Former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan wants you to eat more insects. Why? Its better for the environment and your health, he argues.
Keeping meat consumption to levels recommended by health authorities would lower emissions and reduce heart disease, cancer, and other diseases, Annan told The Guardian Sunday.
And of course there are alternative sources of protein. For example, raising insects as an animal protein source, Annan said. Insects have a very good conversion rate from feed to meat. They make up part of the diet of two billion people and are commonly eaten in many parts of the world.

"The Daily Caller noted that in President Obamas best-selling memoir, Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance, the president recalls being fed dog meat as a young boy in Indonesia with his stepfather, Lolo Soetoro.
With Lolo, I learned how to eat small green chill peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy), the president wrote. Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths.
He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share."

Bahahahaha! Thanks for the chuckle!
The bigger scandal in his interview is that he wants Western countries to pay hundreds of billions a year to poorer countries to pay for the “impact” of climate change. Its all just a racket to transfer wealth.
Ha! Maybe the soylent green in the macs includes a “vote for D’s” chemical? It would be consistent with the observably high correlation of Mac consumers and mental illness (just watching behavior at the burger dispensary, no statistics, ha!).
Turning America into Ethiopia one plum soaked cricket at a time. :-)
Cows supposedly cause “global warming” with their farts. Therefore, I propose we eat more cows!
The next thing you know, Michelle Obama is recommending insect-filled lunch menus in schools, and Obamacare is mandating that a certain percentage of diets should include insects.
It's part of the new normal, taking one of the most-advanced Western societies down to third-world level.
Like a true primitive.
“Ha! Maybe the soylent green in the macs includes a vote for Ds chemical?”
Funny you should say that.
Believe it or not my buddy was convinced it was the Russians and part of a communist plan to overthrow the country.
From boogers to bugs would be a step up for Kofi.
What will the birds and bats eat then?
soooooo African.
Africans could never figure out systemized farming for food production.
Thus, they starve OR resort to alternate survival methods.
Yea, another ass clown prince.
Must be obama’s cousin.
“Does anyone know whats in a certain large chains hamburgers nowadays? ( they cause me to instantly vomit, never used to)’
No, but I know what’s in Fig Newtons that will make you gag.
Well, I’ve no reason to pin it on the Russians but I’m very seriously impacted by just one or two bites of their burgers now ( which I used to be able to eat —— and I can still eat other brands’ burgers so the problem definitely appears to be some additive or change in recent years to this one big big big brand of burgers). If so enemy wanted to do some chemical behavior modification to us on a mass scale, these burgers would seem a natural vehicle of dissemination given their ubiquitous character. Just saying ( speculating)
does PETA know about him ???
Ha! Funny you’d mention fig newtons I used to buy them thinking they were healthier than regular cookies but now not sure —?
Pffftttt.... I nearly spit my coffee on the keyboard. Insects... indeed.
My kind of bug!!
