Suggest ALL WEF MEMBERS eat this crap for 5 years, then tell us how good it is.

And, how do they get rid of the parasites in the insects? Anyone have answers?

Steers, hogs, lamb and chicken are sustainable too.

Satan wants us to murder our offspring and eat bugs. Check and double check.

Insects contain chitin, which is not digestible by humans. It will cause inflammatory issues in people and especially in people that already have gi tract problems.

Its not a constant, long-term viable source of nutrition for people. If you feed it to the animals that can handle it, and then we eat those animals, it can work out.

Like hey, what we’ve been doing for thousands of years....

When the WEF elites and globalists start practicing what they preach and lead by example, then they have cause to push this crap.

Until and unless THEY are willing to eat the bugs they are pushing on us, no dice.

They need to find a way to make ‘food’ from those orange lady bugs (not the Good ones, that are RED and have only a few spots) and Box Elder Bugs.

If they need some, I’ve been sweeping BOTH off of my porch and south-facing house walls for a month, already!

Japanese Beetles, too! And Iris Borers!

All of these ‘invasive’ and ‘imported’ USELESS bugs NEED to go!

Eat them first, Globalists!

Eat all of the English Sparrows you want, too! Make it a ‘fancy thing’ so chefs around the world will rid us of these pests!

To anyone who wants to eat insects I’d say “knock yourself out”.But make my protein sources beef...chicken...pork...eggs...milk.

Reptiles and amphibians I suspect. Preferably alive! :D

Lev 11:22 Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind.

Your globalist Demi gods will be eating prime rib while everyone else gets maggots. It’s for the earth didn’t you know?

Awww, poor little things. Clearly this is cruelty to worms. Evil people hurting creatures that can’t fight back.

Go glue yourself to the wall. to protest this. Ooooops!!! Horses were killed to make that glue. And who knows what poor little critters died when that wall was built.

Just gag yourself with a spoon.

And fish. Feed bugs to the perch in your fish pond. Wait til Friday! Have deep fried perch and french fries! Drink beer! A better solution than eating bugs!

Too much chitin causes deadly impactions, so nope.
