THUNDERDOME LOSER
If you had`nt had blood sausage you haven`t truly lived. There is so much food being wasted today that a lot can be done to stave off starvation by just not tossing poo poo away before you have to. Encouraging white suburbanites to eat all parts of the animal ( the guts, the liver, the blood, and yes the brain, the eyes etc) is also a good idea. If we are going to still mass produce meat, let`s at least make the most of every pound we produce.

I also love the idea of using Insects. Even if the western world can`t be convinced to eat it crickets can be used as feed in the aquaculture industry. Rigth now we are basically vaacuming the oceans for small fish that we feed to the bigger fish in the aquafarms. That`s not terribly efficent or very suistanble in the long run.
Heck just actully enforcing suistainble fishing quotas will do a lot to improve food safety. Too bad that`s not very profitable in the short term, so expect massive extinction of fish that are suitable for human consumption. I fear that our grandchildren will never know the taste of Tuna, wild salmon is not looking too good either.

THUNDERDOME LOSER
Before we all succumb to despair we should remember that it is possible to change what people see as "good eating". The Chinese traditionally don`t like to eat cheese. Due to western influence this is slowly starting to change. The Potato used to be tougth of as a good for nothing pagan vegetable that good christian farmers ougth to stay away from. These days they are grown in most European countries. Back in the middle ages the wealthy nobles would cats and dogs just to distinguish themselves from the common folk. A more recent example is the consumption of horse meat in parts of Europe which used to be taboo. Peoples`s food preferences can be made to change. If people like Nigella Lawson and other celerbity chefs could start making food from "undesireable" body parts things migth start to change. Soon every foodie will start making blood sausage and cooked bull`s testicles, after that it`s just a matter of time before ordinary people start doing the same. The key is to get the " cool people" to endorse this.If this seems far fetched please remeber that we live in a world where the age old tradition of giving your financee a big fat diomand was created from thin air by deBeers marketing department in the 20`s. The norms and expectations of the general public can be molded like silly putty if you have the rigth tools. It`s 100% possible to make blood sausage and crickes the next cool thing. So let`s not give up yet folks.
