What’s that smell? Big Food corporations are quietly adding crickets and other insects into meal bars, cookies and snacks
Starvation News ^ | 8/16/22 | Ethan Huff

Be careful when buying “health food” as some corporations have already begun quietly adding cricket “flour” and other insect-based ingredients to products labeled “sustainable” and “nutritious.”

One company called Actually Foods is now selling a Cheddar Cheese Puffs product that contains “organic cricket flour” in the “puff” ingredients list. The product, which comes from Canada, is labeled using the terms “nutritious,” “sustainable,” and “delicious.”

The Cheddar Cheese Puffs product from Actually Foods is also branded as being high in protein because it is “powered by crickets” – the suggestion being that crickets are a “superfood.”

It turns out that Entomo Farms, the parent company of Actually Foods, is on a mission “to make cricket-based foods the first choice for individuals interested in high-quality, sustainable protein.” The company offers an entire line of products with cricket ingredients, including cricket protein powder and whole roasted crickets, both in regular and “organic.”

The FDA/USDA/whomever must immediately implement a law that food with bugs must be labeled as such.

People will no longer be able to complain about a fly in their soup. It’s protein!
Are we stealing food from birds?

All part of the process of de-industrializing the West and impoverishing its people in ungovernable lands. Crime in the USA now is nothing compared to what these Greenies and their NGOs hope to achieve.

"Peanut butter is one of the most controlled foods in the FDA list; an average of one or more rodent hairs and 30 (or so) insect fragments are allowed for every 100 grams, which is 3.5 ounces."

We are moving from limiting a maximum level of insect parts in food to mandating a minimum level.

On the road to Soylent Green…

Yes, this is their MO. The slippery slope. It’s why we have drag shows in our grade schools.

It started with sex ed class in high school.

The same evil spirit that manifested in her is creeping up all over in our evil politicians.

Sounds like a repeat of history in the making.
