And here I've been feeding the darn things to my lizard when I catch em.

And my chickens love the crickets.

What fake meat ?

There are many different kind of veggie burgers/vegan alternatives for a piece of meat or minced meat.
Vegetarian means they dont contain insects and vegan alternatives are completely plant based.

The fake lab grown meat (beef) is made with genetic material from cows and is real meat grown in an artificial environment on a substrate. Its still super expensive. Not easy to upscale and uses lots of energy.

The fake meat products I've looked at are highly processed with an ingredients list too long to bother reading.
I won't eat it. I would rather pay three times the price or more for properly raised meat. I don't really care if it's organic.

There's some companies that are selling crickets for human consumption

If people could be persuaded to eat less meat and the price of decent meat was to go up considerably it would help I beleive. I think in your youth and mine, meat was more of a once or twice a week occasion. These days it seems people expect to eat meat once or twice a day and this alone is contributing to the health problems due to diet we are now facing. I read with some disgust people on this forum writng about how they eat 12oz steaks for example. The digestive system just can't process the nutrients contained in that amount of meat. It's simple gluttony.

Yes. This.
I eat meat roughly once a week. I enjoy meat and source it as locally as possible from as humane a source as possible.
I am lucky in that where I live I have access to small scale family farms.
The rest of the time I eat mainly vegetable based meals. Also fish and of course eggs from my wonderful ladies.

Lab grown meat is not really fake meat. It is real meat, artificially grown.
Fake meat is not meat but other things made to resemble meat.
Personally I don’t really need either. I enjoy beans and veggies for what they are, without them needing to pretend to be meat.
I can imagine trying lab grown meat if it ever got to a point where it really meant no cruelty and was environmentally better, but I am not sure that will be in my lifetime.
Meanwhile I am prepared to pay more for ethically sourced meat and just eat less of it.
