Convenient food breakthrough for environmentalists and Preppers, (and health conscious people)

I want one, between this and sprouting, it would sure supplement a prepper’s diet.

“for environmentalists and Preppers,” Oh good, I’m exempt! Pass the Bacon Cheeseburger and large fries, please! Oh, and don’t forget the diet coke! :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m except too. One large porterhouse over here, medium rare please. :bigsmile:

I get my chickens to prosess bugs for me :smiley:

In a long lasting emergency, steak may not be available.

That’s an apocalypse, not a long emergency…

Next you will say booze may run out…. I will have to resort to drinking only water, crazy speak, all of it!!!

Wait, I didn’t know steak was on the menu! Which page was that? Oh, I see! In that case, I’ll have the 10 oz Ribeye! Forget the diet coke, make it a Dr Prepper! :wink:

Looks like Quorn to me.

Interesting. Gross, but interesting.

What exactly are they selling? There was a very brief description, but I want to see a cutaway of “The Hive”

Just think, now we don’t have to pay those high grocery store prices for prime worm meat.

Was not sure I'd like eating a worm

So I ate one last night to confirm

The poor guy had drowned

In some mescal I downed

And I'll say it made my belly squirm

What’s all the buzz about? I’ve got enough home-made “Soylent Green” to last 5 years and am seeking roads with more cyclists so I can increase my stock, maybe even open a used bike parts store :open_mouth:

Now if they could just genetically design a mini hive like this to grow fresh beef steaks, burgers, chicken & Salmon ready to cook i would buy one.

So I never decided whether this is awesome or disgusting or both but researchers are essentially working on ways to grow burgers.

I never figured out what hormones they use to keep the muscle cells replicating, but I wouldn’t be surprised if in a couple of years this method could be adapted to something viable in a disaster scenario if you really wanted a burger.

Now whether eating a burger grown in a petri dish is much less gross than eating mealworms is up to you.

Simple, healthy, affordable food.

Welcome to the future.

I think it sounds cool, but it will probably never take off. The mealworm thing already has a huge head start in availability and price. Plus, mealworms may be bugs, but they’re real bugs, at least.

What may hurt mealworms, though, is that they are not just worms. They are beetle larvae. Who’s gonna want a box of beetles sitting on their kitchen cabinet making babies?

PETA’s gonna have a field-day too. They already claim that bee-farming (for honey) is ‘exploiting’ bees. Wait till they find out people are raising beetle larvae as cattle to be turned into meatloaf!

Think I’ll just stick to being a vegetarian.

i will substitute venison.look out bambi!
