SB 111-01: You Will Eat Bugs Act of 2022 (Debating)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So I take it the objective here is to spur a new sector in agriculture?

Are there any other benefits/drawbacks such as potential health or environmental concerns that may occur as a result of such harvesting?

I would still like a response here.

Generally this is vaguely modeled after IRL farm subsides to spur a new sector of agriculture. A health concern would be possibly ingesting some insecticides.

What about potential for destruction of natural plant and bug ecosystems if a particular bug is brought into an area that it doesn't normally exist in, to be raised on a mass scale?
