You just lost a debate lol. Name me the digestive system of the ruminants and tell me how do they digest their food. Tell me what is the common feed ingredient in the cattle industry, if you can i will shut the hell up

Your comment shows how much of an uneducated retard that you are. It did not say anything about harvesting insect from the wild, we are talking about upcycling agriculutral by-product and human waste into insect protein. Not all species can be cultivated and only select few do well.
Cow can actually digest animal protein as long as it can bypass the rumen. They have the digestion system similar to ominivores, except that they have a rumen in front of them before they get to the true stomach similar to ours.

Avians, amphibians, sea-life, and omnivores can process insects – let the herbivores eat the herbs: Get back to selling grasshopper burgers and grub pudding.

Oh gosh, let me fall on my knees and sacrifice myself to your feet. Again, bless your heart. Yeah, cows are so complicated. Have a nice life with all your civility.

“This is part of what’s wrong with our country” ~ Do you mean lack of civility? I agree.
I don’t need a degree to know what a cow eats, but I do know from working in the dairy industry and listening to animal nutritionists, that this is not as simple as you might think. Yes, cows can do fine eating grass, but grass alone is not an optimal diet if you’re going for growth/health/milk productivity.
By the way, I’m not sure why you were triggered over my comment, I’m just providing information, if you’re not interested, that’s OK.

This is part of what’s wrong with our country….you need a degree to tell you what a cow eats?! Bless your stupid heart. Hahah. Triggered over a comment. Bless your heart once again.

The insects in question would be raised for the specific purpose of being fed to animals. This would have no impact on wild insect populations.

People are going to consume beef and dairy products whether you like it or not. Making their production more ecological is a good thing and may reduce the impact on the environment.

The profanity and insults are unnecessary and childish. Also, unless you are an animal nutritionist, don’t tell us what cows are “supposed to eat”.

Pure evil works away in labs trying to change things. Go fuck yourselves.
