More and more articles about insects as a food product and the wonderful benefits. Priming the pump.

Wonderful. Now they will be making meal worm flour for everything.

But not for me.

Basically the same as every other bug-eating article that has ever been published. Bugs are good for you. Meat is bad for you and the planet. You have to get over your distaste for eating bugs cuz we’re gonna force you to eat the anyway.

(Meanwhile, the ruling elite will eat fillet mignon, caviar and crepes suzettes.)

Keep in mind, the ultimate goal is to eliminate 80% of the world’s population.

“...nutritionists also recommend eating more high-quality proteins as part of a weight management plan.”

~~~

Yes, it’s called keto, or atkins, or like many others, and the they poo-poo’d it when it was called those things, but now that you can politically frame it as being from insects, suddenly it’s good. But I saw nothing in the article that defined the amino acid profile of insect sources specifically. So this is just politics.

Cow meat bad. Cockroach meat good. /npc

“ With the world’s population on the rise and climate change intensifying, there’s an increasing need for sustainable protein alternatives”

So much wrong here.

Premise is not true and if it were there’s no “need” for protein alternatives.

Also, these people always have a totalitarian mindset. Nothing is stopping them from developing and selling it as food for humans.

But they want to force people to eat it by fiat.

Well, yeah.

When somebody tells you you’re eating worms you lose your appetite. Ergo, you lose weight!..............

If insects are so great why haven’t humans been gobbling them up from day one ?

I’m telling the jerks behind this push to eat insects right now: You make me eat a bug, by force or by deception I will end you. There is a line and that’s it.

Knock this crap off, humans should not and do not need to eat insects.

Good. Feed the mealworms to chickens, then harvest the eggs (VERY high-quality protein), and when the hen stops laying, slaughter the flock, dress them out, and make chicken soup, also a relatively high-quality source of protein.

Chickens exist to convert insect protein to quality protein for human consumption. Chickens are - useful.

I love bugs! After they've been processed into meat by a chicken.
