insect protein
Insect protein is the ecological experiment set to grace tomorrow’s dinner plates. It’s the groundbreaking method of dulling guilt by pureeing crickets and grasshoppers and shoving them into your mouth. While it’s touted as climate-saving, in practice it has become a new form of culinary coercion. Under the banner of sustainability, humanity has finally resorted to chewing thumb-sized creatures in place of steak. Taste is secondary: it’s merely an act of swallowing an investment in the future.
