Hi, lots of courses at the wur talk about eating insects. Why not just eat plants?

What is your opinion on the ethical side of it all?

As someone studying at wur as well. I know we're able to feed everyone using just plants. There are multiple papers on it but I only know poore & nemecek, 2018 by heart.

I'm currently doing a course on entomology and I still don't really get it to be honest. Yes, insects can live on scraps, but we don't really need to eat them right?

Edit: if we're doing insect FEED, we're kinda circling around the problem. We all know about trophic levels, using an animal intermediate such as a cow is always going to result in loss of energy, however much we improve the efficiency
