    I think that is what they are saying. People would rather eat insects, which are animals, rather than just go vegan

    You'd rather eat a bean with 6 pairs of legs instead of a bean with no legs?

    the "insect farming" idea is mostly hype to get subsidies, as the demand is absent, the subsidized insect farming will just end up as concentrated feed for the usual vertebrate animal farming operations.
