I have been hearing for years about how insects and lab grown meat could reduce food emissions. What is holding it back?

I can’t speak much to lab grown meats, but the insect argument lies in the fact that most westerners find the idea of eating insects to be off putting.
A friend of mine who studied some form of plant/food science told me that in the US, there is more nutritional value in the insects that are killed (with pesticides) on agriculture than compared to the nutritional value of the harvested crops.
Which validates what you’ve been hearing, but highlights that knowing what is better isn’t the issue. It’s getting people to change their behavior that poses as the challenge
