I found the paper, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6123606/, and it's based on calorie per gram which has to be the dumbest of all possible metrics. By that metric table sugar is 12 times as nutritious as broccoli.
So bug milk is 3x more calorie dense than regular milk. What an idiotic thing to praise. People want less calorie density in their food, not more. This is directly lying to people.
They did mention that it may be more useful for populations that are underfed, but peanut butter already fills that niche pretty well (and by their own dumb metric is 4 times more nutritious than cockroach milk). Really I think they just wanted to do some science on roaches and needed a bullshit application because you can't get a grant these days without something about climate change in the proposal.
Don't give the fuckers any more ideas, please.
Then again, they already said sugary cereal is better for you than eggs or meat, so I suppose we're already there.
Wait, this is real? I thought it was satire. What the fuck
