This bug eating push is nothing new. I remember over 50 years ago when Bob Barker was offering money to contestants on "Truth or Consequences", to eat chocolate covered ants and candied grasshoppers.

No worries! Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab has whole bug producing factories for us to eat. We’re gooood.

[Drew68]

God approves.

Leviticus 11:20-23
“All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean."

Still, I'm not going to eat bugs.

My take on this and my interest in this is limited to: If the SHTF, I’d like to know what bugs to eat to save my life.

That’s about it.

Eating bugs may be nothing new, but its suddenly a very hot topic.

[Restless]

Bug Lives Matter.

Yes, chocolate drenched grasshoppers were a fad in the early 70’s.

Rocks are a good source of minerals.

[CodeToad]

More gaslighting that they want to stop meat production.

[dfwgator]

Well, guess I’m not gonna make it.

This is the same woke stupid ass publication that rails against backpacking with knives, hatchets, camp axes and small sawa. Because Erf or something.

Everything that lives is edible, if you’re desperate enough.

That’s how you get Chinese food.

[JBW1949]

No bugs for me...

[Joe 6-pack]

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.

Send them to the crazy Bill Gates for his dinner.

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

[Mr. K]

I’d like to farm crickets to feed to my chickens

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

That just blew their respectability out the window.

>> 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?

[birdsman]

But are bugs ok for a vegan?
