I cannot help but think about that future-set movie with a non-stop train conditions non-survivable outside the train, with a class system on the train. The lowest class people were at the back of the train were fed something called nutrition bars or blocks (or something like that), which looked like mysterious black jello-like bricks. They were made on the train from cockroaches. Anyone know what movie I’m talking about? This research fits nicely into that movie narrative.

You are probably talking about Willy Wonka and Chocolate factory sequel called Snowpiercer. Here is my evidence https://youtu.be/jEX52h1TvuA
Snowpiercer. Good flick.
I enjoyed the show a lot too, though it's sadly in limbo
No ❤️
People who turn up their noses to this stuff make me laugh ngl.
Y'all realize cheese is gut bacteria in spoiled milk right? Eggs are ovum of a creature. We break the legs of baby calf's for veal. Sausage, hot dogs, caviar.c
I dunno I'd try roach milk
Yeah we do eat some disgusting things. What works on me is if you start feeding it to me before I know what it is. Then after I’m accustomed to something it takes a higher level of disgust to turn me.
Hot dogs in fact crossed that threshold. I ate them as a kid then one day questioned what they were, heard John Candy call them lips and assholes, saw a video of that pink slime in big vats, and that turned me. No more hot dogs for me. OTOH, I had a quite tasty vegan hotdog that was good at simulating the real thing using nuts.
I’ve mostly ditched dairy milk out of a combination of mild disgust coupled with better alternatives (coconut milk). I’ll do Bailley’s but pass on the milk stout beers.
Anyway, you can feed bugs and cockroach milk to your kids and maybe they grow up accustomed to it.
Yeah I saw Snowpiercer
I'll try it... but only if you do it with me
yeah i dont care if it gives me another 100 years of life. I am not drinking it.
And also stupidly inefficient to produce
Not sure why that is necessarily the case. Recall how wine was made at one point: people barefeet got in a tub of grapes and smashed them by running around. Roach milk could be a matter of rounding up some 8 year old boys and giving them gummy bears or a candybar if they stomp around in a vat of roaches.
No, even the more advanced factories that just exist on paper don't even get close to decent
