>Professor Louw Hoffman said black soldier fly's larvae, which was already utilised for animal feed, was a high quality protein.
"Just like meat, it contains all the nutrients humans need for health," Professor Hoffman said.
The PROFESSOR said to eat up, NOW EAT UP.

It's crazy how despite being used as animal feed, animals STILL have 100x less cadmium than this amazing nutritious food.

There IS A REASON most cultures RARELY eat bugs or use them as a last resort...
>substances in the larvae of Tenebrio molitor and observed Cd concentrations of 0.0085–0.016 mg/kg. Denloye et al. (2015) reported Cd concentrations of 0.08–0.12 mg/L in termite species found in Nigeria.
Tenebrio molitor = mealworms.
Termite cadmium is still 1.5x-2x as much as the acceptable limit for food.
>Similarly, Abdullahi et al. (2022) reported Pb concentrations of 0.7 mg/kg in grasshoppers, 1.14 mg/kg in ladybugs, 0.23 mg/kg in termites and 0.04 mg/kg in locusts.
In the USA, which has lower standards for food than Europe, https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media_file/2021-02/GB-2762-2017.pdf max concentrations hover around 0.20-0.50mg/kg in most foods. Bivalves (oysters and clams) allow 1.5 but actually have valuable nutrients unlike insects, they also don't have chitin which is inflammatory by itself not even counting the heavy metals. Jellyfish limit is 2.0mg/kg, I don't know why you'd eat that.

The only insect there below the limit is locusts.

Guess what? Jewish tradition holds that locusts are an acceptable, clean food.
There are no traditions for 90% of the insects the WEF wants you to eat, ancient humans knew by taste and by feeling that most insects are unfit to eat unless you are starving.

Best insects:
>locusts (not grasshoppers)
>mealworms
Worst insects:
>everything else
>especially: roaches, maggots, flies, roly-polies
