gollark: Intel isn't the only company making microprocessors ever, the trend apparently still holds.

gollark: There are some reasonable arguments regarding animal welfare. While IIRC the insect meat is more energy-dense, insects are small so you need lots more insects to get some amount of energy than you would for, say, sheep. Most people would rank each insect as less important/worthy-of-moral-consideration than the sheep, but potentially not *enough* lower that it's equal/better given the large number.
gollark: It's not like they have spikes/thorns and poisons just for decoration.
gollark: I suppose there are a lot of policies which could be cool™ with good governance but are bad in any practical setting.
