Soo close yet soo far. FEED THE INSECTS TO POULTRY! It’s my understanding most of these insect farms are run off our food waste as well. Often being located next to cannery’s or other food packaging facilities. Perfect, now you can let all those corn and soy fields that were feeding our chickens go fallow and graze some more cattle/sheep on it. Or even just grow more crops directly for humans. Increased production through smarter use of land and resources

The goyim will have to eat bugs for the sake of the planet and to combat climate change created by institutional racism.

Those of us who are the chosen cannot do so however because of our strict religious guidelines mandated by G-d.

In reply to Iain Foulds. Two words: Conversion factor. It works all the way up the chain. I weigh about 114 pounds /52 kgand have friends that eat the same things I do, for the most part, but weigh at least twice that. Just as some cars get better mileage than others, so do some critters. Ask your local horse owner, or me, what means a horse who is an "easy keeper".

Propaganda and it's sad that the "Modern Farmer" is being caught up in the insane push to destroy farming in North America. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I’ve tried flavored chips (Chirps Chips) made from cricket flour.
They are unpalatable.
Also, they interfere with my digestion.
My stomach cannot digest the ground up carapace of the cricket.

No, it’s not.
I do not know anyone who wants to eat bugs, or wants to eat foods fortified with bug protein.

Screw eating bugs. I’m not an animal, but I do eat the bovine.

“You will eat bugs, own nothing, and be happy.” Guess again. The people pushing this are the World Economic Forum and those pushing ‘climate change’. Don’t believe anything those people say. Remember when everyone said we were heading for another Ice Age. That didn’t happen, either. Let the people pushing the eating of bugs eat the bugs, I shall never eat bugs. Period.

What total nonsense! There is nothing more earth and climate friendly than ruminants on pasture in a rotational grazing system, as opposed to tilling soil to monocrop corn and soy for any purpose. Pushing the consumption of bugs rather than pastured meat is just a way of controlling people by controlling the food supply.

This article is chock full of falsehoods & marketing propaganda aimed at people who are not farmers. Real facts matter when assessing anything.
Poor areas in third world countries often don’t have a choice but to eat insects and can’t afford more. It’s a famine food. I’m sure most would quickly drop those for better meat choices.
Secondly, these types of propaganda pushers always pick on cows (so I will focus on cows), farting & burping. Its a war on cows, with blatant misinformation (lies) as its base & meant to deceive. If every media source repeats something often enough, people begin to believe it as truth and also start to promote the lie as truth. People are easily misled.
Cows don’t fart. They also don’t burp…they bring up their cud which may sound like a belch…but it is not a belch. It is bringing up partially digested food from one stomach compartment to chew & swallow once again to digest further in another stomach compartment. I think you will find that dogs, that are over-plentiful and eat lots, fart lots and don’t give anything back food wise, but notice they haven’t been targeted. Also, using dogs and humans in particular as an example of producing lots of methane gasses, if you feed them their natural foods, they will produce less gasses…and be healthier to boot! You could start with that.
This article makes it sound as though cows are not efficient…written by someone who works with them daily? (I doubt it) They produce milk, meat, leather and manure among many other things. That manure is a natural fertilizer that is beneficial to the soil…to grow plants! So is the offal beneficial once the animal is butchered. The milk can be produced from water that is not drinkable by humans & make it safe. Can insects accomplish that? The manure supports the grass they graze on and the grains & vegetables the insects & people feed on. In the end, 100% of that cow is beneficial to us & the earth.
Iain Foulds knows his facts as well, so I don’t need to repeat his post here. Well said!
