Take a Look Inside a Cricket Farm…Which Is Where Your Food Will Come From Soon
PJ Media ^ | August 17, 2022 | Athena Thorne

It’s astonishing how, by the time we normal folk first hear of a new Globalist Socialist initiative, it turns out there’s already a significant amount of infrastructure in place. Take eating bugs, for example. Did you know that there are currently sizable cricket farms in many parts of the world, including Canada and the United States? Or that cricket flour is already used in some foods?

For example, Entomo Farms in Canada currently produces a weekly harvest of 50 million crickets, which it mills into 9,000 pounds of “protein.” The owners plan to triple production within a year. Some of the “cricket flour” goes into pet foods, while some is added to foods made for human consumption. And some of the insects are used intact as seasoned snack foods. The cricket producer already sells its products under the brand name Actually Foods.

Won’t be if enraged citizens who refuse to be bug-eating slaves do something about the production facilities.

Does the article mention the parasites you can get from eating bugs?

Kids don’t want to eat venison or rabbit because of Bambi and Bugs Bunny. How are you going to get them to want to eat Jiminy Cricket?

A parasitological evaluation of edible insects and their role in the transmission of parasitic diseases to humans and animals (NIH article)

”In this context, the unfathomable issue is the role of edible insects in transmitting parasitic diseases that can cause significant losses in their breeding and may pose a threat to humans and animals.”

”The growing demand for easily digestible and nutritious foods has contributed to the emergence of new food sources in agricultural processing. Edible insects are one such category of under-utilized foods with a high nutritional value [1]. Insects are farmed for direct consumption and for use in the production of foods and feeds [2]. The concept of “novel foods”, including insects and their parts, has been introduced by Regulation (EU) 2015/2238 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on novel foods, which came into force on 1 January 2018. The growing popularity of exotic pets has also increased the demand for novel foods. However, edible insects are often infected by pathogens and parasites which cause significant production losses [3]. These pathogens also pose an indirect threat for humans, livestock and exotic animals”

Huumm

there is a thought.

We could produce insects and deliver them to DC.Imagine trucks going thru DC and seeding the city?

Brown Recluse, Black Widows, Cockroaches (already there in 2 leg variety), Africanized bees.

If that plague fails, we could get some rattle snakes, moccasins and possibly some skunks (those are also already there in the 2 leg variety).

We’ve ditched so-called “natural” ingredients that are actually not as clean as they claim. Instead we’re making something you can feel good about, using unexpected ingredients that, although surprising, actually boast health benefits.

Powered by sustainably farmed organic cricket flour, fava beans and lentils, Actually food puffs are a source of protein, rich in B12 and a natural source of fibre.

They are puffed to perfection and a satisfying snack that's actually good for you.

Actually Foods, a smarter way to snack.

If it comes to the only food option being bugs, I will hunt down the people responsible. I’m not eating bugs.

My wife and I were watching Bear Grylls one night. To my wife’s disgust she watched Bear eating bugs, as a survival lesson. She nearly lost her dinner.

“Crickets are already popular in Asia, our betters assure us. But then again, so are mask-wearing and communism.”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

He ate fish and lamb.

Not to mention the freezer full of pork that he raised himself.

Crickets... the sound of silence!

Did you ever notice every murderous dictator discusses what food he is going to revolutionize for the masses. Mao did it and killed off a billion. Stalin did it and killed off millions. Castro did it and his country starved, which is kinda hard to do in the tropics zones. African dictators have long used food policies as their weapons of choice to kill.

Anytime some mass psychosis marketing job sprouts, people die. Leave our food chains alone.
