We probably have those in the grocery stores now. Veggie burger my arse.
Check out all the new stuff in the freezer department. Who knows what else.
Grounded bug flour, organic of course.

Freezing out our farmers. Taking land over. Selling out our country.

If hunger; being a Primary Motivation, in the coming Famine gets that bad, cannibalism will rear its ugly head.

I suppose the other two are considered arms, as they are used for carrying things.

"All have their place on trail work days in the hands of trained volunteers and rangers. So if you want to chop something down, volunteer for your local trail maintenance crew and swing away. But when heading into the backcountry on your own, leave the heavy hitters at home."

A perfect example of the modern idiocracy. Instead of expecting people to know how to safely and properly use simple tools the elites want only the "trained" people to be allowed to use them.

And after an entire article reciting all the damage done by cutting trees, dead wood, and brush, the author praises the people who cut trees, remove dead wood, and cut brush to make the equivalents of sidewalks in the forest.

If things are so bad that I have to eat bugs to survive, I don’t want to survive.

I will only eat bugs if they are processed first.

Through a chicken or turkey.

When they really want people to do something they have the elites and celebs all do it, charge outrageous money to do it, then restrict the little people from doing it.

Just sayin.

This is the same woke stupid ass publication that rails against backpacking with knives,

Shoot. I don't even go into town without a knife.

And a gun.

And another gun.

And another knife.

They keep trying to make insect eating common. I wouldn’t be surprised if they introduced famine into the USA as a way of getting us to eat more bugs.

Preposterous? No more than introducing an engineered deadly virus into the population as a way of getting rid of a president that they hated.
