>> food neophobia and disgust reactions

So if I don’t “eat the bugs”, I am something akin to racist, with an obsessive-compulsive mental illness layered on top.

Okay fine! I’ll still not eat the doggone bugs! But I’ll apply for an SSI stipend and join Stormfront! So there!

I’ll die and go to hell before I eat one. And if somebody slips me one without my knowledge, I will exercise my right to self-defense from somebody who poisoned me.

Hybrid alternative protein-based foods will be as popular as EV.

Why can’t I just enjoy a burger made exclusively from cows? Are they still promoting the lie about cow farts causing global warming?

“”Would you eat a burger that was made from insects like silkworm pupae? (Photo by nicemyphoto on Shutterstock)””

People... let’s get real here. My stomach turns just a looking at the pictures and at the very thought of eating that. And I really don’t think that I’m ‘unusual’ re: that automatic repulsion response.

The globalist elites are never going to get the masses to willingly eat insects... unless they manage to make ‘all other’ foods unavailable and unless people are literally starving to death and desperate. Which, come to think of it, they’re also probably “busily working on”, as we speak.

Since eating insects is not kosher, I will not worry about this development.

That’s odd. Why wouldn’t they just retake the scene?

The spicy burgers they will serve at the Flintstones restaurant will be known as Chili con Barney.

It’s important that we eat bugs to fight climate change.

This will blunt the impact of building more AI datacenters.

The is not enough infrastructure for EV's, there is not enough available generated power to charge and run EV's. In our country let alone world wide. The technology just isn't there.

AND NOBODY!

I went for a test drive in a Tesla maybe 10 years ago now. My only experience ever in an EV. I wasn’t forced and the Tesla people were very friendly. That said I have no plans for an EV. Bugs? Well I’ve tried escargots and a few other exotic foods in my life. None of them changed my fairly normal North American diet.

I’d rather kill and eat the prog that tells me I have to eat insects.
