I'm usually into trying out cool emergency rations like this. I've tried insect foods like cricket-based protein powder, cricket-based chips and mealworm patties, dehydrated food, soylent, Huel, MRE's etc.
But plastic-based really scares me. Not sure I could eat this. The idea freaks me out. I'd eat bugs before this. The process does sound pretty cool tho, so I'd like to have one. I'd at least take a bite!
From article: “For now, the cookies have received high marks on aroma, with most participants agreeing that they would be willing to eat the cookies in resource-limited situations,” a press release said.
