replacing traditional proteins with mealworms in high-fat diets for mice could offer numerous health benefits including reduced weight gain and improved cholesterol.

Finally found it. Not an easy sell to the public with Cockroach fritters or Maggot Chop Suey but throw in a possible weight loss and the product will fly off the shelves.

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

So are pigs. Go to any poor country and you'll see plenty of both. Chicken wings wrapped in bacon is my choice but if these idiots want to eat cockroaches wrapped in night crawlers I'm not going to stop them.

Progressives' could actually do something productive for a change and help reduce the roach population but they will likely declare them an off limits endangered species or worship them as their new god.

Propaganda. Eat your insects, proles, they’re good for you.

They missed the marketing that might actually work. No one cares about ‘slows weight gain.’ But if it actually caused WEIGHT LOSS, well, that’s another matter! ;-)

No sale.

I just finished a T-bone steak for dinner. They were on sale this week.

Eat bugs? BARF

Our locally owned grocery store (10 miles) still has a great meat market. They cut and package it in house. You simply cannot beat them at this.

We also have a meat processing building at the farm. Never for commercial use, but we know how to use it. Make some good beef sausage. Have the best recipe in the state.

When you look at how many people are planning this behind the curtain, they are vastly outnumbered.

They think they are God. God knows they are not.

They can take their nonsense and put it where the sun don’t shine.

Tomah.

I don’t care, I won’t eat bugs.

I will eat human meat before I eat bugs. Ideally, human meat from one of the little hitlers pushing insect protein.

Go to any poor country and you'll see plenty of both.

You'll also see a lot of goats.

Their meat and milk isn't as popular in America as is beef, pork, and chicken, but it's quite good.

That is also the Old Testament. I agree bugs can be eaten in emergency or real survival situations but I don’t believe that humans were meant to get their protein from bugs and bugs only.

Who knew mice needed a better diet to keep their weight and cholesterol under control?
