Thanks!

The mix of possible food sources is something I hadn’t considered. I can definitely see that insects could be useful for using up food scraps.

Land use is a complicated one. 18 instead of 25 m² is definitely something, but it pales in comparison to how much more land is used by cattle, pigs or chicken. And it’s not like soybeans (or any other legumes) are intrinsically a destructive crop.
