Ain’t that the Truth.

>>>> environmentalists say creepy crawlies like crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and more require less water, food, and space to grow....etc.

====================================================

But what they don't mention is that insects are also loaded with parasites!

No Herr Gates. I will not eat bugs.

[Cronos]

I would not eat them.

But we do eat lobsters and crabs, both of which are related to insects.

[Dragonspirit]

Liberals can go eat the bugs and worms. The rest of us will eat chicken and beef.

[stratboy]

Why do these idiot liberals think that we will automatically eat bugs if they glamorise it?

Let the Hollywood weirdos and political elites start eating them.

Remember when eating insects was considered a sign of mental illness?

It's all a matter of perspective. Some cultures consider the eating of crabs and lobsters as disgusting as our culture considers the eating of grasshoppers and crickets.

Now I don't want this forced down anybody's throats. If I ever eat grasshoppers, I want it to be my choice and I will season and cook them as I wish. That is, pan-fried in avocado oil with pepper, garlic and lemon.

IF you are hungry enough. I wont say I wouldnt eat them, hellfire, people already eat lots of them unknowingly. Have you ever let a sack of cornmeal sit too long, and little bugs flew out when you opened it?
I like to eat raw peanuts while I watch TV, but keep them too long and when you open the shell, there will be worms in there. They were there all along, they just hadnt matured enough for you to know it. Same thing with the bugs in cornmeal.

NOW, I wouldnt eat them unless I was very hungry and couldnt get anything else, in which case people would eat their pets, hair guts and fingernails!!

I like how you both think. :-)

[Pining_4_TX]

Eeeeeekk! I may have nightmares after seeing that.

When eating bugs, we eat the exoskeleton which has chitin. Chitin is a known carcinogen that also reduces the body’s ability to absorb some vitamins and may cause other ailments. They are trying to kill us.
