In many parts of the world, entomophagy, or eating bugs is commonplace. Insects are actually the most abundant protein source on the planet, and many of them boast dense concentrations of nutrients like omega 3s. If two billion people can invite insects to the dinner table, it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for you to include edible bugs in your emergency-survival diet

Unless one develops a pretty effective means of catching pr farming them, I would suspect it would be pretty easy to burn more energy catching some bugs than would be gained by eating them.

If I can’t get a good sized steak out of it I don’t want it

This is why there are areas in the world with a 30 year lifespan.

That just blew their respectability out the window.

I used to build QT’s. Thay have sturdy lampposts. This piece of Eurotrash deserves it. Kinda like mussolini.

It’s being listed as grillon in the ingredients label.

>> In many parts of the world, entomophagy, or eating bugs is commonplace. <<

In many parts of the world, drinking diarrhea-contaminated shitwater is so prevalent that diarrhea is the leading cause of death worldwide.

>> Insects are actually the most abundant protein source on the planet, and many of them boast dense concentrations of nutrients like omega 3s. <<

There is a very real reason why humans are repulsed by bugs. It’s an evolutionary defense against expending energy to collect food that contains WAY less energy than it seems to have. (Humans are bad at judging the real mass of small objects.)

>> If two billion people can invite insects to the dinner table, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch for you to include edible bugs in your emergency-survival diet <<

If six billion people won’t touch bugs, even people from warmer climates where bugs are larger, even people from destitutely poor nations, why should you?

I foresee an insect shortage that will lead to the death of GAIA.

Would you like your bugs squishy or crunchy?

I don't know of any insects that walk on 4 legs. I think six is the number that qualifies an insect as...well...an insect.

Plus, Katydids and grasshoppers both have six.

Of course, as we all know...Katy lied. Donald Fagan told me so.

Agreed it’s nothing new and agree that it’s become a hot topic, at least among those who think their job is to manufacture hot topics out of thin air. Unconsciously, or maybe consciously, they think that the coming man-caused worldwide food shortages will finally get us imbeciles to warm to the idea

The elite want us to live in caves lit by candles while eating bugs. They of course will continue to live in mansions and dine on filet mignon.

That is why they have to rid the world of private guns. Question - will the masses of guards who will be allowed guns to keep the rest of us under control eat meat or bugs? Normally grunts are regarded as proles.
