My wife and I raise beef cattle in Florida because the state gives us a huge discount on our property taxes on the farmland (pastures) for raising livestock. It's called an agricultural exemption.

As far as I know, they don't allow the exemption for growing or raising bugs.

So we will continue raising beef for hamburger and juicy steaks.

The only way these idiots will get people to eats bugs is if they overthrow the government and institute socialism or communism in its place. Then they can eliminate meat and force the population to exist on greens and bugs.

If they ever get that far. Armed resistance and revolution seems to fit into the equation right before being forced to eats insects. "Not over my bone-in ribeye!"

No wonder people aren't on board with "fixing" climate change, instituting carbon credits (see France and their brief glimpse at a gas tax) and giving more money to the elites to fatten their waistlines.

If they have to eats bugs to keep the temperature from rising 1 degree over a 100 years, guess what they won't be eating?

If I was a betting man, my money is still with the meat.

They can just cut out the subsidies to yourself and your wife for your farm, which is something you don’t deserve as it’s just another form of welfare, and see how they like eating bugs.

Two birds with one stone - those who depend on government handouts like yourself, and those who depend on those who depend on those who depend on those who depend on gov’t handouts.

I hear they have Palmetto bug ranches in Florida. In Oklahoma, any householder can start up an insect homestead farm by simply doing nothing. Don’t even have to buy any “livestock”. We have artisanal bugs, here, too.
