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.
So powdered crickets will be available from Jan. 24 onwards. That was earlier this week. I see their hopping right to it.
They evade that by calling it “natural”.
After my daughter started reacting to some foods, particularly very, very dark chocolate, I did some research and found out that there’s a red food color called carmine that is used that way. It’s made from insect shells but is often listed just as “natural” food color.
Not only can it be an issue for allergies, apparently for those who eat kosher it can be a problem, as it is not a kosher product.
That is for sure. We have a big box of European cookies... I think that I will take a closer look at the labels. Unfortunately, the name for cricket flour is likely not cricket flour on a food label.
If we truly have God-givin dominion over all living things, we must show it by eating all of them, especially bugs like roaches who have lasted a very long time and are just biding their time.
you can bet the farm they don’t serve bug powder in davos
Klaus Schwab said he’ll be running the World Enslavement Forum well into his 100s
It does not even have to be identified on food labels
There goes my appetite for European foods
Are bugs vegan?
Grasshoppers are kosher, just saying.
Thanks, I’ll remember that next time I’m lost in the desert and wandering around for forty years...............
Feed them spanish fly.
It is particularly nasty.
It can and will kill a person.
I thought that was a myth..................
Had a friend in college who would eat live night crawlers at parties. So I know it is fun to watch other people eat bugs.
I just felt the article was a it over the top
I like some bugs. Lobster and crawdads come to mind.
Satanist hell hole. Supports Ukr of course. Same thing.
>Just killed their food export market!
Anything from within the EU should be suspect.
Does The View have a recipe segment?
Starbucks and other have been putting bugs in coffee and foods in the US, it’s nothing new.
