Swedish Govt Spends Millions Telling Citizens To Eat Insect “Meat” To End Climate Change
Active Post ^ | April 29, 2016 | Joseph Jankowski

The Swedish government is taking an extremely bizarre commitment to fighting climate change by spending large sums of taxpayer money to develop 'meat' made from mealworms and crickets. Vinnova, the Swedish government agency that distributes money for research and development, is spending some 2.7 billion kronor ($261 million) to replace conventional meat with 'climate-friendly' insect 'meat' and other strange alternatives. Yum… Breitbart News reports:

Green activists and the United Nations are behind such political initiatives as 'Meat Free Mondays' — a gateway to full vegetarianism — which are based on the premise that meat consumption is driving man-made climate change. Another method to reduce that so-called burden on the earth is replacing meat protein with that harvested from insects instead.

To that end, Vinnova is awarding half a million kronor each to fifteen different projects across the country, each of which tasked with creating an "edible prototype" of a new food. Among the mouth-watering projects being funded are an attempt to produce a "good and healthy product from mealworms which are fed on vegetable food scraps to become a climate friendly source of protein", "food prototypes" made from "refined mealworms", and mincemeat made out of "climate smart insects" such as crickets.

Other enticing offerings not involving insects include "climate-fungal protein", a "healthy vegetarian barbecue made from by-products" and "fibrous raw materials", and a "blue cheese-like product" made from beans...

It was God Himself who ordained that man eat animals. Why? Every time we eat an animal, we are confronted with the fact that something has to die for us to live. A physical type of a spiritual reality. To save us from our fallen state, God came down and took the punishment that we deserve on the cross. We also remember this sacrificial love of our God each time we receive Holy Communion by acknowledging that we are sustained by His body broken for us, and His blood shed for our sins. Cain, the brother of Abel, firstborn son of Adam and Eve heard the oft repeated story of how his parents broke faith with God and sinned. He heard how beautiful Eden was before the fall, and the saw the yearly animal sacrifice that had to be offered for each man's sins (...for without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.) Adam, Eve, and Abel understood this well and brought their sacrifices to the alter (Genesis 4).

But this did not sit well with Cain. Why should an innocent lamb have to suffer for him? What was so urgent, so evil, so wrong that would necessitate the death of a beautiful animal? Besides, doesn't this harm the climate? So Cain improvised. He brought the first of his crops to the alter as a sacrifice. When Jesus Christ came down to the alter, he found Cain's unacceptable. Cain's disagreement with God went from disagreement, to depression, to hatred, to murder. The man who would not shed the blood of an animal for the forgiveness of his sins, went off and shed the blood of his brother. The entire world has gone the "way of Cain". The ever-religious Western World will go through hell and high water to stop Globull Climate Change, ban trans fats, ban sugar sodas, or stop smoking, but will not lift a finger to stop the Islamic Colonization, or infanticide, baby part sales, homosexuality, etc. Judgment is coming on the entire world because of these sins. What will happen Cain, and those who follow his way?

Jude 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. 12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds [they are] without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead , plucked up by the roots; 13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. 14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying , Behold , the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, 15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed , and of all their hard [speeches] which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

What happens when they run out of insects? That will throw off the ecosystem because those insects are what keeps the soil good for crops.

In other words, eating insects causes global warming.

Oh Please. Spare us.

Humans are mammals, they eat meat. It’s an omnivore thing. It’s an advantage in evolution. Do we need some spiritual expiation of our guilt for killing Bambi?

No. Just the way we are, like sharks.

The Swedes are just idiots. Suicidal idiots who are in the process of killing themselves.

Let them. Evolution is hard on idiots.

So wrong. The insects have a place in the ecosphere that is most important, and the idea of eating insects makes me puke.

On Austin’s Craiglist there is right now an 11/hr job as ‘Awesome Cricket Farmer’. Not for bait, or snake/reptile food or even poultry supplements.... organic for human consumption. They actually built a cricket (and other bugs) ranch in Creedmore. Aspire Foods Intl.

"climate friendly source of protein"

"Other enticing offerings not involving insects include “climate-fungal protein”, a “healthy vegetarian barbecue” made from by-products” and “fibrous raw materials”, and a “blue cheese-like product” made from beans"

How Soylent of them. And now that the government is into regulating methane, we'll get to hear a lot more about..."other sources of protein."

Yes, the Swedes are idiots, but so are you if you believe in the evolution. The laws of Conservation of Energy and Thermodynamics are against you and laugh at you.
