    but insects are less efficient than just growing protein-rich crops, it makes way way more sense to just stop feeding our crops to livestock and instead turning it into seitan and TVP

    plus, both of those products are effectively just a strange kind of meat, if you serve someone bolognese without telling them it’s made with seitan they absolutely will not notice the difference.

      Please do tell me more about seitan and TVP.

      Or, rather, I will have to look into these more on my own at some point.

        i mean there’s not much to it, they’re both protein extracted from plants in some way.
        the only real difference to meat is slightly different texture and lack of innate flavour, so you need to either serve with something else flavourful or marinate it first.
