I don't see how suggesting differn't avenues to address hunger and resources is "woke nonsense". If insects are healthy for us, why not give it a go? Furthermore, if one wants to address the many issues of mass produces livestock, why not consider eating much more veggies? Plenty of protein there as well..

Or do as they did in wartime and promote the home raising of rabbits for meat. Along with cavies, quail, pigeons, chickens etc. Small animals are great as many can eat scraps or compost as a big part of their diet in a pinch.

that'd be promoting the wrong answer.. and listening carefully you can hear the progressive ideologues as they all have one answer from the same thinking/

we saw something similar in the 1920s/30s in uk the doctors would smash the cast iron cookware to try and force the poor to eat veggies as they hated them eating meat.

people point to hitler as a veggie but reality is it was a prevalent progressive at the time like euthanise the poor, the vulnerable and sick., it was a desperate need to force compliance as liberalism came to its last gasp.. the thing is if neither hitler or stalin had created camps the liberals where already thinking of them years beforehand to remove the wrong types and save the human race..

the people today are no different, they also lack the ability to see the world outside the liberal worldview so your suggestion which is what'lll actually happen will be rejected out of hand.

wouldn't that be a warning of what happens when you adopt mad science and the risks of ultra processed foods..

The USDA inspects meat during processing and recalls anything that gets through. No such system has been proposed for food insects. No one has even studied the possibility of disease and parasites in farm raised insects that I have heard of. Wild game animals have plenty of diseases and parasites, my favorite parasites being ticks.

You need to use common sense with food safety, but anything produced on a huge corporate farm can be tainted and diseased in much larger numbers than on a family farm or the few game animals you took during hunting season. Roadkill is a bad idea. Found dead in the woods, bad idea. Nice healthy deer you take hunting season, good to go. Bessy the cow given personal attention on a family farm, good to go.

given that the factor farmers, meat or insects are out to max profits it'll all be ultra processed and risks repeating the mad science that led to CJD..

i'd believe the green lobby if it was pushing for healthy food rather than ever more ever intensive ultra processed factory farming..

Rarely an issue in our days. Mostly seems to have been exaggerated by the media. If it was an issue then we would have seen hundreds or even thousands of people dropping dead from the disease but we don't.

Not for me, no shade on cultures that do eat them, but it's not for me.

Nothing strange about it as nations on Earth have been eating insects for centuries - maybe even since human/reptilian foraging began.

In recent years, there has been a revived interest in entomophagy. Honey-pot ants, mealworms, and crickets appeal to the Australian audience. People here are willing to experience new things, not that eating insects is a novelty. Australian people have been consuming bugs as food for centuries now. Examples of dishes include roasted cockroaches and honey-flavored ants.

Not the nation I am coming from. I don't think the westerners are used to insects.

Btw when was the last time you had insects? Here in the west we prefer our good double cheeseburger please. We don't have an appetite for insects and worms.

Btw, providing a link isn't going to change reality....

It doesn't change the fact here in the US and in most other countries people don't eat insects.

When was the last time you had insects? For breakfast, lunch, dinner. I very much doubt anyone on these threads had tried insects.

Well top restaurants in the US are going in that direction. Here's another link for US reality.

They may have it. But how many people eating them?

Did you have any?

I doubt most of us will go to a top restaurant to eat insects. Most people wouldn't be able to afford them even if they wanted to try.

Sometimes I think the 'strange agenda' is in keeping everything just the way it is when it is harming the environment and torturing animals before we kill them.

I suppose you never had insects just as probably all of us here.

There is a difference between what a top restaurant may offer in its menu and what we eat. Top restaurants offering lobster which is delicious but very expensive and most people can't afford it. But possibly they can get one at their local fish market. Still expensive.

Did you forget humans are omnivores? No evidence is there we need to change our eating habits to save the world. It's just another woke idea.

I tried chocolate covered ants and a taste of a cricket meal a very long time ago. Back then the chefs were not imaginative but today's chefs have many tricks up their sleeves to incorporate the protein in such a way as if you weren't told you were eating insects, you would never know.

All we need is B12 and insects are rich in that, so there is your omnivore component.

Hmmm....

So you will be going to a top restaurant quite often to have insects? Suppose you can afford the price.
Do you think anyone will follow you?

I don't go to restaurants much because the food is subpar compared to my home cooking. Who knows? Never say never.
