You know how they've been trying to get us to eat bugs instead of meat? Yeah, about that...

Yes, it's true, the "globalist elites" have been literally trying to force larva down our throats. They love the idea of us feasting on crickets and cockroach milk instead of normal, healthy food.

Alas, even the influence of Big Bug hasn't been enough to convince people to buy mealworm meatballs.

Now all the bug factories are closing up! As Vox exclusively reported, "plans to build a large insect farm in Nebraska — a joint project between Tyson Foods, America's largest meat company, and Protix, now the world's second largest insect farming company — are indefinitely on hold."

“the ethical implications of potentially farming tens of trillions of bugs for food”

But, but, but cow farts! What about trillions of cricket farts. And don’t tell me they don’t. I’ve heard that claim.

I finally found the fake meat in the very small “vegan” section in an obscure part of the store.

Hey, Tyson FOODS? If you want to waste your money and professional capitol with the Everyday Consumer, but still do something bug-related, why not:

Invent a Better Worm Composting Bin

Raise Honeybees

Grow Maggots for Fishing Bait

A Night Crawler Farm, also for fish bait

Or, just feed the bugs to your chickens and shut up about it!

To hell with those vindictive “eat the bugs” despots. I sincerely enjoy watching their businesses crater.

I’ve eaten a few bugs, but that’s because I don’t always wear a helmet when I’m out motorbiking.

I would not put it past them [Tyson] to pull a trick like that. In fact, if I were betting on whether or they [Tyson] would do it or not do it [mis bugs with their meat] My money would be on them doing it. If I see the Word “Tyson” on anything I do not purchase it. They are just low enough to do something like that.

Why I always had a windshield on my scooters.

Even that didn’t help when a bee flew up my short sleeve shirt at 60 mph......that was the fastest I ever came to a stop. 😂

I can see why. I remember how bad it was down there every year during love-bug season.

We should always be prepared for harsh times, especially those that are artificially induced by tyrants and despots. The food “shortages” will end when these people are ended. God’s Earth can provide for and support hundreds of billions more humans than exist today, even in this fallen state. Anyone telling you differently is a liar.

“Article says activists don’t want to eat bugs, because ‘evidence suggests’ bugs have consciousness. So, they’re now pro-life?”

What if the bug is pregnant when they eat it? I guess it’s just a fetus. So they can just chow down!

As a survival technique...sure. But we're not quite there yet.

However, as a staple/mainstay? Em...no thanks.

Tyson should simply switch from trying to feed bugs to people to feeding them to their chickens. So much healthier than the GMO soy crap they’re fed! And it goes without saying that chickens are far fonder of bugs than we humans are.

After you had digested those Cricket Tacos, did you happen to hear some faint “chirping” noises coming from your belly?
Not that it would really be probable.

Tyson is a turn off. Even when they try and self identify as high end with a trendy name for a product line such as Tyson® Air Chilled Chicken Breasts I am not tempted. I switched to Bell Evans.
