These little freaks right here produce a form of milk protein crystal, meaning in the future it might be possible to not just eat the bug, but milk the bug as well.

HOWEVER, that raises the question, what is “bug milk”? Because if you go by the precedent of nut milks, it’s a milk of ground and processed bug. But if you go by the precedent of animal milk, then it would refer to the milk FROM the bug

Without clear rules dictating how to speak here, how is someone to know which product they’re getting??

    I hereby dictate that all “bug milk” be made from equal parts liquefied grubs and actual milk produced by bugs

    I agree but only if we fund scientific endeavors into new ways to produce nut milk, so that it can be equal parts nutted milk and ground, milked nuts
