/sarcasm on/Now I know what the food discs from "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and those squares of food from "Star Trek" were made of./sarcasm off/ One of the major markers of class in the past was food. The elites had access to meat and cheese while the rest of society ate mostly bread and other grain products. This is the main reason gout, caused by excessive consumption of meat and wine, was associated with the rich. In Europe, the elites justified this unequal access to food by claiming they had a different constitution from their inferiors. It appears we ae headed back to food as a marker of class as the World Economic Forum types are able to eat meat while the rest of us have to make due with insects for protein.

Interesting point about European aristocracy believing they were different physically than their underlings. I am watching a series called Ekaterina about Catherine the Great. Part of the drama includes treatment for illnesses, and consideration of the class of the patient is part of diagnosis and treatment. Elites were considered more fragile. This was the mid-1700s.

John the Baptist ate insects, but there is no indication that Jesus ever did. He ate fish and lamb.

Jesus is my model.

Some of the “cricket flour” goes into pet foods, while some is added to foods made for human consumption.

It use to be that the USDA was concerned about the number of insect fragments that would get into a food product. now they’re all in on feeding citizens ground insects. This has come about thru a combination of payoffs and raw hatred and contempt for the citizens.
