Sorry to have to tell you all the truth about humans but.... Humans eat animals. Which means animals need to die. BRB, BBQ.

Actually, the truth is humans do not require to eat animals... and considering the past, present and futur situation of our planet, farming animals is the most
idiotic thing to keep on doing! Humans eat animals out of cultural preference. There are too many humans and not enough food/land... truth is, it takes an enormous amount of edible plants, and lands to produce these plants, to produce ONE edible cow. The amount of food that could of fed a huge amount of families is thus used to grow and fatten up one animal which will only feed a few, and that for a shorter amount of time!
The solution? Insects! Insects are an equivalent, infact often superior, source of protein than animals, and many of them possess way more nutritional values. Some of them are litterally like eating a steak filled to the brim with vitamines!
1. They require but a fraction of what it costs to raise animal.
2. Farming them would require but a tiny itsy bitsy portion of the farm lands, and of facilities required to sustain farm animals. (which would also save the gigantic portions of forests farmers must destroy in many countries)
3. They can be massed produced way more effeciently.
4. They require no ethical treatment whatsoever.
5. They often have superior nutritional values to mammals.
6. They require but an itsy ridiculously tiny portion of food resources compared to animals. (in fact many could eat waste debris and mostly stuff we don't even eat... so in the end, its a win-win-win situation for the farmer!)
7. They could easily sustain the entire planet if massed produced and marketed widly.
8. They would not require to be fed pestecide filled crops and others.. thus healthier.
9. The equivalent mass of insects can be produced in a tiny fraction of what it takes to produce the same in slow-to-mature animals.
And yes we would eventually get used to eating them ourselves, and within a few generation people would be used to eating them, thus developpe a taste for them. It would be a win-win situation, food shortages would slowly vanish instead of increase, many a land and forest would be saved, and animals would no longer be treated in insanely cruel ways.
But see... people like their hamburger steaks made out of cow meat, and find bugs disgusting... so down the drain goes our morals consiousness and our planet.
