This is an interesting comment and a point of view I haven't seen before. Do you have any source materials for the information in the first two paragraphs? I'd like to read more, from sources I can validate. Not that I disbelieve you particularly, I simply want to see the info from a more scientific source than social media.

And as for

i think protein from breeding maggots is the more realistic and sustainable source of meat

YUK I don't think that will sell very well. There will be more than enough resistance to lab grown "meat".

    Yeah, I'm 100% down with cricket-based protein, but even I balk at maggot-based protein. Gonna be a hard sell, for sure.
