It just doesn’t make sense anyways. Like, legumes are such a protein dense source of food, they can be grown worldwide and processed in many different ways… why would we go to the trouble of farming insects for nutrition when we could much more easily just use soy, peas, lentils and beans like we have done for literally 40,000+ years?
