This might be a comment out of ignorance so do correct me if it is, but I don't understand the push for insect protein that we've been seeing lately. Why not push for more plant proteins like beans and lentils? Those are already popular and delicious around the world and having more of them would likely be met with greater enthusiasm than bugs.

I think (have no actual knowledge, please take my opinion with a grain of salt) that it was found that plant-based protein sources require massive amounts of production/land use to produce on the same level as animal sources of it. As such, it might make sense to switch from highly wasteful beef and pork production to somewhat less wasteful insects. 

There's probably also an argument to be made that insects are fuckin stupid, so we feel less bad about killing them
