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."

I have had earthworms, ants, a scorpion, crickets, meal worms, and other insects or small creatures that aren’t coming to mind.

I have had a large number of unusual meats and eaten body parts not a part of the US diet.

I only stay away from brains and spinal cords of elk and cattle.

Everything else is basically fair game, so to speak.

I can’t stress it enough that people should try all these things. It will greatly help relax you for when a truly tough occasion, or time, comes upon you.

You might even find some enjoyable.

Don’t eat any garden slugs. They are full of parasites. One young man did on a dare and died within 24 hours due to the attack on his brain. Nothing could be done for him.

The elites are trying to create a feudalistic society.

Tied to the land = 15 minute cities.
They will eat steak while you eat gruel (bugs).
Instead of being kept ignorant by being unable to read, they will brainwash and misinform people so they are kept in the dark.
You will get to vote but it won’t mean anything, they will decide everything important.
You won’t get to choose your religion, they will do that for you via mass immigration and propaganda.

Probably other things, but that was just offhand.

I catch them in my teeth and then just pick them out when I stop. I carry dental floss in my saddle bags. Not really for bugs but because I can’t stand to be riding around with part of my lunch stuck between my teeth

If we took the bones out, it wouldn’t be crunchy, now would it?

All great reasons to have a relationship with Jesus.

Without a doubt THE best decision I have ever made.

And for anyone who doesn’t, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Eating insects is popular in 3rd world countries out of necessity..

I recently watched a Youtube video of some Asian girl going out in the woods collecting giant scorpions and centipedes and taking them to sell in an open market. Then I saw another that showed how to fry them up till they were real crunchy and spicey....

Tyson said repeatedly they were looking at insects for animal feed. What animals eat bugs that Tyson might be interested in...chickens

Chickens get down on bugs in nature it’s one of their primary food sources.

https://www.tysonfoods.com/news/news-releases/2023/10/tyson-foods-announces-partnership-protix-more-sustainable-protein

“Upon completion, it will be the first at-scale facility of its kind to upcycle food manufacturing byproducts into high-quality insect proteins and lipids which will primarily be used in the pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.”

So much Qtard paranoia.

There is plenty of places in Austin selling $8 tacos with grasshoppers in them a traditional Mexican dish. Not $8 for a plate of tacos PER TACO and they are small street taco sized they sell out every weekend. You can get ants and ant larvae too again very traditional central Mexican food.

Don’t even think about walking around a market in Thailand Vietnam or Korea.

5 minutes of watching any episode in Asia with Andrew Zimmern will show you hundreds of kind of bugs being sold. Doesn’t matter which one of his shows Bizarre Foods or not in Asia it’s just called food.

Bugs have their place in the food chain; chickens eat the bugs and we eat the chickens. Let’s keep it that way.

Sea roaches aka lobster are meat too.

Protein is protein.

I like letting my chickens turn fly larvae into eggs and Mesquite smoked quesadillas first for me though.

That said grasshoppers are good, so are ants and locusts too they don’t call them desert shrimp for nothing. Tarantula legs when fried have what tastes and looks like crab meat in them and so does the body meat. Given that shrimp and crabs and arthropods are less than 1% DNA away yeah to be expected.

The proper sequence is, cows ear grass they drop cow paddies , flys land on them , larvae hatch, you put chicken tractor over where the cows where 3 days before. Chickens eat larvae and a good portion of the patties too as they are 50% bacterial protein by dry mass. Move chickens who also left droppings. Move in the hogs who will ravenously devour both the Cow patties and chicken droppings and any remaining larvae, while rooting up looking for worms and roots and mixing all their droppings in the earth. Move them on and let the grass grow again. Bring cows back the circle is complete.

Growing up, they told us we'd be eating algae and seaweed by now ...

If it happens it happens (and in Japan, it's been happening for quite a while now)...
