Do cicadas have Tropomyosin? I am allergic to shellfish and if they have this protein then I cannot eat them do to allergy. Finding this info on the web has been extremely difficult.

not extremely difficult, it is known they have simolar allergens as seafood so be careful

This isn't recent. It's a decade or so old, however I believe it took them a fair while to get insectmeal approved, for the consumption of fish

The trouble lies in them "improving" the insects.

Many livestock are improved animals. What's the improvement? Selecting better individuals in terms of breeding, food conversion efficiency, adaptability, etc. Nothing to worry about, really...

@@hotarukaleidos They have a slight argument but probably not one they're making Fish farms traditionally required "fish meal" (ie: salmon would eat ground up sardines/anchovies). Insect meal like this has taken off, which is great for those fish farms and to ensure sustainability, including allowing anchovies and sardines to repopulate. Fish farming however is a double edged sword. On the one hand, we get plenty of cheap accessible protein whilst keeping fish populations reasonably sustainable but on the other hand, the very act of fish farming leads to lower quality fish in the first place, and therefore worse nutritionally I honestly wish that lab produced fish could be realised. Then we could have "wild" fish produced in a lab, and it'd mean that all over the world, we'd no longer have to actually fish.

@@waqasahmed939 yeah the nutrition in wild fish comes from the stress of having to live an actual life. It's difficult to mimic in a farm where you're just giving them food. But we can supplement and we ourselves can live more "stressful" lives (weight training, cardio training, fasting) so the most important thing is getting sustainable food sources first I think

COOL !!!!!

you will

Why not just eat the insects yourself?

That's a thing too! This vid was about insects for animal feed but edible insects are a reality too. There're many companies working on product development. Cricket and mealworm pasta, hamburgers, crackers, protein powder for milkshakes and bakery... and an interesting one is ice cream made of Black Soldier Larvae "millk"~ uwu

The biggest issue in genetic engineering is actually not us consuming the plant or animal that was engineered, it's if that engineered plant or animal "escapes" what it does to wild ecosystems. It can basically be like releasing the terminator out there. So that's where people have to be very careful

That's the future to feed animals.

Eh. In this case it's more an alternative feed for cattle, then for human consumption. I'd rather not eat insects, but meat from a cow that did doesn't strike me as too bad. I mean they're already being fed the growth-food, so the insects might be better, who knows.
