First it was bugs as protein .
Then it was poo burgers .
Now it's trash cookies.
What's next?
I was gonna say piss beer, but we already have heineken.
(Boomer joke I know, I know!
Tbh I drink almost no more alcohol in general)
Idk if it's an unpopular opinion here, but I'm totally cool with bugs as protein. I actually ate a roach that was raised in a clean environment and fed nothing but apples. It wasn't bad, actually kinda good. Tasted vaguely of apple to boot.
Entomophagy isn't even uncommon, globally speaking. And I can vouch for chapulines and escamoles being tasty. I'd happily try more invertebrate foods.
just eat a dang beans

I'm cool with it. I fuckin hate roaches, but that aside, I think people misrepresent the concept for their own goals. The point isn't to eat bugs for protein (even if humans have at various points in history as a cultural norm). The point is modern meat production is killing us, and we should find other ways to supplement our nutritional intake. But the same people who bitch about vegans not getting the right macros or whatever also shit on bugs, so
Which has nothing wrong...?
I mean, i really doubt it's meant to be taken as serious consideration and not just "why don't wr just try for the funnies?"
Seems like you did not even try to understand the article lmao, they just want to showcase their modified yeast that can "eat" PET and produce other stuff with it
I was trying to be funny though.
From the sounds of it, some kind of genetic treatment to turn everyone into raccoons?
Wait I'm kinda down to be a raccoon tho
i know people that ate raccoon, i would never try it. apparently some people in my city caught wild raccon and cooked it and ate it. the meat is like pitch black.
So that's why he cut off and took the roadkill penis....
