Michigan pediatrician weighs in, noting benefits but advising caution regarding insects on the menu

One Canadian mom is touting the benefits of consuming bugs. She's even raising her baby on a diet that includes crickets.

"I'm a food writer and will try anything at least once, including eating bugs," freelance writer Tiffany Leigh wrote recently.

"I started adding insects to our meals to cut down our grocery bill," she also wrote for Insider, adding, "Crickets are a cheaper alternative to meat, and my 18-month-old couldn't tell the difference." In emailed comments to Fox News Digital, Leigh said that "surprisingly," it wasn’t hard to "feed my baby crickets."

Gross. Crickets smell like dirty socks… I assume they taste bad too.

Not to mention they are filled with a snot-like substance.

I don’t have any problem with them eating bugs or whatever. But what I see happening is the opening entre to force bugs into my diet, whether I want them on not.

And then when bug eating is ubiquitous in 30 years, they will decide that bug eating is somehow bad for the environment or whatever the totalitarian cause de jour is and they will begin to mandate something even more disgusting.

Today, EV’s are the bees knees. When greta is 70 years old, though, she will be producing tik tok videos telling us that EV’s suck and that all the unimportant people just all have to stay at home in our 500 square foot units that we share with another family, while she and HRC’s grandkids and Mitt Romney’s grandkids drive the Ferraris of the future and fly the gulf streams of the future to their important stuff.

Here’s the rule. Anytime something starts to work, the totalitarian left will find a reason to rubbish it and force something else on us that is more expensive and does not work very well.

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

Just like sushi, I can’t eat something that I’ve used a bait when fishing.

The Lear jet leftists expect to form the core of the global Inner Party. There they will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer....while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Outer Party. You will be allowed air conditioning on a rationed basis.........and occasional servings of meat.

The rest of us will swelter and eat insects.

For the good of the planet.

It started in Europe, and made it’s way around to North America. A pandemic of stupidity.

Whether it’s the climate change hoax or the next Rona hoax, the ptb will attempt to control your behavior.

Controlling the food, water and petrolatum will control the population.

You will own nothing, eat insects and be happy.

Bloat.

[Crickets are the most popular. The production cost is around 80 baht per kilo in the winter season and they sell for 100 to 120 baht per kilo ($1.36 to $1.63 per pound). In the summer season, the production cost is closer to 50 baht per kilo and sell for around 70 to 80 baht.]


Cheaper than meat? I guess if her definition excludes chicken.

I bet that kid’s turds has all sorts of prickly things poking out of it. “Momma, no more bugs. I got itchy booty. Pass the Desenex.”

So did ConservaTeen when he was 2, by 3, he loved medium-rare steak. 🤓 Not newsworthy.
