Even though the "UN" is one of the most useless things in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE....It's still a great source of humor.

>>By 2050, world population is slated to reach 9 billion, arable land is shrinking due to climate change<<

And yet when we produce perfectly safe genetically altered food that can produce yields far in excess of need, the un lets millions die.

Yes, un — go eat worms.

[Tea Party Terrorist]

You first, elitist UN bureaucrats.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Bugs are actually an important part of the diets of many aboriginal cultures. Healthy, too. Didn’t John the Baptist eat locusts? I suppose it takes a bit of getting used to, however.

[corlorde]

insects could become a staple of the human diet, along with fish, AND OTHER KINDS OF MEAT, a new UN report argues.

Oh my god, the aUN is advocating we eat one another! You read it hsre first, the one world government knows it is just a matter of time before us simpletons start resorting to cannibalism. Damn you global warming, damn you. Wait, what? :p

[JimRed]

...arable land is shrinking due to climate change...

Stop sign at that phrase, as in "STOP READING THIS BS...

[Farmer Dean]

One roach burger,hold the larva.

[a fool in paradise]

Start with the UN kitchen. No dining expense accounts.

LET THEM EAT BUGS!

[onedoug]

Not kosher.

[Straight Vermonter]

I remember this same nonsense in the 1970s. Of course then it was because we were losing arable land due to the cooling temps.

[Mastador1]

The U.N. wants us to eat bugs, eh? Well at least that seems to be an improvement over the sh*t they usually feed us.

My second real job was at Hudson’s candy counter at Genessee Valley mall in Flint, Michigan. We sold chocolate-covered crickets, grasshoppers and ants. The entire time I was there none of the boxes moved off the shelf. I dusted them regularly.

[samtheman]

Soylent Maggot.

Yum, yum.

But let’s be generous and let UN officials demonstrate this new life-style themselves. Let them be the first to have a steady diet of grilled maggots. Or would that be encouraging cannibalism?

[samtheman]

US out of UN. UN out of US.

[SamAdams76]

It is only a function of our culture that the consumption of insects is considered disgusting. Also, what we consider a delicacy in the U.S. would be considered disgusting in a different culture. Pork, shellfish (i.e. lobster) and veal are good examples of this.

Otherwise, insects are perfectly fit for human consumption and probably quite nutritious as well.

[fso301]

People already eat bugs in the form of lobster, crabs, clams, crawfish, etc, etc.

[Don W]

This nonsense has been pushed by the enviro-nuts since the ‘70’s or even earlier.

I remember various presentations at school, and movies like “The Hellstrom Chronicles” being all de riguer.

SSDD, just a new crop of fools to indoctrinate.

[dfwgator]

[BlackAdderess]

You farm anything in sufficient numbers and it will impact the environment, I mean seriously people, locusts... what could go wrong?! Cue Timon and Pumbaa solo.

[Red in Blue PA]

No doubt the people at the UN will be eating steak and lobster though.
