Where did the bug eating talk start? I’ve not been offered any bugs since those grasshopper candies from Archie McPhee when I was a kid. Is it another dog whistle thing?
It’s a far right conspiracy theory, that OP’s trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA’s atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it’s literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.
I’m so confused. Almost every candy store where I grew up sold cricket and scorpion lollipops. They sell them at the airport in my city too. Why are people in suddenly going crazy about shit that’s been happening for decades? And it’s not even the same country that’s changing the laws?
Not only that the hasn’t the fda approved a certain about of bugs per batch or whatever in food for decades? Aren’t like M&Ms shells made with bug shells or something? Don’t worry, I’m about to double check myself, I’m just so bewildered.
I’ve seen some scientists talk about it, but not as a “mwahahaha, we’re going to force these people to eat bugs!” kinda deal like some people seem to imply, but more just as a “this is more efficient for growing protein than traditional livestock, so there would be environmental benefits if we can persuade people to switch to it” sorta deal.
Frankly I feel like a lot of the discussion is kinda silly, advocating that there would be benefits if people try to replace some of their meat intake with insect protein is not the same thing as forcing people to eat bugs. The intention behind advocating that is not malicious, they don’t mean just any old bugs but generally farm raised ones, and besides, people already eat bugs anyway. Plenty of cultures throughout the world have dishes involving them in various ways, and beyond that, even in the western countries that a lot of this discussion happens in to my knowledge, people eat very bug-like creatures all the time as long as those creatures live underwater. Shrimp for instance.
for me it’s been since expo 2000 and I would be actually interested.
Crispy high protein snacks with a low ecological foot print?
shut up and take my money!

Yep, here’s an NPR article laying out all the details for the curious
I love those. Another good one is listing:
And saying something ironically, like “this time it will be different.”
They are purposefully hiding one tiny bit of detail thought, that Ukrainian war was started and is being fought by Russia not the US.
EU approved few insects for consumption as a novelty food and will need to pass defined standards and inspections.
But conservatives, even in US used that as an argument that they will make us feed bugs.

For it to make sense, You have to begin with the premise that ecology is a lie created by scientists to make money. 
Someone watched Snowpiercer and went nuts

Klaus schwab - head of the w.e.f. “you will eat ze bugs”
Most people don’t even know his name. But yeah, 2030 is approaching fast, gotta get the world ready for fascism and servitude.
I’m gonna lob you a softball. Don’t miss it. Both parties in the US suck, but one is openly courting fascists. Which is it?
Aaaa haha holy shit I’m stealing this conversational gambit he so fumbled it
I don’t care about politics at all. You tell me. If I wanted to argue with people online, I would probably love politics though.
Alright then
You don’t care about politics…but your username is 1984? But I suppose that’s just a part of troll tactics these days.
No I’m sadly not just trolling. If you look around you, we are living in societies like in the 1984 book.
