Scientists Advocate Replacing Cattle With Insects

rhettb writes "Scientists in the Netherlands have discovered that insects produce significantly less greenhouse gas per kilogram of meat than cattle or pigs. Their study, published in the online journal PLoS, suggests that a move towards insect farming could result in a more sustainable — and affordable — form of meat production."

Where's that "fucking retarded" tag, again?

Hey, I propose we all eat something disgusting and horrifying, because it's "more sustainable"! (Yes, I know tribes in the middle of nowhere that dance around a fire with their boobies flapping in the breeze all day that have never seen an 'outsider' survive entirely on grub worms or whatever -- I don't care).

I have an idea. How about we attack pollution spewing gas-guzzlers, teh trend of every home owner having a "grass" lawn (very bad on the environment), and corporations dumping waste illegally before we start resorting to eating fucking giant god damn bugs. Also, what's with those giant plastic cups full of piss in the photo? Is that another movement they're proposing? Yum. Giant freaky bugs and cups of urine. The future sounds awesome.
