But I am curious, if this is being commercialized, what the nutritional value really is. The joke was its all protein, but what is the nutrient value really, if you had ground Crickets or ground dried worm powders added to foods?

The European Union is responsible for bug additives being put into food. One large German company had requested to put cricket powder in all food.
The normalization of eating bugs is a goal of the World Economic Forum.
It has been approved, but it’s not only crickets. Mealworms and grasshoppers are also approved.
Since the globalists want the peasants to eat bugs, many believe this is a foot in the door for climate ideologues to impose their beliefs. They believe that we should not eat meat but rather bugs.
Don’t believe these people when they say bugs are good for you. They aren’t unless you want parasites. Be careful when the propaganda begins.
Today it’s cricket powder, mealworms, and grasshoppers, tomorrow the whole world of bugs could be on your plate.
IT’S APPROVED
The Blaze also reports that the official journal of the EU, a company called Cricket One submitted an application in 2019 seeking authorization to place partially defatted house cricket powder on the market as a novel food.
The company sought to clear it for use in the manufacture of various foods, such as “multigrain bread and rolls, crackers and breadsticks, cereal bars, dry pre-mixes for baked products, biscuits, dry stuffed and non-stuffed pasta-based products … beer-like beverages, chocolate confectionary … and meat preparations,” The Blaze says.
The EFSA concluded in early 2022 that cricket powder was “safe under the proposed conditions of use and use levels,” despite admitting that there was “limited published evidence on food allergy related to insects in general, which equivocally linked the consumption of [house crickets] to a number of anaphylaxis events,” The Blaze continues.
As of Jan. 24, 2023, Cricket One can peddle its pest feed in Europe.
Bloomberg indicated that yellow mealworms and grasshoppers have similarly been approved.
Prepare for new allergies in peoples’ lives and who knows what else.
Can’t Sue a Dictatorship ,LOL
World Enslavement Forum ,again
Just killed their food export market!
Why is the West eating bugs when it’s has lots of food send the bugs to the starving parts of the world and see what happens ,LOL
For all the noise the EU made about GMOs.....
are the bugs free range and nonGMO?
are the bugs free range and nonGMO?
Bugs are BUGS , enough said ,LOL
They want to get us used to being treated like livestock because livestock are born to be slaughtered.
Ok with me if it says so in the label.
Using some sort of protein or starch powder from crickets as additive or filler wouldn’t be the same as eating bugs.
Nonetheless, it seems yucky, and ludicrous, no reason business-wise. Etc…
Further, bugs are ubiquitous and plentiful and have been throughout all human history. Yet humans don’t eat bugs, with rare meaningless exceptions.
If bugs were a viable food source, humans would have been eating them millennia ago.
That’s science.
But I am curious, if this is being commercialized, what the nutritional value really is. The joke was its all protein, but what is the nutrient value really, if you had ground Crickets or ground dried worm powders added to foods?
I have a funny feeling lawsuits will be the least concern.
We have to get a regulation passed that any of these sorts of additives need to be clearly labeled here...
Nazi Klaus Schwab and his World Enslavement Forum think if they make us eat bugs they will own us and they can make us do what ever they want
I LUV eating bugs...
...that have been processed through chickens.
I love Costco rotisserie chicken and BBQ chicken. Somehow, Costco rotisserie crickets, or BBQ crickets just doesn’t have the same appeal to me.
Then they can’t tell us it is safe since they have no idea who could be allergic to it.
It’s just another way to thin the herd. People with allergies are nothing more that collateral damage to them. A way to kill off more people without taking responsibility for it.
Except, God is keeping account.
They need a new government this one is NUTS
