>> There is no less than 5 places in Austin I can think of selling chapulines for $5+ per street sized taco think two bites each. They sell out every day people line up for them.
Yeah, no doubt Austin people line up for that sh!t. It’s so cool to be cool and edgy.
Please, enjoy my ration of bugs with my blessing!
I’ll be eating boring old typical meat. You know, the things men have been eating BY CHOICE for millenia.
Humans have eaten all forms of protein for tens of thousands of years. Imagine being the first to eat an oyster or a crab of any species. It’s cultural differences nothing else. Don’t like bugs don’t eat them. Lobsters are bugs in the biological sense so are crabs decapods are all bugs, the arthropods are only two legs away and are less than .25% by DNA shrimp are closer to spiders than crabs by DNA.
I am an accomplished world traveler and have eaten virtually every form of protein that won’t kill a human and some that can if not prepared right. I am not scared to push boundaries it’s part of what makes life an adventure.
It’s all fear porn no one is forcing bugs for people who don’t want to try them. Scream to the sky about the evil billionaires but it’s all media hype. I would love to see a documented proven case where people.were forced to eat bugs while being denied the purchase of other protein including vegetable proteins. If you can’t afford anything but bugs on a stick in Thailand that’s not the WEF global overlords at work that’s just poverty in a poor country where bugs are complete protein at a fraction of the cost of pork or chicken.
Those tacos in Austin are excellent they are crunchy and taste like deep fried shrimp or other shellfish why because they are 99.xx% identical to crab or shrimp.
