I’m old fashioned. I throw away any food that gets insects in it

Tons of protein in insect flour and your taste buds none the wiser.

This could be a huge step towards treating world malnutrition if people could get past the “ick” factor.

I didn’t climb to the top of the food chain to eat bugs.

Will they publish an article when said cricket bread proves to be a commercial flop?

The wheat with bugs in it gets fed to the chickens.

I eat the eggs and, later on, the chickens.

Ick factor avoided and a lack of crop eating disease spreading bugs around my house.

If it tastes good and is cheaper than my whole wheat bread I bake at home, I will buy it.

The ingredients for my whole wheat bread cost me about 50 cents. I can also buy good whole wheat in the store for $1.50. I do not think the “bug bread” will be a success.

Why are you accepting the globalists' premise?

Insects for food are for the masses. They are pushing this anti-meat campaign and conditioning folks that eating bugs is better for the environment.

Are the elites going to join in and eat bugs too?

No, they're not. They're going to continue to eat caviar, wine, steaks, and the finest Kobe beef.

The people in Africa that are hungry and malnourished are that way because of despotic corruption.

Lords of Poverty(Graham Hancock) is a startling read. As an example, a charity has a shipment of water/food/medicine dropped at location. The neighborly warlord arrives. After allowing the charity(on their request) to finish taking guilt-you-to-donate photos of feeding a starving child, the warlord takes it all for his army.

Next think you know, they’ll be trying to get me to drink beer that’s had little critters swimming around pissing in it. I ain’t falling for it.

I don’t care what kind of fancy name you call them, it still sounds disgusting.

If you want me to swallow a bug, you have to soak it in water its entire life. (Lobster, crab, shrimp, crayfish = yes, cricket, roach, centipede = no).

I have hosed grasshoppers off my car’s grill with radiator water, shaking up a bottle of Coca Cola (the squatty green ones that cost a nickle), spraying them first to loosen them up if they were a baked-on mess.

I can truthfully say that never once did anyone say, “Let’s eat those bugs,” though occasionally someone would comment, “It took a lot of guts to do that!” if a really juicy hopper hit the windshield, and we laughed like it was the first time we heard it because we all remembered the first time we said it.
They’re bait, not food.

The damned legs tickle your throat on the way down.

They’ve got to breed a legless cricket just for baking.
