Billions of locusts, in swarms the size of cities, are eating "everything in sight" in East Africa, and experts fear the plague could get "500 times" worse.
The ZeroHedge blog reported "ravenous locust swarms that are 'the size of cities' are consuming crops at a staggering pace, and this could potentially cause famine on the African continent that is unlike anything we have ever seen before."
Al Jazeera previously reported locusts "dense clouds of the ravenous insects, each of which consumes its own weight in food every day" that have spread from Ethiopia and Somalia into Kenya.
"The U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization estimated one swarm in Kenya at around 2,400 square kilometers (about 930 square miles) an area almost the size of Moscow meaning it could contain up to 200 billion locusts," the report said.

grilled or BBQed locusts, anyone? LOL
They’re not bad. Crunchy of course, a little greasy. I had them in survival school. I’ve heard if you marinate them they can be quite tasty.

Send them to China, lots of dead people.

Roast it over an open flame like a marshmallow, dust it with cayenne and add a squeeze of lime. Dont eat the legs. They stick in your teeth.
#24 sounds about right. :-)
Trumps fault. Also global warming.
I have long thought if Betelgeuse goes super nova it will be a sign from heaven. If this happens in the next couple of years get ready,
WWTDPD?
(what would the Donner party do?)
Perhaps DDT was not a bad idea!
I read Rachael Carson’s “Silent Spring” as a 6th grader. I was horrified. At that time in my life I had no idea that supposed scientists would promulgate lies. When I became a scientist I realized Rachel Carson at best was a sub par scientist but probably a damn liar.
Her efforts to ban DDT lead to millions of deaths in Africa due to Malaria. It was almost eliminated prior to banning.
Rachel Carson is a mass killer.
About 600,000 malaria deaths per year worldwide, with most of them in Africa.
I think that is about the same number of abortions in the USA.
[ Mix this up with earthquakes, wars and rumors of wars . . . ]
I think the ball really gets rolling in the Great Tribulation period (last half of the 7 years).
But yeah..............birth pains.............
Africa wins again.
That would be the dimming of Beutelguse and the gravity bumps detected in its direction.
And why are the un lefties telling the people to eat the locusts as a food source of protein, like they lecture western countries?
Could we get some of those imported to San Francisco?
Eat the locust.
SF could also use a large amount of dung beetles as well.
