Some people find him a bit too preachy or wears his heart on his sleeve. However his battles for healthier food in schools is commendable.

There was a study in the 90s wherein the authors sterilized a cockroach and dipped it in some juice. Despite knowing the juice was perfectly safe rationally, most people would refuse to drink it. I find myself in that camp.

People also rejected fudge shaped like dog feces or soup stirred with a brand-new flyswatter.

I'm hoping that cultivated meat can make itself a viable commercial product. And then there's Air Protein, which should be acceptable to all: https://www.airprotein.com/

If you're not vegetarian you most likely eat animal fed with animal or insect "flours"

Unless you eat local meat from the farmer next door you would be extremely disgusted at how your meat is made too

> As maggots have been around a lot longer than humans,

Mushrooms and cows (ancestors) too, "evolution" is almost never a good argument for anything

Of course this only applies to species of flies that go for these food sources. Most fly larva (really most insect larva) look like "maggots", including for species like hoverflies that eat nectar. But these "maggots" are usually hidden in the soil or on the plant and don't show up in one place in large quantities. Thus there's an obvious association between maggots and rot.

how much would you bet?

My take is to use cultivated insects (Black Soldier Flies), duckweed, and algae as protein feedstock for chickens and fish. Along with more humane husbandry of them it should be an acceptable path for protein for people.

I can't believe this timeline sometimes. Cultivated maggots at scale.

They were left largely untouched.

Investors problems obviously. If you care about the ecological or moral aspect of meat consumption we already have way more than enough affordable/healthy/tasty solutions
