Ive looked into this a little bit before, and while insects have theoretical advantages, its actually really difficult to beat chickens for turning feed into protein. Beef is extremely inefficient by nature, but theres a lot of technical hurdles between us from an insect meat world.

The optimization in mass production should meet chickens at least roughly for this to work out. Though also interesting would be the health of the insects. I know nothing about that, but maybe we wouldn’t need that much antibiotica as with meat mass production.
