Insects are nutritious and easy to raise without harming the environment.
They also have a nice nutty taste. Wall Street Journal, Feb 19, 2011.

"Ten pounds of feed yields one pound of beef, three pounds of pork, five
pounds of chicken and up to six pounds of insect meat.
"Insects produce less waste, too. The proportion of livestock that is not
edible after processing is 30% for pork, 35% for chicken, 45% for beef and
65% for lamb. By contrast, only 20% of a cricket is inedible.
"Raising insects requires relatively little water, especially as compared to
the production of conventional meat (it takes more than 10 gallons of water
, for instance, to produce about two pounds of beef).

"'Milk sells for a very, very small margin' of profit, said Nancy Hirshberg,
vice president for natural resources at Stonyfield Farm, a leading maker of
organic dairy products. 'It’s about high volume.'
"MOO Milk got a lifeline in December, when 14 Whole Foods supermarkets in
Massachusetts agreed to sell its milk. But it may not be enough to save it.
Organic milk "typically costs about $4 for a half-gallon, or double the cost
of nonorganic milk.
