Just a fancy name for MAGGOTS.

Reminds me of Euell Gibbons books.
But then I also have rabbits, tree rats(squirrels) deer, and may have to go back to raising my own chickens again.

Go for It. Lets have a scientific experiment on you with mealworms and get back to us in 75 years.

Gagh. Connoisseurs of Klingon cuisine claim that gagh is best served very fresh.

Covid isn’t doing its job. Mealworms and other disgusting things will be used to get you numbered or hopefully dead, one way or another. It’s the commie way!

Methinks the troll doth protest WAY too much.

Sod off, swampy, as the saying goes.

AGW — the rationale for this — is a lie.

You didn’t even read the article as is typical here. This js about animal feed. Some cultures chose to eat insects. Crabs and lobsters are insects as well. I have travelled amd worked on six of seven continents Antarctica being the only one not set foot on. Locusts im Africa taste just like shrimp in Mexico both prepared in nearly identical ways. But why get all worked up just feed these super bugs to chickens and fish like the article points out then eat the fried chicken goodness or blacken the fish with a crab brown butter sauce like they do in Cajun country. Nowhere in this company’s presser did they say force people to eat our meal worms exactly the opposite they point out that using a waste product to grow in high density complete protein for animal feeds is the future. That and single celled microbial proteins. There simply is not enough land and grain to feed animals to let the world of 8 billion have meat consumption levels of the West we would meed four earths in resources so when not if the fast growing global middle class demands meats at anywhere near western consumption levels you will.absolutely have to feed them with mass produced proteins from every source imaginable.

Here is some science try to comprehend it.

Piss up a rope did you even read the article its about animal feed. Its your type of ignorance that turns off the independent voters who want fiscal responsibility and limited government but don’t fall into the cult of everything is a mass conspiracy to force people to eat bugs and into fema camps. The world needs protein badly for feeds and to address the critical shortages of it in the developing world. India will bring aanother half billion people into the middle class in the next two decades they all will want to eat and most will want to drive as well. The planet is entering a period of severe resource shortages 8 billion cannot live at Western standards of living with the infrastructures presently used for food production or energy. Throwing a political hissy fit doesn’t change that fact. Fortunately scientists not rednecks are in charge. Go bacl read rhe actual article and look at where this company is selling and sending there production too. Its animal feed. Do you hyperventilate over the use of road kill in pet food? Or pig feeds? Because road kill is absolutely sent to the rendering plants to be turned into meat and bone meals which are used in both classes of feeds. Actual off the road picked up carcass roadkill gets sent to the rendering plants if its a fresh kill. Same for euthanized pets, and also downer aninals that were rejected from thr slaughter houses all end up in giant pressure cookers and reduced to oils plus meat and bone meals. This has been standard practice for decades only cows are not allowed to be feed M&B meal due to prions.

The bugs are processed into powders and oils used in pet food, fish and farm feeds, and textured tofulike “meats” for human consumption.


and there is your meatless meat.......................

Doubling down on lies won’t convince anyone.

“Two weeks to slow the spread.”

“Safe and effective.”

“There won’t be any mandates or lockdowns.”

“The bugs are just for animal feed.”

Get rekt, Karen.

Which makes it all the odder they're pushing both electric vehicles with kill switches and solar/ wind instead of Thorium reactors.

Go spew your propaganda elsewhere, troll.
