Hey, whatever it takes.
Laced with vaccines.
They are not kosher.
If COVID doesn’t do it, maybe genetically engineered mealworms will.
Bugs. It’s what’s for dinner.
I’ll be glad to ... after I process them through my chickens.
Never again. Darn things keep falling through the grates right into charcoal.
Nope.
Count me out. I would and will starve first, but actually I wouldn’t because this world is chock full of food if one knows where to find it.
They’re going after the virtue signaling greenie Weenies thinking that eating bugs, plants and other shit will save the planet.
It’s a helluva good business model. You have a plentiful supply of lefties & mentally ill types (but, I repeat myself) who will pay $9.99/pound for something produced for $0.50/pound.
I raise these for my poultry. They are totally addicted to them. But I have friends who are sensitive to pesticides and the like. They don’t like my eggs if the birds are fed regular laying mash as it is made up of corn (sprayed to the hilt) and soybeans....also sprayed. So what do I feed the mealworms to that they don’t transmit the poi8sons to the eggs. Answer: microgreens from the towers and my hand raised vegetables with no spray.
Insects are upwards of 60% complete protein with all 9 essential amino acids that monogastric animals cannot live without and MUST injest them to survive. These animals include fish,chickens,hogs and yes people. Only ungulates with their miracle of evolutionary biology four chambered stomachs can synthesis proteins. It is not the cow or goat or sheep that does the synthesis it is the trillions of bacteria in the last three chambers of those amazing stomachs that convert cellulose,hemicellulose and nitrogen into proteins cows are literally a bacteria factory whose sole purpose is to eat grass grind it up heat it too 98 degrees and then let it’s symbiotic bacteria ferment it into what the cow actually lives on, acetic acid, and bacterial protein. Humans ,chickens and pigs cannot do this. They must get those 9 essential amino acids from ingestion be it insects,bacterial protein,yeast protein, flesh or synthetic proteins made with petrochemicals monogastrics must get it from outside their bodies.
People need to stop hyperventilating like little toddlers this technology is perfect for animal feeds, especially fish feed which must be 50+% complete protein in content. Chickens and pigs also will happily eat whatever you put in front of them. Take it easy Francis no one is going soilent green with bugs. Meal worms and black soldiers larvae both can be grown in mass on waste organics turning what would end up rotting in a landfill taking up space and limiting the life time of the place. Instead that material is turned into high quality and high value animal feed. Its only people with a need to scream political nonsense who push the OMG there going to make everyone eat bugs BS.
Fish have the highest feed conversion ratio of any vertebrates nearly one to one. Meaning for every one kilogram of feed you get 900 grams of meat from the fish. Chickens are nearly two to one, hogs uowards of 4 and cattle not on grass feed but grains is well over ten to one. Using insects to feed fish is the most efficient eay to convert organics to edible proteins chickens would be next best. Ducks and geese both can eat cellulose in limited amounts so they have very high feed to meat ratios if supplemented with green feeds.
Further proof that the masses are just another herd to the elites.
bugs are yummy
I’m not eating anything my chicken eats. 😆
***yellow mealworm beetle larvae***
Just a fancy name for MAGGOTS.
The wackos can’t wait to force us all to eat bugs.
The bugs are processed into powders and oils used in pet food, fish and farm feeds, and textured tofulike “meats” for human consumption.
