If they were clever, they would find ways to dissolve and extract the protein and ingredients from insects' bodies, then solidify it again, press it into bars and sell it like a block of Tofu. They do so with "Fleischwurst" -



first it is all kind of meat remains and slaughter waste in a bin, then they add some enzymes, it becomes liquid alltogether and loses all looks and structure. Spice in, salt in, stir. Then another enzyme added, and it solidiefies again. The result has nothing that reminds of real meat's consistency, nevertheless is in high demand at least over here. (I personally do not like it, but that is exclusively taste-related).

What keeps people from eating insectoid protein or a larva, is the looks, and the fact that you eat all the internal stuff as well: little brains, all kind of imagined glibbery slobber, digestion system plus content, and so forth. This has to be bypassed, and acceptance will raise.
