The British Government is Experimenting With Feeding African Kids Worms, Locusts, and Flies

The British government is funding projects pushing Africans to farm and consume insects, including school-age children, in randomized trials, to assess their effects.

The United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) – a subsidiary of the country’s Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy – is responsible for backing the projects taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe.

With a roughly $320,000 grant from the aid office, researchers in Zimbabwe will be experimenting with using mopane worms in porridge served to children in schools. Poor children aged seven to 11 in the towns of Gwanda and Harare will be fed the concoction derived from the caterpillars, which researchers allege are high in vitamins and minerals.

Also known as the public schools lunches here in Obamaville.

Sidwell Friends still gets the filet tips, rice pilaf, and truffle buttered asparagus.

Yes he might like it, if these protein sources are ground into powder with lots of fake sugar substitutes, then mixed with GMO grains and a healthy dose of glyphosate and nicotine

These are the same ilk that offered us a quarter to eat a goldfish in 1st grade.

They think they’re funny.

They think THIS is funny.

Sadistic sociopaths.

.....The British Government is Experimenting With Feeding African Kids Worms, Locusts, and Flies.....

I believe that the less advanced African tribes have been doing this for thousands of years, ar least when the hunting wasn’t good!!!!

Even the Old Testament allows God’s people to eat locusts, presumably when they destroy the crops!!!!

https://biblehub.com/leviticus/11-22.htm

And St. John the Baptizer of Christ ate locusts, too!!!!

Best to use black expendables rather than loyal royal subjects.

Not our problem. Even though it’s very sick. But I guess we can save the beef, pork, chicken and seafood for the rest of us. But shame on them for feeding them stuff they won’t eat themselves.
