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

I've never seen any data suggesting that it takes more land/water/money to raise legumes, etc., than livestock.
