As you mentioned in the very beginning, the majority of the people in the world (not only your readers) consider this theme repulsive, but the fact is that we need to find different sources of "food", because 8 Billion people is a lot to sustain.
Either we want it or not this solutions have to become viable, because $16 per kg is quite a bit, and I don't see people massively choosing to buy a insects instead of meat with similar or even higher prices.
Absolutely. Maybe the solution isn't insects but we'll have to find a more sustainable way going forward...
Yep, I agree!
Perhaps the price will drop. It seems like the cricket lab we read about is very sophisticated and innovative. They are already farming using efficient techniques, such as the "towers" the crickets live in, a technique also productive for farming plant based foods (strawberries for example) though I don't think foods are commercially produced using these methods that much. My point is, right now it seems a bit expensive but I think once this practice (and production) are improved/perfected and more widely used (to generate revenue) then prices will drop!
