[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Yup. And thus another liberal goes out of his way to prove that my user name speaks the truth.

[Kolokotronis]

There sure a lotta weirdos and nuts in the world and the UN seems to have more than its proper share.

[donna]

Cannibalism cannot be far away.

[Digital Sniper]

Next liberal cause de celebre: PETCC.

(People for the Ethical Treatment of Creepy-Crawlies)

[Joe Brower]

This is the U.N. in a nutshell: Do as we elites say, not as we do.

They will dine on lobster and caviar while we proles can eat bugs. Works for them well enough.

[Eye of Unk]

Somebody should tell N.Korea this juicy little fact.

[WKUHilltopper]

These UN people eat s### anyway, bugs are probably a nice respite.

[skimbell]

We dump untold millions of dollars into this joke of an outfit each year and now we get the phakin punch line answer to global hunger-eat bugs!

I think the money could maybe be spent a bit wiser.

[rockabyebaby]

Well gollllllllllllllllllly, I think I’ll whip me up some crickets and grubs, what kind of wine do I serve with crickets and grubs?

[ridesthemiles]

Cannibalism cannot be far away.”

Anybody remember the movie “Soylent Green”??

[John Jorsett]

I’ll take this seriously when the UN starts serving insects at its own functions.

[Fox_Mulder77]

“they could be ground up like a paste and added to the food humans eat.””

Call PETA!!! Insects are people too!

[girlangler]

Boy PETA will be upset.

They believe in trapping and relocating cockroaches to keep from hurting them.

Let’s send a petition to the U.N. suggesting they can set an example for the world by serving only insects to members.

[dforest]

This isn’t the king of grub I want for dinner. In fact, the very thought makes me want to puke.

[Secret Agent Man]

Soylent Green, mmmmmmm, fresh people......just add water....

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Using locusts for food — or at least for chicken feed — sounds like a good idea to me. I’ve often wondered why it wasn’t already being done.

[girlangler]

Ping

[Man50D]

They should try their idea first in the U.N. cafeteria.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

Millions of North Koreans can’t be wrong!
