You know how they've been trying to get us to eat bugs instead of meat? Yeah, about that...

Yes, it's true, the "globalist elites" have been literally trying to force larva down our throats. They love the idea of us feasting on crickets and cockroach milk instead of normal, healthy food.

Alas, even the influence of Big Bug hasn't been enough to convince people to buy mealworm meatballs.

Now all the bug factories are closing up! As Vox exclusively reported, "plans to build a large insect farm in Nebraska — a joint project between Tyson Foods, America's largest meat company, and Protix, now the world's second largest insect farming company — are indefinitely on hold."

Tyson took a huge risk getting into this business. Most people find it disgusting and if they think Tyson is blending bugs into their meat products, bye-bye Tyson. It will make the Dylan Mulvaney marketing disaster look like a picnic.

Feed bugs to illegals picked up by ICE...they’ll self-deport.

Eating insects is popular in 3rd world countries out of necessity......we ain’t 3rd world....not yet anyway.

Until thatctime Americans will continue to be repulsed by consuming insects......unless you’re a woke lib.

I didn’t climb to the top of the Food Chain, to eat bugs.

I have eaten insects prepared these ways and it is a novelty, not something I expect would catch on. I believe it is important to try things out to know what future fallbacks are tolerable or even tasty.

Anyone who cares about emergency survival should be doing this safely with insects and plants before the circumstance arises.

Article says activists don’t want to eat bugs, because ‘evidence suggests’ bugs have consciousness. So, they’re now pro-life?

They’re getting us prepared for the coming food shortages. We are not prepared for that.

Guess the idea of eating bugs didn’t go over too well with the public - ditto for the fake meat that was featured prominently a few years ago - took up a lot of space in the meat aisle of my local supermarket. Can’t find it at all now.

Can’t wait to see what comes up next from these tyrants - insects for thee, filet mignon for me!

That Tyson would even consider producing, processing, and then selling insects as food for ‘the masses’ is enough for me. Yet another thing that makes this life in 2026 seem absolutely surreal. I find myself turning to the Bible quite a bit these days just to stay grounded...

I’ve been calling Tyson ‘Clinton Chicken’ since the 90’s..this doesn’t help. :-)

A capitalist that goes woke, soon goes broke. Tyson cannot survive if housewives and mothers think that they put bugs in their food.

You, sir, think things through. While I won’t make a habit of it having the knowledge of which insects are edible is not a bad thing at all.

I’ve had Mexican style cricket tacos and quite honestly they weren’t awful. I wouldn’t order them off a menu, though. One of my wife’s co workers brought them so I ate two out of politeness.

The tequila did come in handy for washing them down.

I make a habit of checking the fake meat and plant based foods when at the grocery store.....most times those sections appear to be for the most part untouched.
