Reply to comment by Grand-Mix-870 in Study: Enough minerals to fuel green energy shift -"The analysis is robust and this study debunks those (running out of minerals) concerns" by Surur

Very unique ideas, but unless faced with actual starvation, there is no way the masses will accept eating crickets and roaches as opposed to the continuation of animal farming.

Seriously, how do you propose to have people change lifelong behaviors and attitudes towards cows/chickens/insects in order to have people eat bugs instead of cows?

Poultry also have the lowest footprint of all the animals we typically consume. It would be far easier and net positive to have people consume more birds and lower cows and pigs then to switch people over to roaches and crickets.

Lastly, by and far, energy for industry generated through coal plants is the biggest contributor to climate change. Tackling that makes the biggest dent.

I am not disagreeing with you nor am I claiming to have a diagram for actionable change. I just feel the possibility is there and now seems like a time where it might be viable.

The masses are more susceptible to influence from exterior sources than ever. Social media has given rise to megaphones on even the stupidest mouths.

Utilize this for positive change as opposed to criticizing its existence.

If a pussy scented candle can gain traction through "goop", better choices for food can become a hot trend too.

Crickets taste better than Kale.
