Insect Farming for Food and Feed is not recommended as a climate solution because it offers minimal opportunities for GHG reductions and has significant down sides.
Chirps (chips made of powdered cricket) exist, but they never took off. People have tried a lot of ideas, its moreso that consumers havent really shown much motivation towards insects as a protein
Keratin protein bars is one of the better ideas Ive heard. Even still a lot of people wouldnt touch it if they saw it was insect-derived protein on the label
Yeah, people don’t want it if they know it has bugs in it. That’s why you have to put it under some alias such as the Latin name under ingredients only. Putting “it has bugs” on the label is pretty much the opposite of what you should do because then you only target like 0.1% of the population.
Later on you could make an “organic” version “with real insect keratin” or whatever.

I think people that enjoy keratin just eat their nails.
