quote:

An international team of scientists has just sequenced a protein crystal located in the midgut of cockroaches. The reason?It's more than four times as nutritious as cow's milk and, the researchers think it could be the key to feeding our growing population in the future.


quote:

Not only is the milk a dense source of calories and nutrients, it's also time released. As the protein in the milk is digested, the crystal releases more protein at an equivalent rate to continue the digestion.

"It's time-released food," said Subramanian Ramaswamy, who led the project. "if you need food that is calorifically high, that is time released and food that is complete. This is it."

If it makes me have that scene like Batman where he conquers his worst fear and I'm engulfed in roaches, I'm 'bout it.

"Delicacy" seems to mean "shite that only a handful of people eat because it's fricking nasty".
