> bankrupt despite raising over $600 million, including from Downey Jr.’s FootPrint Coalition, taxpayers, and many others. How on earth did French taxpayers get roped into funding a moonshot startup whose entire goal was to make pet food out of insects.. | ||

Good question. There seems to be strong lobbying for insects as human food, in particular from companies that would be happy feed us with their own shit as long as it's cheap and they could get away with it The green-left seems to enjoy that idea. Exactly why is hard to tell - especially on HN, but let's say I don't think it's rational. So I guess, successful lobbying? | ||
