Swedish Govt Spends Millions Telling Citizens To Eat Insects To End Global Warming
Breitbart ^ | 28 Apr 2016 | Oliver Lane

The Swedish government is showing their commitment to green principles and fighting climate change by spending tax payer money on developing ‘meat’ made out of crickets and mealworms.

Vinnova, the Swedish government agency that distributes money for research and development, spending some 2.7 billion kronor (£230 million) a year has announced its latest tranche of funding for creating a greener, more sustainable future — by weaning Europe off meat. It is hoped people will want to eat a so-called “climate smart” diet instead, reports FriaTider.

All of this is seriously twisted.

So, let’s make fun of their stupidity.

No, wait, people have been making fun of them for years and years on end.

But I digress.

Just another Fish Head.

There aren’t many insects to eat up there, certainly not through the winter.

But for six weeks of Summer they swarm so thick you can cut them with a knife.

I think there was a Farscape epi in which the ALF antagonist was a big honking arachnid, and after finally dispatching it, the crew had spider soup in the closing scene.

My uncle used to eat bugs, crickets and grubs.
While he was being held in a Japanese internment camp during WW II.

Said it was superior to whatever the Japs were willing to feed him.

Yeah, in the historical novel, "King Rat", towards the end, the "guests" of Hirohito in Korea were eventually reduced to eating rat and a paste made from gringing cockroaches, iirc. (Read the book in the 1970s.)

On my stack of books, I have "The Taste of War" about food during WWII. Barely started it, but in the intro, it mentions 2M Vietnamese starved to death after the tide turned against Japan.

I'm starting to think that there is some global bizarre mind-control experiment running to determine just how bizarre and stupid an idea can be, yet still draw thousands of fanatical supporters.

Global warming

Eating insects

Letting muslim sub-human terrorists into human civilization

Ted Cruz's entire campaign

Hillary's continued waste of oxygen.

etc.
