One problem, Geoff, is what sort of test would one use?
Mere testing for protein content, or amino acid or lipid profile would
certainly be of interest, but would likely not tell the whole story.  The
only true test would be long-term feeding trials of caged colonies, which
would be prohibitively expensive.
