Open Your Mind, and Your Mouth

You might think of eating insects as something kids do on a dare. But some of these little animals are popular around the world for their nutritional value -- and they’re starting to catch on in the U.S. Not long ago, sushi and lobster didn’t seem all that appetizing to Americans, so it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds.

Biblical diet laws are contained in the Old Testament I would probably follow those if I wish to eat insects there are a few which I mentioned. One thing you have to do is cook them thoroughly because they do have parasites in their gut.

I’m not eating scavenger meat either. I know a lot of people do eat scavenger meat, but I’m not one of them.

” I will stick to ocean bugs like shrimp and lobster.”

Don’t forget their tasty freshwater cousins in Louisiana! It’s mudbug season in these parts sadly the drought conditions in the delta swamp has made them expensive like $15lb expensive for decent sized ones.

That said chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers are quite good. So are locusts fried and dusted with harisa powder they are called deserts shrimp for a reason. There is no less than 5 places in Austin I can think of selling chapulines for $5+ per street sized taco think two bites each. They sell out every day people line up for them.

Yeah, no doubt Austin people line up for that sh!t. It’s so cool to be cool and edgy.

Please, enjoy my ration of bugs with my blessing!

I’ll be eating boring old typical meat. You know, the things men have been eating BY CHOICE for millenia.

“We are considered livestock by these people.”

No livestock have a propose and a useful product when harvested. The vast majority of the rabble is considered useless eaters there is an important difference. What useful product does billions of dirt poor subsistence farmers or welfare recipients produce?? There is your answer.

Make sure you eat the right kind of bugs when you crave a bug.

.

21 However, you may eat the following kinds of flying insects that walk on all fours: those having jointed legs above their feet for hopping on the ground. 22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. 23All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you

…22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket, or grasshopper. 23All other flying insects that have four legs are detestable to you. 24These creatures will make you unclean.

Wait, what? ALL flying insects are detestable to me! Hope I’m not breaking that OT law!

>> 24These creatures will make you unclean.

Well, there me and the writer of Leviticus (Moses?) disagree. Eating ANY bugs AT ALL will make my digestive tract violently “clean” in a hurry, out of BOTH ends. If you know what I mean (and I think you do).

Humans have eaten all forms of protein for tens of thousands of years. Imagine being the first to eat an oyster or a crab of any species. It’s cultural differences nothing else. Don’t like bugs don’t eat them. Lobsters are bugs in the biological sense so are crabs decapods are all bugs, the arthropods are only two legs away and are less than .25% by DNA shrimp are closer to spiders than crabs by DNA.

I am an accomplished world traveler and have eaten virtually every form of protein that won’t kill a human and some that can if not prepared right. I am not scared to push boundaries it’s part of what makes life an adventure.

It’s all fear porn no one is forcing bugs for people who don’t want to try them. Scream to the sky about the evil billionaires but it’s all media hype. I would love to see a documented proven case where people.were forced to eat bugs while being denied the purchase of other protein including vegetable proteins. If you can’t afford anything but bugs on a stick in Thailand that’s not the WEF global overlords at work that’s just poverty in a poor country where bugs are complete protein at a fraction of the cost of pork or chicken.

Those tacos in Austin are excellent they are crunchy and taste like deep fried shrimp or other shellfish why because they are 99.xx% identical to crab or shrimp.

>> Humans have eaten all forms of protein for tens of thousands of years... It’s cultural differences nothing else.

How do you know that, exactly? Recorded history spans about six thousand years; during that period, humans may have eaten whatever was available when desperate, but historical records show that the *preferential* protein source was MEAT. From the kinds of animals we still eat today.

>> I am an accomplished world traveler and have eaten virtually every form of protein that won’t kill a human and some that can if not prepared right. I am not scared to push boundaries it’s part of what makes life an adventure.

What is your definition of “accomplished world traveler”? I have been around the block myself. Have eaten many things in many countries, and I am known as that guy who eats weird stuff. And yes, fugu in Japan and it didn’t kill me. BUT NEVER! Never have I encountered a country that PREFERS insect protein over other sources. Have you? If so, where?(Besides Austin, a weird place if ever there was one.)

>> no one is forcing bugs for people who don’t want to try them... I would love to see a documented proven case where people were forced to eat bugs while being denied the purchase of other protein including vegetable proteins.

Straw man. Yet any sentient being paying attention knows damn well that that is the way the WEF is heading. By their own admission.

>> Those tacos in Austin are excellent they are crunchy and taste like deep fried shrimp or other shellfish why because they are 99.xx% identical to crab or shrimp.

Like I said, you are welcome to my ration. I’ll be eating beef, lamb, chicken, and fish.

Polymath... somewhat of an arrogant title you have assigned yourself. It’ll be interesting to see if you can support it.

I imagine at some point the government will start providing incentives, pay for advertising, etc. to push the sales of eating bugs.

Of course they do the same with dairy and other products.

Not that I plan to eat any bugs, but we eat shell fish, which are sea bugs.
