Jiminy Cricket may be able to do more than guide our consciences: he, or his kin, may also provide food security solutions for a growing and hungry world. However, the notion of insects-as-food struggles to find widespread traction amid problems with standardization of food safety standards, government disinterest and only a small body of research. So is there a future for cricket sushi or fried silk worms?

If that is true why has the price of food skyrocketed. also I am questioning Slim Jims.
I like chipolines but, not eating as replacement to steak, chicken, fish
Just about everything you eat contains bugs and dung. Usually, you just can’t see it.
It’s a fact of life and always has been.
Eat up and enjoy.
Whether or not bugs and mouse turds have been in food I’ve eaten, and I’ve survived, doesn’t mean I’m going to make a steady diet of eating bugs and whatever dung they came from. Meat, veggies & fruit. Wash the fruit & veggies, cook the meat, I’m good to go. Why the push to eat this stuff anyway? I’ve got a half dozen or more deer in my yard every day. Going to start eating them too. No shortage of meat around here, and we grow our own veggies. Save the bugs for the wing-nuts, and politicians, we have some stink bugs they can have.
Shut up and eat your bugs. Or don’t.
I had a Thai friend years ago. He would grab the paper wasp nests around the base and eat the larva. They were like eating little pieces of candy. Not that I’m going to go along with the WEF goal of having us begging them for cricket paste. I prefer to turn my bugs in to eggs and meatwith my flock of chickens.
I don’t think I’d willingly eat a dish of bug larvae either.
But I know we’re eating them all the time, unknowingly - and we probably wouldn’t be here now, if some of our distant ancestors hadn’t resorted to them :-)
Now you have me wondering, just how you go about grabbing a wasp’s nest by the base without incurring the wrath of dozens of adult wasps?
I read that insects feel pain,
and we’ve heard that plants do as well,
What the hell are we to do?
PLEASE save us World Enslavement Forum !
LOL! I wondered that, too.
Not in my life.
I’m not trying it until I have very precise instructions. :P
Growing or buying your own real food and preparing it yourself is by far and away the biggest and best guarantee of the purity of your food.
Anything I an up like tomato sauce and pressure and veggies is as contaminant free as you’re going to get. No parts per billion of mouse droppings or cockroaches in this household’s food production facilities.
Same thought occurred to me.
And no, I am *NOT*** interested in trying it.
Honey is worth a few bee stings I reckon. A few!
I wouldn’t take two wasp stings for an 8 oz. filet mignon. Maybe one. :)
Not only can you guarantee the cleanliness, It tastes better, is healthier, and you know it’s fresh and where it came from. How much of the grocery store items ingredients come from countries that don’t consider us their friends? They put poison in dog & cat food, why not human’s food?
Exactly.
Since many grocery store items don’t include the country of origin, I’m immediately suspicious. I then presume it’s China and someone doesn’t want you to know.
The other thing is, having grown the stuff myself, or bought farm fresh eggs that I know are only a couple days old tops,
and seeing how long they keep compared to how long the stuff from the stores lasts, it shows just how long the stuff has been sitting around in storage.
Potatoes and onions do NOT sprout so soon after harvesting. But when they do a few days after bringing them home, it speaks volumes.
And eggs that are runny and have flat yolks are NOT fresh. I’ve kept farm eggs in my fridge for easily a couple months with no deterioration in quality.
Some of the old sayings are still true today, like “You are what you eat”.
