First they soften you up with a government engineered food shortage then they get the propaganda arm to introduce you to yummy alternatives. Your tax dollars at work. I lost track of how many GOP politicians promised to get rid of funding for PBS and yet we still get this.

I encourage anyone who voluntarily wants to eat bugs and insects to do so.

Right now I will have to say, nope.

Hah!

Just watched this.

Stupid premise that bugs are the possible alternative to meat.

Nope.

Never happen.

I’ll eat bugs for the novelty and to gross friends out but, hoof and fowl are here to stay...

I do like crickets though...

Was walking in a touristy area near me with my kids. There was a booth offering free ice cream. Then I saw it was made out of bugs. Pass.

I knew they were gonna start pushing this crap years ago. Bug ice cream, bug flower, bug “meat”.

Well i do know a lot,of what libtards push regarding this is that insects are ground up into like a fine powder type “ingredient” that can be used in making protein type patties and such, so that it wouldnt be recognizeable as being bugs at all.

Still. Not at that level of desperate hunger yet.

Grow your own, folks. Because they’re looking to shove this crap down your throats, like it or not. Typical fascist behaviour.

Fly fishing is great fun but the little buggars are hard too clean. I learned that from a Canadian beer commercial.

Beef, it’s what’s for dinner.

If we'll eat insects, we'll eat anything. And be happy.

When I was about thirteen a school chum showed up with a tin of chocolate covered ants. (Hey, he was French! What can I say!)

I ate some. I’ve done my bit. Never again!

Soylent Green.

Plants grow off nutrition from the soil-worms deposit nutrients-bugs eat plants-chickens eat bugs-I eat chicken-I die worms eat me. Seems to work. I’ll take the fried chicken. Thank you. 😀

I can't recommend edible insects enough ...


... for catching trout, crappie, bream, and perch.

And trout, crappie, bream and perch, ... not that's good eating.

But eat bugs? Hail naw!

Hey! Check out the Harley riders going to Sturgess with bugs in their teeth. Partying like Bill Clinton at a private strip club. They seem to be making it.
