I have actually eaten bugs a number of times over the years; For novelty purposes mainly. I have a friend who married a Chinese woman who would bring jars of pickled scorpions 🦂 back from China. They were interesting but not something I would eat on a regular basis. Even my friend said that bugs were never meant to be a staple food in China; mostly they were consumed sparingly as a side dish to a meal. This whole “eat ze bugs” shit is disgusting. Forget about exiting the WHO, we need to exit the UN!

reading this article, the old term, " you are what you eat ," keeps coming to mind. Next up? Soylent Green?

Where are they breeding these potential dining delights? It would have to be an electro-magnetically shielded zone because, evidently, insect life is most vulnerable to unnatural electro-magnetic radiation such as the cacophony created worldwide by wireless telecommunications etc.

So.... where are these insect farms? We need to MOVE THERE, set the bugs free and set up home!

I will comment a link I usually share to gross out normies, because it's directly applicable to the concept of deliberately adding bugs to food products.

bear in mind the list is intended to cover industry-unavoidable additions (due to government-approved slop in storage/production/inspection processes) rather than the rest of the GRAS toxins list. the ones with MSDS that look like synthetic vitamin D. that list is available elsewhere in the URL tree for this website, but I've lost it.

these practices have been around a LONG time. I learned of the list from an older lady I worked with in the mid 1990s, when she told me she used to work at a vegetable cannery and now couldn't eat canned vegetables anymore.

Long term exposure to chitons (insect protein) will poison your liver and kill you. This is the point. There are grubs that don't have high levels of chitons. Crickets, grasshoppers, ants, and termites do have high levels of chitons. They are edible and can prevent starvation, but a diet of continual insect protein will kill you eventually.

I would like to note that in Matthew's review of the cricket flour, he used the phrase "recommended dose," unconsciously referring to prescription medications, which are all poisons.

Also, in my researched opinion, Lauren Sanchez is a MTF tranny.

If they're talking about it they're already doing it.

Thank you for reporting on this, but how do we stop and reverse this?

If we pull out of the UN, will that do it? I’m hoping if Trump gets elected we can waive good bye to the WHO and the UN. 🙏🥴

Even countries with lots of low-income people and an excess of bugs have never seen bugs as a solution for meeting nutritional deficits. Neither have the UN and other international development agencies. Until now, funnily enough.

It would be brilliant to see our friends Klaus and Bill followed by a documentary crew as they do a 30-day -eat-only-processed bugs diet. Someone should approach them about that. How could they possibly turn it down without looking like chumps?

Imho, this bug stuff is a wonderful gift. The more outrageous the elite get, the more people catch on to their shenanigans and get up in arms.

Of late i habitually use "it's just Marketing !", or am just as dismissive by saying

"I'ts just a Cover Story !"

I'm pandering to people's deeply entrenched dis-trust, a predominant feature of modern society...

To The Curious i (briefly) explain that any claim implicating cows (red meat) in "global warming" is a

marketing cover story of those who are investing billions in Fake Meats, etc...

The mass manipulators exploit our dis-trust, use our dis-trust against us - i'm small fry by comparison...

You forgot cochineal . Already used as a food dye. It's in Presidents Choice pink lemonade, as an example.

As much as I hate Wikipedia it's the first to come up. I'm lazy.

Question: have they been incorporating all of these insects into pet food, and if so, are people buying it?

all this bug talk brought back a memory i had forgotten about. i was in the food industry for about 12 years of my life, and i remember a good friend of mine had a food truck that served oaxacan food. i remember him tell me he was going to start selling crickets as an appetizer. within 2 weeks it became his hottest selling item and he still offers them today.
