Eco Wackos Scheme About How to Make People Eat Bugs

A study -- and don't we all love new "studies" commissioned by the leftwing thought-controllers? -- says that people can be made to eat zee bugz, but virst ve must break down zeir zilly psychological aversion to eating zee "disgusting" bugz.

The "disgust factor" must be overcome if insect-based foods are to become mainstream, according to a study.
...
Hundreds of millions of people in Asia, Africa and Latin America are estimated to already eat insects to some degree.
There are hopes Western attitudes could shift over time, perhaps in a similar way that food such as sushi has become mainstream.
"Insects are a potentially rich source of protein and micro-nutrients and could help provide a solution to the double burden of obesity and undernutrition," said study lead Dr Lauren McGale, from Edge Hill University in Lancashire.

It can solve the problems of both overeating and starvation.

You're not being hustled at all. By the way, becoming trans will solve your psychological problems of aggression and shyness. Both of them!

"Some insect proteins, such as ground crickets or freeze-dried mealworms, are cheaper and easier to farm, often lower in fat and have a lower environmental impact than traditional livestock."

We're still on that "fat is bad" talking point? What is this, 1975? Did you hear that on Merv Griffin?

This is being pushed, as usual, by radical vegetarians. Every time you see a "study" attacking meat, it's by a vegetarian extremist group.

They don't care about human health, only animal welfare.

However, most people are still very reluctant due to preconceptions over taste and appearance.
But the study also found they were significantly more likely to give insects a go if they are ground into a powder.
...
Only 13% of the 603 people questioned in the UK study said they would be willing to regularly eat insect food.
Some 47% said they wouldn't eat it regularly, and 40% were unsure.
More than 82% of people expected insect food to be crunchy, 64.6% salty, and 62.4% bitter.
Only 24% said they expected to like the flavour, with just 14.1% believing insect food would look appetising.
Younger people also appeared more squeamish - and each year younger was associated with a 2% increase in saying "no" to the idea.

Their plan, I speculate, is to just start using bug powder it as filler in packaged foods and then in ground meats. They will lobby to allow adding it without disclosing to the public that the food contains bug powder. They will claim it's just animal protein -- well, not animal, but protein -- so why should they inform the public that some protein has been added?

That'll help get them over the squeamishness hurdle.

From Beege Welborne.

Apparently, in Germany, they're already adding bug powder without telling customers. People had to set up websites to inform the public of what foods the bug powder is being added to:

"We will NOT eat the bugs" 🐞 🐜 🐛 has become reality.

The German 🇩🇪 people were smart enough to develop an app which allows scanning of the products for insect 🦟 derivative ingredients. pic.twitter.com/IylwzZjwin

And yes -- they've already voted down a proposal to mandate telling the public about bug powder in their food in the Soviet State of Minnesota.

You will eat the bugs. 🐜 🐛 🕷️
Minnesota Democrats just voted no to require your food is labeled if it has bugs or bug protein. This is so GROSS! @grant_hauschild some of us would like to avoid eating insects even if you think it’s just fine. Hiding bugs in our food is gross. pic.twitter.com/9fLFAYsaZT

25 There are a lot of food allergies that aren't from the actual food on the label but from the tiny % of bugs that might get into the processing. Because of chitin.

Chitin allergies are actually one of the most prominent severe allergies in all the world. Lots of mammals, including humans, that lack chitin are often very allergic to it. But we're just going to ignore all that inconvenience because we're so into the idea of making them all eet zee bugs.

Killing most package foods is a time suck and a work suck...if you don't mind putting in both, it's not too bad. I gave up about 90% of packaged foods b/c of my allergies. It's kinda like being on the Atkins diet for processed foods now - so few options that for example, you do just have one snack size bag of chips if you want them (vs needing to binge 1/2 a real bag) b/c well, it's the same chip every time...so you just don't need many to appease the desire...b/c you get bored with it...

103 Lots of insects contain toxic chemicals that serve as an important defensive mechanism. Some of these can be quite harmful to humans.

Are they just going to grab bugs at random and grind them up? Or are they going to be selective and mass produce HUGE quantities of specific safe insects in giant farms?

That's my exact same experience on a cruise ship. It came out on a little metal serving tray with little pockets for butter and snail. Like a muffin tin. I didn't like the weird crunch and the butter couldn't change that. I do like seafood though of all kinds without the butter.
