Glenn told us we were going to eat bugs, and here we are...
If you live anywhere between Texarkana and Chicago, you have likely already seen—or heard—about the 2024 cicada superbrood. This Biblical-scale insect invasion is the result of two cicada broods, Brood XIII and Brood XIX, emerging simultaneously. The last time something like this happened was in 1803. Trillions of cicadas will swarm out of the earth and fill the trees with a chorus of deafening buzzing. It didn't take long for the leftist elites to hop on this opportunity to push Klaus Schwab's dream: "eat the bugs."
The New York Times cooking column published a piece trying to entice their readers to eat what they called the "lobsters of the trees." One person in the article suggested grinding the bugs into a powder to garnish the rim of a drinking glass. This all might sound very appetizing to lizards, but to people... not so much.
But what do you think? Does a cicada sound like a tasty snack? Have you ever eaten a bug? Is all this hype around cicadas part of Klaus Schwab's plan, or just seasonal hype?

We probably eat a lot of I sects, or parts of insects in the food we consume- but yeah, a dish of cicadas or June bugs or grasshoppers is a huge “Nope!” For me too
Being at “ the top of the food chain” is really just relative to your location.
On the plains of the Serengeti you would be near the bottom............
Officer to man shooting loons on a lake “hey man, you can’t shoot those, they are endangered”
Man “sorry officer, I have been living off grid and didn’t realize that”
Officer “well, don’t do it again... oh, and BTW, what do they taste like?”
Man “meh, not bad, but not nearly as delicious as spotted owl”
It has been reported that he got saved near the end of his short life
It began back when Bobby Kennedy was murdered by a Palestinian Immigrant. Of all the things the news media blamed for it, one was that boys were too violent because of being masculine. So it was proposed boys in schools would be given drugs to make them more feminine and less prone to violence.
Glad I graduated years before that nonsense started.
...and you'll like it.
You are not alone. We don’t need to eat bugs and I will not eat bugs.
When I was a kid, we collected bags of those shells. I have no idea why but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
And then in 1975, two women tried to kill President Ford.
Pass the Tabasco, please..................
Squeaky Fromme? Manson gal.
I forgot her name. Squeaky was easy to remember.
No big deal. Thanks.
I never do anything like that./S Lol
When the last cicada deluge occurred a clown in Cincinnati ate several handfuls of the insects and died.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: Nooooooooooooooo……..
Even without taste.
Funny how insects are animals, but you don’t hear the PETA folks complaining about eating bugs.
I am raising a steer named Cicada what will be ready for slaughter in about 60 days. I am looking forward to chowing down on Cicada.
