Oh and the freeze dried beetles in the sealed bag are perfectly safe.

Nope not going to eat bugs.

I recall from my childhood that chocolate covered roaches are available in Japan

Even in the mid 70’s they were pushing this crap.

Tell us about Japanese natto!

I recall the children’s book “How to eat Fried worms” that pops up on banned book lists although I don’t know what justification there is

Locusts are edible.

You’d be amazed at how many bugs you eat in a year

I’ll bet other cultures that eat bugs do so to avoid starvation. If they could, they would be enjoying a nice juicy ribeye.

Well, it’s not Kosher.

Anyone that pushes this crap needs to be exposed as an anti-American Marxist. Eating bugs is a change predicated on the lies of climate change and to provide an alternative to meat products to people that haven’t already bought into the vegetarian/vegan lies. By the way, you vegetarians smell like 💩 and are stupid 💩’s.

Always clip the end of a scorpion’s tail before crunching.
On saltines is good. Tequila worms are great!

In The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, Maria von Trapp talks about how they went touring after they came to the US. The audiences seem to like their singing but they weren't really connecting...until at one concert Maria accidentally swallowed a fly. When she told the audience that, I think everyone started laughing (it has been a very long time since I read the book), but in any case from then on they really connected more with the audience.

I don't mind stores and restaurant offering bugs but I bet the powers plan to force it on us.
Squirrels and other small game are in for a rough time from people who refuse to be controlled.

My grandmother returned from a Thailand trip in the late 60s with chocolate covered ants, scorpions, beetles, etc....

I preferred her trip returns from Sweden, Holland, France, and Belgium. Down comforters, candies, cheese, and incredible hand carved elaborate toys.

Nobody likes me
Everybody hates me
Guess I'll go eat worms
Big, fat, juicy ones…

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

In fact, over 2 billion people regularly consume them.

They can have my share.

I remember reading in the journal of James O. Pattie, an early American pioneer in the southwest, of his encounter with what he called “grasshopper people”, a group of wretched, primitive, impoverished, naked savages whose main fare was insects. They made do on what they could get, but it occurred to me that one of the driving forces of the development of civilization was the desire to have more reliable and higher-quality sources of food.

John the Baptist ate locusts (akrides). He must have considered them kosher.

Only time I ate a bug was while riding my Harley.
Didn’t mean to. Didn’t enjoy it.

You first. (To them.)
