This is based on reduction of meat expenditure and that the insects have equal macronutrient value?
You are also mentioning cholesterol and fat, but there is no scientific evidence that cholesterol is connected in any way with fat intake.
I would also like to know, is there more type of insects and are they also rich in fiber, which minerals and vitamins they are also rich with? What is the amount of insects we need to consume to satisfy the amount we would consume with meat?
Always open to new things so don't get this post wrong, just full of questions :)

In addition, insects are a real energetic concentrate: they have a lot of nutrients, a very high protein content, as well as vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids ... To be healthy, the human body needs a daily protein intake, since it can not make them alone: insects are full of proteins. For example, 100g of crickets cover half the protein requirement of an adult weighing 70kg, and contain 3 times more than beef at equal weight. Crickets, like many insects, have many vitamins, such as vitamins B1, B2 or B3, necessary for proper muscular and nervous function, essential in the transformation of food into energy, or in the formation of red blood cells for example . They are also filled with minerals, such as calcium, iron, zinc or phosphorus, to name a few.
In addition, the fiber content of insects is much higher than that contained in meat, and their lipid content is very low (less than 5%), making it a particularly healthy source of natural food, when we pay attention to his line, or his health. In addition, insects are also full of good fatty acids (which the body is unable to manufacture), which is a very valuable nutritional quality.
Thank you for links :)
I am good with everything you linked and thank you for education but this cholesterol "study" cannot be relevant. I can't find it on Pubmed too, which is a relevant source.
Here are some relevant studies that are a clear proof that cholesterol and fat are not connected in any way, and fat intake cannot be connected with cholesterol. It's an old myth that was created in 1950s when sugar industry did it, and then we started to have low fat products until several years ago when things got back to real.
Here are some links of real scientific studies where it is clear that there is no link between these two :)

Thank you for your links ;o)
And yes, I am sorry, but I don't understand French.
What is the amino-acid profile of protein that comes from insects? :)
