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.

Crickets carry E. coli, salmonella and worms in their bodies and excrement.
John the Baptist survived on locusts and wild honey. Did the honey counteract toxins in the insects?
Best thing I’ve ever used is malathion......has a bit of a strong odor but it kills ‘em pretty quick......an effective preventative also.
I spray the perimeter of the house periodically and I see very few insects of any kind.
Already did it my friend......it’s called FLORIDA. LOL! ....................Any product with the name Palmetto on it can be a warning. Lately a new protein sources have been available, Anaconda/Burmese Python, Iguana, Monitor Lizard and cane toad legs. We’re good here, no crickets necessary.
NOPE.
.
LMAO!
Good idea. You can eat the crickets already processed by your chickens.
If I can’t get a filet or rack of ribs I’m not interested
I would reckon John the Baptist had special protection. Much like Paul had when bitten by an Asp.
How do you field dress a cricket? Real small knife and bifocals?

That’s pretty funny, but it brings up a real question.
Like any multi-cellular animal, crickets have a digestive tract. It would be full of bacteria, semi-digested food, and feces. I’m guessing when they manufacture cricket “flour” the whole critter is ground up, intestines and feces included. Just how good can it be to consume a diet which includes animal feces?
Come to think of it, I did eat venison once. A friend in SoCal had a dad in Michigan who liked to hunt. Sent frozen venison to him with instructions on how to cook it. A long time ago, but I think you had to marinate it in something for 24 hours before cooking it on the barbecue grill. Not bad. Without the marinade, I think it would have tasted terrible.
The island in question, ancient Melite, is usually identified with the modern Malta, which has no poisonous snakes, but the "barbarous inhabitants" expected Paul to die. The island of Mljet in the Adriatic had the same name in ancient times and does have poisonous snakes. The Byzantine emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus believed that Mljet was the site of St. Paul's shipwreck. But don't tell the Maltese that.
Just put ‘em in a sauce of some sort.
Kung Pao Cricket?
Cricket Curry?
Cricket Etouffè?
... can cause all sorts of problems ...

I wonder if it triggers shellfish allergy.
I can eat shellfish, but krill supplements give me a rash.
If this stuff is already available, there must be some reactions already.
I’m a foodie. I’ve eaten fried grasshoppers and chocolate covered ants. Once. They weren’t bad, but french fried onions and chocolate covered raisins taste exactly the same. I’ll just read labels for now.
Without the marinade, I think it would have tasted terrible.

The backstraps are like tenderloin, taste a tad more iron-y. Just seared quickly in butter with a dash of wine and lemon pepper and it is wonderful. The best roasts are cooked quickly, too and best rare. Tougher meat is slow cooked or ground for burger. Mixed 1/2 & 1/2 w/beef, even the picky can’t tell. Or by itself in chili or spaghetti.
Marinade is for the tougher parts and for the people who quail at game, which is just the real taste of meat that didn’t fatten on corn and actually used their muscles. We’re so used to bland meat, venison and some others take getting used to. Moose steak in delicious just grilled, preferably over wood, for example.
I never thought mahi-mahi sushi would taste like rare beef tenderloin, but it does. And whale steak is also like tenderloin, but with a slight fish flavor and a bit more texture.
None of which makes whole ground insect powder ok to eat, especially as a substitute for red meat. Or white meat. Or chicken.
Oh, and Bambi is a rat with hooves, despite the cartoon. Tastes better, tho and I shouldn’t give the tyrants any ideas for new foods, either.
My son-in-law calls deer rats on stilts.
I’m in no danger of ever getting near venison again, but do buy grass-fed beef from a nearby ranch in Oregon. Also eat pasture-raised eggs and drink grass milk. All very healthy, tasty stuff.
If it comes to that, none of our Betters will be eating like the peons.
An excellent example is in Atlas Shrugged.
