The New York Times Opinion section is pushing for everybody to become insectivores in order to join the militant woke crusade against climate change.

The video, headlined “The Joy of Cooking (Insects),” pontificated how “Climate-conscious cooking means getting creative” — with bugs. The description for the video by Opinion Video Deputy Director Jonah Kessel, Opinion visuals journalist Tala Schlossberg and Times correspondent Kirk Semple promoted eating bugs as some sort of solution to protect Gaia: “[A]s we explore in the Opinion Video above, a growing tribe of environmentalists, academics and entrepreneurs are arguing that edible insects must enjoy a wider acceptance to help create a more sustainable global food system and save the planet.” It continued: "[U]nless we make major adjustments to the food we eat and how we produce it, we're cooked."

Artic ice borings going back over a MILLION years show "climate change" happening continually.... temps up and down, up and down, up and down...... for thousands of centuries.

Which one of the earth's climate changes are we going to fight???

But people have been eating crickets for food for centuries. Chapulines from the Oxaxaca region of Mexico and Inago no Tsukudani from the interior regions of Japan are pretty well-known.

As far as these commies are concerned they are what they eat. They’re maggots.

I guess when food is not plentiful, you’ll eat anything.

My ancestors probably lived on a mostly meat/carnivorous diet. Not much plant food around when there is a couple of feet of snow and ice on ground. Crickets probably don’t do well in the cold either.

Those environmentalists, academics, and entrepreneurs are welcome to all the bugs they want. Me? No thank you.

Abdomens swollen with honey. On a food show they bit the abdomen and spit out the ant.

Bugs should be considered a delicacy reserved only for the ultra rich.
