Humans will eat maggot sausages as a meat alternative: scientists
N Y Post ^ | 05/01/2019 | Hannah Sparks

Food scientists at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia are incorporating insects such as maggots and locusts into a range of specialty foods, including sausage, as well as formulating sustainable insect-based feeds for the livestock themselves.

Hoffman says conventional livestock production will soon be unable to meet global demand for meat, so other fillers and alternatives will be needed to supplement the food supply with sufficient protein sources.

The Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) team is focusing on pleasing Western palates by disguising insects in pre-prepared foods, says Hoffman, as studies have shown they shy away from eating whole insects.

In 2013, a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations report urged global citizens to eat more insects, which, compared to conventional meats, are nutritious, cheaper to produce and more sustainable. Inspired by the report and other studies, several snack makers have marketed insect-based products in the US, including Chirps chips and Chapul protein bars.

Hoffman notes that while eating bugs might seem bonkers to Westerners, “for many millions of people around the world they are a familiar part of the diet.” He also calls for a “global reappraisal of what can constitute healthy, nutritional and safe food for all.”

United Nations urged global citizens to eat more insects

Not a "global citizen" fortunately.

The UN is a maggot, eating out the substance of every nation-especially the US—and giving nothing in return. Time to abolish this parasite.

I needed to refresh my memory on when livestock were first domesticated, so I checked with National Geographic:

About the same time they domesticated plants (10,000 years ago) people in Mesopotamia began to tame animals for meat, milk, and hides. Hides, or the skins of animals, were used for clothing, storage, and to build tent shelters.

In Mesopotamia. Ten-thousands years ago. And now they talk of making sausages with maggots. That's progress!

Various vegetables, tubers, & grains can be ground up & mushed into ground meats, to stretch them.

Housewives like me have been making meatloaf, hamburgers & spaghetti meatballs like this forever.

But hey, why not just let the meat rot, so we’ll have maggots to eat instead?

That’s the woke way.

Termites emit more methane than all other sources combined.

How much methane do maggots and locusts emit? The people promoting this should be flayed alive for callously attacking the climate in such a reckless manner.

So is the UN suggesting someone kill Pete Buttigieg and Eric Swalwell and cook them for global citizens to eat?

What? Oh, the UN said “m@ggots” not “f@ggots”? Can anyone explain the difference to me with respect to those POTUS wannabees?
