Future complaint:
Waiter, there are no flies in my soup.
No we shouldn’t. This prediction has been going on for at least 20 years. It’s a stupid story that exists for the sole purpose of getting the doom and gloom cultists hard.
A good portion of my cats’ diet consists of insects and small creatures. One moth, one newt and one lizard already today. They are constantly trying to share with me but I pass.
Bingo.
Process the insects, powder them, add some additional supplements, can it, and sell it to gym rats and weightlifters.

Trophies on the doormat are so pleasing.
If so, they’re hypocrites as insects are living animals as well. After all, you never hear an animal activist defending the lives of mosquitos, cockroaches or worms.
It's quite the tourist attraction.
Maggot Ranches.
There’s a thread today about some place selling Spider Sliders.
LOL
Yuck. But even spiders wouldn’t be as bad as maggots, I don’t care how much BBQ sauce is on them.
Maggots aren’t so bad if they are in a good sauce.
Oh.
Wait.
That’s carrots.
Sorry.
LOL
We got that now. It’s any collection of Democrats in America.
Been there...the Minnesota state

Except they bring their trophies, still wiggling, to my desk or deposits them for safe keeping in Mr. b’s shoes.
My kitten prefers her dry food with a side order of flies.
