“Bill Gates George Soros and Al Gore can all go stuff themselves on roaches.”
It’d be nice to feed those three vermin TO roaches.
I’ll have the deep-fried spiders, please. /
Otra vez? This is being recycled-when I was a kid, there were news bites on TV, and magazine articles about this insect eating-my mom and aunts teased us-one afternoon, they told us with straight faces to go to go out in the brush near the hay barn and fill an empty coffee can with big grasshoppers for a dinner dish-they thought it was hilarious when we freaked out. Then when I was about 7, a friend of my parents who was working someplace in the Far East sent a box of chocolate covered fried ants as a present and we kids ate some before reading the box-it wasn’t bad-chocolate is chocolate...
You eat insects, me I will eat my meat and veggies with a dessert. I worked and retired so I would never have to eat bugs - ever.
you can make flour out of crickets, if anyone in Venezuela is listening.
Nope.
My second job before going to college was working at Hudson's department store in the candy department. We had about 10 boxes of assorted chocolate-covered insects. And the entire time I was there no one bought any of them. I did dust them about once a week.
The only crickets I want are the ones serenading me when I am camping.
Only if they are first lovingly frosted with glucose!
Wouldn’t you like just one waffer thin mint-flavored chocolate cricket, sir?
What could it hurt?
Thank you Gd for not making bugs kosher.
(Except that one locust)
No thanks.
I strongly prefer the bacon flavored jelly I just wrote the recipe down for.
Hmmm, might be a winner.
I like mint and I like hot peppers but I didn’t think I would like mint-pepper jelly ... until I tried it.
All this to try to convince us that we must eat bugs to save the planet.
We have the intestinal bacteria. Also, you can buy probiotics if you don’t think you have enough.
These nuts will not be happy, until we’re all eating like third world countries, minus the wildlife the rural dwellers kill and eat. That was the whole point of the new food pyramid they came up with a couple of decades ago. Between peta and globalists, we’d all be eating bugs and teff, until peta decides bugs have feelings, that is.
According to the website of one company that produces cricket flour, it takes about 5,000 crickets to make one pound of flour. And they are “humanely” killed by freezing them to death.
It does not sound like a kinder, gentler alternative to meat.
Plus, it is disgusting.
If you want to consume chitin, the fiber that the article said you will get by eating crickets, you can eat mushrooms. They also have cell walls made of chitin.
Heading off to make a cricket salad, be right back...../s
Oklahoma has some reeeeally weird looking crickets. Gray, fat, almost diamond shaped. I’d have to be almost dead from starvation to eat one of them.
I ain't one of them! But then again, I never was one to follow the crowd.........
