I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.

Yeah it’s this. We don’t eat the shells/outsides of lobster (at least most probably don’t). I don’t want to eat exoskeleton.

Yeah, chitin is really hard to digest and sensitive stomachs will have issues.

Cricket powder is good fucking sports nutrition, tho

I tried cricket protein bars once and they made me shit like a horse. The chitin is not separated from the protein, and it is a LOT of fiber.

Not sure if that’s a positive or negative, horses seem to shit pretty good

The pure carnivores have a way to poop healthy?

I'm almost positive the chitin is filtered out somehow. Or hell, maybe it's left in there for some reason by design.

So it's possible!
