I remember when I first saw Beetleburgers on Ed Sullivan.
We should test these on Bill Gates, waterboarding-style.
Oh H*** NO!
Beetleboarding?
Send them to the starving parts of the world the West don’t need this stinking crap
In the Netherlands they are adding cricket dust to bread, everything.
Also Italy.
An Italian bakery plans to sell loaves of bread made with powder from processed crickets.
The news comes after the European Commission ruled last month that partially defatted and powdered house crickets (acheta domesticus) can be marketed and sold as ingredients in food in the EU. The powder is sometimes used as an additive to make the products richer with protein.

Tastes kinda like spotted owl.
In the words of President Trump: “Better you than me.”
Ok, so, aren’t Beetles technically “animals”? So what do the PETA folks think about this?
🐞🐌BUG-XIT: INSECTS set to be the latest ingredient on the market in the UK as creepy, crawley EU Commission approves “Acheta Domesticus”, also known as CRICKETS, to be used in supermarket food, following BEETLES and MEALWORMS as ingredients approved for consumption.
EU commission, in line with World Economic Forum, says bug eating “contributes positively to the environment and to health” as an “alternative protein source facilitating the shift towards healthy and sustainable diets.”
Hit that🤮 @IntelRepublic
I think the West absolutely needs this. We should help all Greens/environmentalists subsist only on this. We need to help them live their own truth.
Crushed Bug “Additive” Is Now Included In Pizza, Pasta, & Cereals Across The EU
A a food additive made out of powdered crickets began appearing in foods from pizza, to pasta to cereals across the European Union.
Yes, really.
Defatted house crickets are on the menu for Europeans across the continent, without the vast majority of them knowing it is now in their food.
“This comes thanks to a European Commission ruling passed earlier this month,” reports RT.
“As per the decision, which cited the scientific opinion of the European Food Safety Authority, the additive is safe to use in a whole range of products, including but not limited to cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder.”
Lovely stuff.
Join the EU/WEF and you will eat bugs and love them.
Here we are, allegedly at the zenith of thousands of years of civilization, and they are proposing that we eat worms and insects.
😲 From January 24, the European Commission will officially allow the use of home cricket powder in food - this powder can be found in bread, pizza, cookies and beer.
Before we shift to eating bugs to “help feed the world”, how about our government first quit paying farmers to keep land fallow. Evidently we can grow more food than we need.
Oddly I disagree. If they can make it taste like fat marbled strip sirloin, look like a strip sirloin, cook over my grill like a strip sirloin, and taste like a strip sirloin I will eat it if it is cheaper than a real strip sirloin. I tried a soy burger once and once only. I rather doubt I will be eating a bug based strip sirloin.
I ate roasted beetle grubs when visiting Thailand. I was prepared to be disgusted, but they were not bad. Better than fake tofu chicken in a vegetarian dimsum restaurant.
The not so random attacks on our food supply is designed to usher this crap in. Remember to get your vaxx booster.
Coming soon, roach tacos.
