The future of food is definitely at stake, and uber wealthy “philanthropists” influence food systems in concerning ways.
Let us be clear—consuming insect-based foods comes with potential health risks. These risks are primarily related to food safety and the presence of allergens or toxins in some insects.
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) highlighted several food safety issues associated with edible insects, including:
Pathogens. Insects can harbor bacteria, viruses, and parasites, which can risk human health if not properly handled or cooked.
Allergens. Some insects contain allergens that can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Toxins. Certain insects may contain toxins that can be harmful if consumed in large amounts.
Insects can contain allergens that may trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. These reactions can range from mild to severe, depending on the individual’s sensitivity and the amount of insect consumed. Allergic reactions can manifest as skin rashes, itching, swelling, and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis, which requires immediate medical attention.
Moreover, some insects are known to contain toxins that can be harmful to human health. These toxins can affect various systems in the body, including the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. Symptoms of toxin exposure can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in severe cases, coma or death.
Now, enter billionaires with sinister motives. At the forefront is none other than Bill Gates, who relentlessly plots to manipulate the world’s food supply, pushing for the consumption of insects and alternative “proteins” while buying large amounts of American farmland.
Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a prominent figure in the so-called philanthropic sector, advocates for a diet of insects and, through his foundation and investments, works towards a future where traditional livestock is replaced by insect-based foods. All these can be traced back to Gates’s foundation’s investments

They sure do want people to eat the bugs. I wonder why. Do they have a bet with each other about who can convince people to do it?
Arthropod proteins, like those found in crustaceans and insects is not as digestible and the proteins found in animal meats, which can result in allergic reactions to less healthy people and tummy aches to the rest of us.
it’s already a lot worse than this. try having your favorite green leafy vegetable used as an mrna vaccine delivery system. no jab necessary.
One dollar!
Grow your own! Raise your own! Hunt & Fish your own - while it’s still legal. ;)
Visit ‘The Garden Thread’ to get started. We’re here to help! It’s a Monthly thread, but you’ll get pinged every Saturday morning-ish - after I’ve had my coffee. ;)

There IS a ‘learning curve’ to raising veggies, but it’s not that steep! If you don’t have room for a garden, a patio pot or two will do. Herbs are easy to grow and so delightful, and you’ll be miles ahead of the next guy when push comes to shove from Mother Government. ;)
The answer to eating ze bugs is easy…feed them to fish, then eat the fish.
But that isn’t sufficiently humiliating for the “little people of flyover country.”
I eat grass. Grass -> cow -> steak -> me
Well, the Father of Windows would certainly know all about bugs.
The billionaires want the rest of us to eat bugs.
They do realize the rest of us see them as parasites, right?
This assault on food production and supplies is war against every human being. War requires an appropriate response. And I’ll just leave it at that.
The biggest genocide in human history, bigger than all the other put together, is being prepared.
I’m still trying to figure out myself the rationale behind the push to feed us bugs.
The only thing I can come up with so far is to compromise our health.
I’ll take my insects processed only through a chicken or turkey first, thankyouverymuch.
When you grow your own, you know what’s in it.
One of the keys, though, is to buy heirloom type plants and learn to save the seeds.
GOD did NOT put BUGS on this earth for us to eat.....HE gave us COWS and Chickens and Pigs!!
If God did not intend for us to eat cows, chickens and pigs, he would not have made them of meat.
I’d like to see a company try to sell insects as dog food. No one would buy it.
Don’t count on that opinion it’s not based in fact. Hills science diet that every veterinarian sells make insect based dog food it’s high end Gucci expensive veterinary prescribed food. It’s especially for sensitive stomachs at that.

Having watched my beagles chase ,hunt and chow down on every bug the buzzes inside the fenced yard portion of the property. they wouldn’t even blink at chowing down on this food except it’s like $4+ lb. They also eat any lizard, bird, rabbit, and squirrel they can corner and attack as a pack. Don’t let their cute exterior fool you a pack of beagles are miniature wolves. The sport is Beagling and they excel at it find a rabbit burrow flush the rabbit out and drive it towards the hunters who shoot it with the beagles in chase. First rule of Beagling is don’t shoot the beagles, the second rule of Beagling is don’t shoot the beagles. There are no other rules.
Dogs, cats ,pigs, chickens don’t care about insect protein they all eat it naturally of their own free will. Its human emotion and transference that is at play when someone says oh I won’t feed my pet that. I have watched dogs eat each other’s poop with great pleasure the cats tpo. If anyone thinks they care about bugs they have their own mental issues seek counseling.
“GOD did NOT put BUGS on this earth for us to eat.....HE gave us COWS and Chickens and Pigs!!”
God put everything on this planet for our use. Jesus in the New Testament struck down all Old Testament dietary laws. John the Baptist was given locusts to survive by God himself. That’s pretty convincing evidence that bugs are in his grand plan. Most of the Asian cultures and African as well eat some form of insect protein regularly. One trip to Thailand or Vietnam will show the absolute wide breadth of insects consumed. Huge rice paddie bugs on skewers were all over Vietnam markets chargrilled over open coals they taste like a mix of shrimp and crawfish. Scorpions are also every where in Asia. So are a whole slew of caterpillars and worms.
I can always tell when people are not well traveled when they don’t know those facts. Latin America also has a slew of insect based foods some are high end cuisine. There’s a number of food trucks and taco joints in Austin selling grasshopper tacos for $5+ each they are always sold out too.
