Insects contain high fat, protein, vitamin, fibre, and mineral content, and can facilitate the shift towards healthy and sustainable diets.

The environmental benefits of rearing insects for food are founded on:

✅ high feed conversion efficiency of insects ✅ less greenhouse gas emissions ✅ less use of water and arable lands ✅ use of insect-based bioconversion for reducing food waste

It is up to you to decide whether you want to eat them or not!

Let’s give it a try?

The main power and decision making body of the EU is newly pushing insect consumption.

They’re really good if processed through chickens, pigs and beef cattle.

Enjoy your insects while you can, EU citizens. Because you will eventually be eating dirt while huddling in your heatless homes.

But on the plus side, you will be saving Mother Earth. So no worries. It’s all good.

I do like Fig Newtons.

Forcing farmers to kill their crops and live stock to be a good bundle of carbons to fight climate change( how this will be done is to murder seven billion people) will make insects the only thing worthy of eating except of course if you want to eat your neighbors, which is also being written about.

Bugs and cannibalism might be tasty when you’re being starved to death.Won’t be the first time in history the elites have tried this.

I ate roasted spiders in Thailand. They were not as disgusting as I thought they would be.

Only the turtle really liked them...

Had a friend in college who would eat night crawlers at parties. Said they weren’t too bad if you were drunk.
