The lengths people will go to in order to avoid eating a plant based diet are insane.
In 2021, the E.U. approved feeding insect protein to chickens
Free range chickens have always eaten insects. They eat any insect or seed or small animal they find in the soil.
This is actually a good development. Bug is protein rich and is much easier to grow than mammals.
According to one estimate, Europe’s farm animals have a bigger carbon footprint than its cars.
According to another estimate, leisure cruise ships had a 10x bigger footprint than all Europe’s cars…
But still, it’s great news to reduce farm animal carbon footprint. Not sure whether feeding larvae to piglets will achieve that though (they provide “stimulation”? ugh…), there seem to be better —direct— uses like insect flour, no need to even chew on them whole, although that’s also an option.
