I think it's an untapped resource for mutual aid orgs and should probably go hand in hand with things like community gardens. But yeah, long term we should probably be moving away from killing living beings for food. I'm operating under the assumption that community gardens aren't gonna be able to provide enough of an alternative food source to people given how much of the population are living in urban areas and bug raising can be done distributed and in spaces where gardening can't be done. In my mind, if we're ever gonna pull of mass strikes this would probably be the sort of infrastructure we'd have to think about.
There is significant evidence that insects have something analogous to pain in vertebrates, and the same cannot be said for plants
What is even the point of your comment? People who eat meat throw up as a fucking bazinga as though insects and animals eating plants and then being eaten is somehow less efficient than humans going straight to the plants (or via bacteria)

Plants are living beings too, and there's hardly evidence that they think less than less-intelligent insects (zero in both cases).

Not everything is a debate, comrade.
I agree, but when making assertions about facts of the world or moral systems, your statements become open to debate.
Disengaging.
The point of this thread was to discuss eating bugs. I don't disagree with your message but it's hardly applicable.
