Richard: “The next time the motherfucker calls, tell him to suck my dick. Do people laugh when you say what you say? Do you get paid?

Eddie: “Yeah I think so. Yeah”

Richard: “Then tell ‘Bill’ to have a Coke and a smile and shut the fuck up. The Jello pudding eating motherfucker.”

Extremely durable, fast growing, highly disgusting source of protein?

EDIT:

GPT says:

Because, disturbingly, cockroaches are actually useful livestock.

The biggest reasons people deliberately raise millions of them are:

  • Animal feed. Roaches are cheap, protein-rich food for reptiles, fish, birds, and some farmed animals. They reproduce rapidly and can be raised vertically in enormous densities.
  • Traditional Chinese medicine. This is the really surprising one. China has had industrial-scale farms raising species such as the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana). They are processed into extracts used in some traditional/approved medicinal preparations, particularly products marketed for wound healing and gastrointestinal conditions. Evidence varies considerably depending on the claimed use.
  • Waste conversion. Cockroaches will eat a remarkable range of organic waste. A colony can convert food scraps into insect biomass and frass, somewhat like black soldier-fly farming.
  • Research. Their nervous systems, regeneration, microbiomes, disease resistance, and extraordinarily robust immune defenses make them useful experimental organisms.
  • Pet/feed market. Dubia roaches in particular are commercially raised as feeder insects. Compared with crickets, they're quiet, don't smell nearly as much, live a long time, reproduce reliably, and can't climb smooth surfaces.
Supposedly there are some Chinese farms with literally billions of roaches.
