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

Hmm...
“But all other flying insects that have four legs ...”
Insects have six legs.
Most flies they got three legs
But mine got one
All the translations speak of insects with four legs.
Maybe the Bible considers the most forward legs to be arms? I dunno.
“This is the same woke stupid ass publication that rails against backpacking with knives, “

How To Survive Anything in the Woods With Only a Knife
Where there’s a blade, there’s a way.
It’s new in that the WEF and green freaks want to force citizens to eat bugs instead of meat.
> Question - will the masses of guards who will be allowed guns to keep the rest of us under control eat meat or bugs? <
Interesting question. It might make for a good novel. The leadership could be in a bit of a pickle there. Treat your guards too well and they get a sense of superiority. Then they might decide to take power themselves. That happened to quite a few Roman emperors.
But treat them too poorly and they might melt away when trouble comes. That happened to Tsar Nicholas II.
Everything with four legs except the table.
QT’s? Quantum Teleportation?
I’m not eating effing bugs.
No matter how much they push for it, its not going to happen. Beef. Its what’s for dinner.
“All fours” is an ancient idiom for “all legs on the ground”. As opposed to, for example, a Praying mantis.
Well, I guess I’m good, then. I unknowingly ate cricket legs (a delicacy!) in salad at a wedding feast in Cambodia. It was getting dark and I could not see them.
But I never sampled “Cambodian popcorn” — kids would run around catching those giant flying cockroaches, tear the legs off them, and when the pile of legless bugs got large enough, granny would fry them up for the kiddies.
Nor did I try the famous fried “bird spider” tarantulas in Skuon:

In neighboring Thailand, you can get scorpion-on-a-stick:

I used to smash a bunch of those black devils early every morning with my trusty broom. Gee, what was I thinking? I coulda had a free breakfast!
Eww. Looks like they left the legs on the giant cockroaches. How nasty. By the way, those things eat their dead. Yep. Cannibals. You smash one and more come out and together carry away the body — looks so weird, like cockroach pallbearers. They make big poops, for a bug, too, and stinky :(
Eating bugs has become an important gourmet issue. How lucky we are to have bug consumption experts in our midst to guide the American public for longer life.. Can’t wait to find a fat cockroach to BBQ. Thanks to the Dems, things are going to get better in bug consumption. Can’t wait to see a vid of demented Joe sit down to a White House press corps gourmet bug meal.
I’ve eaten lots of bugs of various kinds in survival training and on survival exercises. But, to choose to eat them as part of my daily diet just because some rich guy or government official tells me to or because of “climate change”, um no.
Well, I don’t bother to carry a hatchet when I go backpacking. Too much weight and not that useful. A folding saw, though, that’s as necessary as a good knife (or two).
Anywhere that’s so overrun with other people that the area’s being destroyed isn’t somewhere I’d be going anyway.
While we peons are virtually starving and waiting in line for our government ration of bugs, the elites will be dining on wagu beef.
I think the ingredient in some foods called Carmine is actually ground up beetles.
