“‘Eat bugs, live in a pod,’ is not a meme. It’s their real agenda,” tweeted the conservative provocateur Mike Cernovich to 1.1 million followers last month. The tweet was responding to an anodyne Economist story about the role of meat consumption in global climate emissions. And unless you’re deep into online culture, it’s probably incomprehensible.
Conservatives’ darker fantasies aren’t just about threats to a dietary staple but about threats to the liberty, bodily integrity, and masculinity of American men.

Just some weird decoration ... pay it no mind.
eff the authors.
Nobody is “afraid” of men eating bugs.
We just think they are idiots, easily led sheeple, and beta males.
Anyone can eat anything they want. Just count me out.
Stop that, your making me hungry.
Same. Love ‘em both, always have. Dinner last night was cabbage with potatoes. A little vinegar, a little salt and pepper, and I’m happy. TONIGHT, however, I shall devour a thick T-bone steak, and enjoy it, too. These people are lunatics, with all the intellectual horsepower of my cat.
Since I started the Keto diet, I actually eat a lot more vegetables than I used to, I just eat a lot of meat with it.
Call Any Vegetable

Now, the New Republic is a whole 'nother story entirely.
We’re not afraid; we just think more protein is preferable. Yes, beans have protein, and I like red beans (esp. in red beans and rice, with pickled pork and sausage). But, protein is king, and meats (from animals and fish) are the way to go. Just my opinion.
Yea, if that was all you could get your hands on to survive it's one thing. It seems our ancestors of old determined that such a diet was not desirable and sought better options.
Now such wisdom is rejected by our newly enlightened and ever so intelligent new generation has come along. History only started when they were born.
Our ancestors of old are amused. Via la cucarachas.
They always have to be in everyone else's business. Time we start getting in their business and see how they like it.
From the bottom of the article:
Jan Dutkiewicz is an assistant professor of political science at the Pratt Institute.
Gabriel N. Rosenberg teaches at Duke University and is the Duke Endowment Fellow of the National Humanities Center.
BTW, the article is from April 2023.
As their “men” are growing boobs and ingesting chemicals, additives, colorings, all sorts of weird crap to try to reinvent meat, we will all stick with meat.
I like my meat made out of 1 ingredient: meat.
Everyone is a vegetarian. Some eat just vegetables, others eat the animals that ate vegetables.
I’m on Warfarin. Greens mess up my INR readings bad. I’ll stick with meat. At 77 I still have all my teeth and can still chow down on a steak or fried chicken with no problems.
Save the green veggies for the faint hearts.
They often run in herds, and many are expendable.
Parsley snd thyme(?). That’s two veggies, right there.
A friend makes “Scarborough Chicken”: spiced with parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme, then grilled.
