Yeah, how about no

Cockroaches are mammals???
Does this mean we're going to start breeding cockroaches for breast size?
Roaches have nipples? Greg, I'm talking to you.
How do you milk them?
Imagine how many cock roaches you need to milk to fill a glass
Just get a few fallout ones.
Almost sounds like we'd need an entire farm. Imagine the horrors of something like that
I didn't know cockroaches were mammals. Everyday is a new lesson on Lemmy.
Close, you actually blend them up and strain out the liquid.
That would definitely be easier than trying to milk them twice a day...
From what I remember, the original study was indeed about cockroach "milk", from a species that births live babies and feeds them a slurry of crystals and proteins. That slurry is the stuff that is technically more "nutritious"
I don't think anyone is actually trying to get humans to consume the stuff. There are a lot of mammals that produce milk that is more nutrient dense than cow milk, it's just not as easy to collect it + theres little reason to do so
Don't tell this to RFK Jr.
Too late, he's balls deep already.
Mandatory for all public school meals if they want funding. RFK Jr milks the roaches himself to ensure the highest nutritional content.
Gotta suck on that cock
how did they grab the roach titties
I'll just drink four times as much milk.
They have to kill the mothers. It's nowhere near a practical food. One estimate suggested you'd need around a thousand roaches to get about 100 grams of crystals. The more realistic idea scientists floated was sequencing the genes behind the protein and producing it with yeast. 😬
I’d support killing a thousand roaches. For science.
The scientists that tested it can have it all for themselves, I'll even give them a free pass to lord it over us cow milk drinking peons.
I believe this is Cockroach Janta Party (a satirical political party in india) propaganda.
why bother when oat milk is best milk anyways
The production of oat milk doesn't involve animal abuse so I'll never drink it. Yuck!
Peamilk is better imo but nobody stocks it. I imagine something that sounds like "pee milk" is hard to market though to be fair.
Okay so... One species of cockroach DOES produce "milk" but its the Pacific beetle cockroach (Diploptera punctata)

They secrete the "milk" into the brood sack (uterus-like pouch housing embryos).
- milk the roaches.
- roast the roaches.
- Grind the roaches.
- Drip them...
Delicious, low impact, home made drink!
