Swedish Govt Spends Millions Telling Citizens To Eat Insect “Meat” To End Climate Change
Active Post ^ | April 29, 2016 | Joseph Jankowski

The Swedish government is taking an extremely bizarre commitment to fighting climate change by spending large sums of taxpayer money to develop 'meat' made from mealworms and crickets. Vinnova, the Swedish government agency that distributes money for research and development, is spending some 2.7 billion kronor ($261 million) to replace conventional meat with 'climate-friendly' insect 'meat' and other strange alternatives. Yum… Breitbart News reports:

Green activists and the United Nations are behind such political initiatives as 'Meat Free Mondays' — a gateway to full vegetarianism — which are based on the premise that meat consumption is driving man-made climate change. Another method to reduce that so-called burden on the earth is replacing meat protein with that harvested from insects instead.

To that end, Vinnova is awarding half a million kronor each to fifteen different projects across the country, each of which tasked with creating an "edible prototype" of a new food. Among the mouth-watering projects being funded are an attempt to produce a "good and healthy product from mealworms which are fed on vegetable food scraps to become a climate friendly source of protein", "food prototypes" made from "refined mealworms", and mincemeat made out of "climate smart insects" such as crickets.

Other enticing offerings not involving insects include "climate-fungal protein", a "healthy vegetarian barbecue made from by-products" and "fibrous raw materials", and a "blue cheese-like product" made from beans...

Truth is self-evident. The universe was created in an orderly state and is gradually breaking down (Thermodynamics). And since nothing comes from nothing (Law of Conservation of Energy), the burden of proof is on you to prove spontaneous order and nothing from nothing. Aliens perhaps? Spaghetti Monster? Or the Judeo-Christian God!

What happens when they run out of insects?

Soylent Green.

That's hilarious. You repeat yourself and conclude that I'm on the hook to prove you.

You can repeat your own tautologies all day long bunky.

And as far as "what came before", the answer of "the tooth fairy did it" is just as good as any other for the time being.

First, if there is no God, why are you expending so much energy arguing with me? Who in their right mind would fight to prove the tooth fairy does not exist?

That doesn’t disprove evolution. It only adds some creedence to Uniformitarianism (the theory that all astronomical and geological processes happened at the same rate and in the same way then as they do now). Most “proofs” that evolution didn’t happen are actually just “proofs” that Uniformitarianism didn’t happen.

There is plenty of better evidence to disprove evolution than attempting to use physics and thermodynamics.

They’ll eat meat and lobster, while they try to force the peasants to eat bugs. It seems like every few years, they come up with a new reason why people should eat bugs. It won’t work this time either.

Humans did not have permission to kill animals for food until after the Flood. Until then they were permitted to use animals for meat and wool and to eat animals that had died naturally (the latter is now forbidden).
