On a related note, castoreum -- an extract of beaver anal glands -- is used as vanilla flavoring in some food products.

 

[SRG01]

Vast majority of the industry still uses vanilla

 

[Scratch]

i politely, but firmly refuse

 

[PSqueak]

Ever eaten anything that was artificially colored red?

You were eating a (very small amount) of these dudes, dried and ground up.


MMMMMMM, right!?

I know this, but on the other hand, i have an irrational borderline phobia dislike of roaches, so that's still a hard no for me.

 

[zeemumu]

 

[Master Milk]

I don't approve.

 

[Dalek]

 

[Zombine]

You can milk anything with nipples

 

[TheMan]

nasty dystopian future shit.

so basically next january if trump wins :/

 

[Ishida]

AW HELL NAW.

 

[adamsappel]

What's the matter, Mr. Pratt? Bugs got you?

You can milk anything with nipples

I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?

 

[Insane Metal]

Scientists sequenced the genes for the milk protein to reproduce the substance in a lab. "The crystals are like a complete food -- they have proteins, fats and sugars. If you look into the protein sequences, they have all the essential amino acids," researcher Sanchari Banerjee told the Times of India.

So why not? We eat so much junk food already, guess this can't be worse.

 

[milkham]

It says that they reproduce the substance in a lab.

You guys are fucking wusses.

of course that's what they'd say

 

[spazchicken]

So guess what guys, I'm done eating...forever.

 

[gdt]

You know what....fuck this. This can't be the road we go down. I aint that haungry.

 

[Cuburt]

Lol obviously they wouldn't call it cockroach milk, especially since it is synthesized in a lab.

 

[elrechazado]

Maybe because humans produce milk themselves.

That's exactly what I just said...

 

[docbon]

protein crystals?

gotta get them gains bruh

 

[Vandiger]

Snowpiercer here we come.

Oh god.

 

[m_dorian]

No. No. Never.

 

[idlewild_]

I'd try it. It's made in a lab anyways, could just call it some super nutritious milk substitute.

 

[Dreavus]

It's like they chose the most repulsive thing possible to conduct food research around.

If there is merit to it though, it won't stop anyone. Package/process it right and people will not care.

MMMMMMM, right!?

That would be a natural food dye, not an artificial one.

 

[TakeItSlowDude]

Yes

 

[MutFox]

In the end they won't call it Cockroach Milk,
it'll be called something people can't pronounce and be in everything.

 

[jelly]

I'm in.

There is probably loads of awful shit in our food that we don't know about and would shock us if we visualised it as an actual thing. Hell, sweets are probably full of colouring that is probably bug crushing.

Roaches survive everything, might be some good stuff.

 

[Ponn]

You have a choice in Roach milk so choose Ray's Real Roach Milk!

 

[Already Torn]

How can I trick the ones in my house into walking into a juicer?

"Entamilk"

I don't know if I could bring myself to drink from a bottle labeled "Roach Milk," but I agree.

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

No. Nee. Jo. Votch. Ne. Nah. Nahi. Nedda. Non.

Yeah, I think I made myself clear...

 

[Breads]

Sounds pretty neat.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Just need a good name. I'm coining Critter Crystals.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Nope

 

[qcf x2]

Figures we'd have to rely on the aliens to get us some scifi sustenance. I'm all for it if they can make it taste okay.

Edit: ITT how many people grossed out by this have ever enjoyed some honey?

 

[Geist-]

I mean, is it really that bad if they make it in a lab instead of harvesting it from cockroaches? Take out the roach from the equation and I'd eat it.

 

[DietRob]

foh science has gone too far

MMMMMMM, right!?

poor little guys

 

[TheAbsolution]

Nope.

 

[Fushin]

It's made in a lab so it's not like I'll be drinking something straight from a roach.

 

[Slayer-33]

Yes

The hell?

 

[RPS37]

Yup

Exactly what I thought of.

 

[squidyj]

sounds like it would taste alright.

 

[Breads]

You all are being ridiculous.

While not knowing where things like pigments and flavor additives and whatnot come from if this makes you squeamish.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Where PopGAF one of your favs

 

[Joyful]

its inevitable that people will subsist on insects one day

the indoctrination has already begun with seafood

 

[Already Torn]

The thing that freaks me out is that some people apparently only want to eat the adorable animals.

 

[MonkeyKing]

Absolutely not, and I'm offended even at the suggestion. Hell no.

 

[Wendel Clark]

is there a vegan option?

 

[Schweinehund]

don't they put like synthetic beaver butt gland in ice cream?

just don't tell anyone what it is and it'll all be good.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm down. I think our conditioned aversion to insects as a source of nourishments needs to end. Especially if it helps solve global hunger, and ends up being better for the planet.
