“You vill eat ze bugs!”
World Economic Forum
Attempted MSM media brainwashing continues.
Crickets are kosher. Meal bugs and maggots are not. There’s a difference.
And this is how they're going to sneak bugs into everything we eat whether we want them or not.
If you eat anything with flour, wheat, corn, soybean or any other grain you're already eating bugs, at least bug parts. FDA has standards for the allowable amount of bug parts in all the above.

For those who've read this far: NO I'm not advocating in any way for eating ze bugs. Just stating the facts as they are.

I’ll start eating bugs when the white house serves bugs to foreign dignitaries during official state dinners.

It's almost impossible to get all the bug pieces out of grainsThe Jains are a religious group from India who are strict vegans. And in India they thrived. But immigrants to the UK developed B12 deficiencies.

Why get defensive if you’re confident in your facts?
Sometimes I swallow bugs when they fly into my mouth while I’m riding my motorcycle. It’s not intentional of course.
Crickets are Kosher...
Roaches and Italian restaurants were already known to go together.
Well there you go....it's a flavour enhancement!
TRANSLATION: It smells like a55.
What hechsher? OU or Agudah affiliated? Ashkenaz or Sfardi chief rabbis of Israel? Satmer or Chabad?
I’d have the large plate of insect resistant spaghetti and meatballs.
