 This study examines prospects of edible whole insect and processed insect-based food in Germany and investigates determining factors for acceptance... 

The main results show a low willingness to try insects among Germans and the prevalence of psychological and personality barriers to consumption, such as disgust and food neophobia. Focusing on processed insect products is shown to be the most promising strategy to implement entomophagy, as an essential barrier to consumption is the visibility of the insects.

 Fuck that and fuck you for promoting this.

We’re not meant to eat insects in bulk. The amount of parasites will kill us all. 
 What makes you think I'm promoting this? 
 “Focusing on processed insect products is shown to be the most promising strategy to implement entomophagy, as an essential barrier to consumption is the visibility of the insects.” 
 I'm quoting the abstract.... 
 In a positive light 
 My intention was to raise awareness so that people can avoid eating the bugs. I didn't have any commentary one way or the other, I literally only quoted the abstract.

I think you're reading between lines that aren't there.

 And muted…

 If I'm already muted I guess my reply doesn't matter

But for the record I'm quoting the abstract, not endorsing the study
