Backpacker ^ | 6/27/18 | Matt Louv

Insects are actually the most abundant protein source on the planet, and many of them boast dense concentrations of nutrients like omega 3s.

This bug eating push is nothing new. I remember over 50 years ago when Bob Barker was offering money to contestants on "Truth or Consequences", to eat chocolate covered ants and candied grasshoppers.

Still, I'm not going to eat bugs.

My take on this and my interest in this is limited to: If the SHTF, I’d like to know what bugs to eat to save my life.

That’s about it.

Yes, chocolate drenched grasshoppers were a fad in the early 70’s.

I am thinking that I will let my turkeys eat the bugs, and then I will eat them.

I predict that bugs will be ground up and processed, artificially flavored, mixed with animal protein and added to cheap foods like Hot Pockets and such. On the ingredients label, they'll be marked as something innocuous such as "organic protein". People won't even know they're eating them.

That's how bugs will be mainstreamed into our diets.

More gaslighting that they want to stop meat production.

“Eating bugs may be nothing new, but its suddenly a very hot topic.”

Just part of the liberal attitude that you have been living too well and need to suffer with lousy food, live in less space, your house needs to be colder in the winter and warmer in summer, you don’t need a nice car, you need to suffer for your sins against GAIA.

Yes, indeed. The elite want us to live in caves lit by candles while eating bugs. They of course will continue to live in mansions and dine on filet mignon.

Oh, well. I guess I’ll cooperate if it means saving the Earth and stuff.

This is the same woke stupid ass publication that rails against backpacking with knives, hatchets, camp axes and small sawa. Because Erf or something.

Everything that lives is edible, if you’re desperate enough.

That’s how you get Chinese food.

Basically, clean bugs tend to draw their nutrition from plant sources. All other bugs tend to be carnivorous or scavengers
