In mid-2022, we set up a news alert for terms like “cricket protein” and “cricket burgers.” Since then, there have been occasional peaks with a whole lot of valleys in interest as Americans generally aren’t excited about the prospects of getting their necessary protein from bugs.
There was a spike that started shortly after news broke that bird flu was being transmitted to cattle. On the surface this makes sense, but it was conspicuously odd that there was no spike when bird flu was limited to poultry. Surely Americans would be concerned about their sources of protein whether it was beef or chicken affected, but media coverage didn’t reflect that.
What’s really happening is not a greater concern for beef. It’s a media- and government-manufactured concern that is coinciding with the planned push for insect proteins in America. This falls into the same trend that has “nutritionists” claiming beef is bad for our health, “journalists” pretending like Americans are turning away from beef, and “scientists” claiming cattle are the biggest cause of global warming.
Most if not nearly all of our readers will not willingly partaking in eating “cricket burgers.” Unfortunately, that particular abomination is not the first step toward normalization. Before “cricket burgers” are forced on us, they will introduce cricket and other insect proteins into the food supply that is simply mixed in with regular food.
In fact, they’re already doing it.
For example, Exo Prebiotic Protein Bars are very popular as a dairy-free “healthy” snack. They are high in protein and boast 3X more iron than spinach. Nowhere on the packaging does it mention the words “cricket” or “insects.” Instead, it lists in the ingredients, “Acheta protein.”
Acheta protein is cricket powder, though Snopes is still working on coming to that very basic conclusion.
The rise of bird flu allegedly infecting cattle has been propped up by corporate media despite the fact that there has only been one documented case of it spreading to a human in all of history. That case resulted in conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye. The infected individual was not hospitalized and did not have respiratory symptoms.
Nevertheless, our government and their media proxies are pretending like this is the Bubonic plague. They are prepared to rapidly distribute over 100 million “vaccines.” They are passing regulations to make it far more difficult for American ranchers to survive. They’re establishing the “Beef Boogeyman” and they’re prepared with the “solution.”
Insects are not Kosher.
Uh, no.
Some are...................
the goal is to make bugs the only affordable source of protein
Algore got rich off such an advertising campaign with his carbon credit scam. No wonder they still try it.
Bill Gates is betting a couple of billion on that outcome.
Are they prepared to lose their lives while attempting to force this nonsense upon the rest of us?
I bet that cricket flu is the very worst strain.
I hope millions of Americans would be willing to fight against anyone who tried to force us to eat bugs. I’m never giving up steak or eating a bug.
Check first to see if Fauci has an investment in it, then answer.
Insect proteins… a government solution to a nonexistent problem. Overreach into something unnecessary, while ignoring the southern border invasion. Ignoring crime in our cities. Ignoring failing schools. Ignoring a failing economy. Etc…
No, I won’t be investing in a commercial cricket farm. I’ll invest in lead instead.
Leftists are liars and cheaters. See, they don’t label it “crick powder”, but “acheta protein”m.” We say to them “You are a-cheater.”
Who the hell is going to believe anything coming out of fjb government?
Wait until the serfs demand that the elites be mixed into the cricket burgers.
“Insects are not Kosher.”
John the Baptist would like to join the conversation. So would a whole lot good folks in Louisiana seeing as how this is mudbug season.
I love the tinfoil hat crew and the eatzebugs. Please continue it’s a good chuckle for all.
Americans are too old or too weak and will never raise arms that’s been proven in spades. So the question is do you raise your own cattle? Does your immediate family raise cattle? I’m curious if the government culls cattle en mass where that steak is coming from?
I have goats on one of my properties and feral hogs and more feral goats on another. The fam has cattle in South Texas but if dotgov comes in and demands a cull I doubt anyone will go gun to gun to the death to save some cows on scrub brush. Keyboard commandos will scream that garbage but in or actuality those cows will be culled and everyone will move on.
