The goal of gaining public acceptance for eating insects instead of meat is now part of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) effort. The larger climate change objective is to “transition” the global food supply away from cows, pigs and chickens, and toward a more sustainable lifestyle of eating insects and bugs. Farmers in North American and Europe are facing massive regulatory changes as part of the Build Back Better or Green New Deal initiatives.
In the U.S. Joe Biden has pledged his entire administration effort toward the goal of reducing U.S. carbon emissions and protecting the planet. Part of that initiative includes the need to change the diet of Americans away from traditional farm proteins, and toward sustainable alternatives via bugs and/or insects like cockroaches, crickets and grasshoppers.
A comprehensive marketing, branding and image campaign is underway to change the public perception toward an acceptance of sustainable algae and bugs as food sources. Public Broadcasting (PBS) is part of that imitative:

Several U.S. food manufacturers now include insects and bugs as part of their ingredient list. It would be worthwhile checking the labels on the latest snack foods to identify the percentages of worms and bugs that may be included in your favorite salted snack.
Additionally, a significant investment has taken place in Canada where they are now generating 9,000 metric tons of crickets to replace traditional protein sources (link). The public/private partnership in London, Ontario, is now shipping crickets for use by North American food manufacturers. There has been minimal public pushback against the effort and the government appears to be fast-tracking insects as food alternatives for global shortages of grain and meats.
In the United Kingdom, the government is now taking public feedback on the use of insects in the food supply. According to a recent public notification from the U.K. Food Standards Agency, they are working toward an acceptable standard across the industry for insects and worms in the food supply.
From the notification: “A consultation on a proposed legislated transitional period under the novel food regulations for edible insects in England, Scotland and Wales. The proposal has been developed with input from Food Standards Scotland (FSS).” (more)

As farmland across Europe and North America increasingly comes under enhanced “climate change” regulation from government, we can expect the speed of food supply transitioning to insects to increase exponentially.
There are a lot of government resources [EXAMPLE HERE] now dedicated to changing public perception. The western government alliance wants people to start eating bugs, and, more importantly, want people comfortable doing so as the energy and climate regulations increasingly limit food options.

With PBS now joining the chorus of insect food promotion; and with the increasingly discussed pending global food shortage now looming; it would appear that western leaders are following the advice from the World Economic Forum and preparing their citizens in Europe and North America to accept insects as food.
As noted earlier, you may already be eating the insects and just not be aware of it. Apparently, people who are allergic to shellfish should be more concerned and diligent about the ingredients of the food they consume, as insects may generate the same allergic reaction.

I’m not sure how everyone feels about this new effort to make bugs into food for humans, but everything about it seems weird. I will not be eating the bugs, worms, slugs, crickets, or any other creepy crawling critter regardless of “protein transfer efficiency.” Nope. Not happening.
Conduct your informed affairs accordingly.
The self-anointed guardians of the world have watched Star Ship Troopers too many times.
As if they get to tell us to do and or eat anything.
Quiet the mind, go to the Heart.
Round them up and throw these people in the deepest darkest pit forever.
let the bugs and worms have them…
You mean California?
How about the lake of fire?
Next, they’ll be pushing how to recycle human feces and urine into food.
Just kill me.
My guess is this will kill all of us. If they put grubs, worms, crickets, etc., in food now, what will it be next? Seems like the manufacturers who do “food” will do ANYTHING that stupid fraud in the wh tells them to do.
These people have lost their minds.
Soylent Green anyone?
Predictive programming?
They already take human feces from “healthy” individuals, process it into pill form, give it to someone who has digestive disorders (bad gut bacteria problems) as a cure.

The more I know, read and understand about Theodore R., the more I think he was just an absolute jerk, aiding and abetting the Progressive movement with his crazy progressive Bull Moose party which opposed a sitting, Republican President Howard Taft in 1912 and ‘gifted’ us and the world Woodrow Wilson (to his eternal shame!), America’s most abominable president before Biden (BF), reversing most of his previous ‘conservative-sounding’ positions, and utterly capitulating to the Left and paving the way to their insane amendments to the Constitution between 1913 and 1919. AND ALL OF THIS AFTER HE HAD ALREADY SERVED 8 YEARS AS PRESIDENT!!
By the way, does anyone see the strong link between our current climate manias and attendant needs to control the behavior of citizens regarding what they can eat etc, and the Eighteenth Amendment of 1919, outlawing the sale or importation of alcoholic beverages in the United States? Al Capone, anyone?
There are really so many striking parallels therein that all readers here should be familiar with.
Lastly, before people actually take up arms against political adversaries (something frequently heard), shouldn’t at least an Article V Convention of the States be convened? Is the latter any more radical or dangerous than the former??
How long do we have to wait for such a curative convention (we are the majority!)? After our BED BUG AND BEYOND sustainable(bug-filled) breakfast, lunch and dinner??
I’d say that now is the time, and not a moment later!
Can the American people trust the current politicians to do what is best for Americans?
I say no, they won’t.
To late Ted the urine recycle is on the table already in areas of dwindling fresh water supply
You may need the bugs to turn the turbines for energy production or make eatable solar panels and food wrappers crazy is what crazy does.
Soylent green is people!
So THAT’S why they’re importing all those immigrants.
LOL!
I didn’t see this mentioned yet (perhaps I missed it), but what are people going to feed their pets? There are GAZILLIONS of dog and cat owners out there (all across the political spectrum). Do you think these people are going to feed Fido and Fluffy meat while they subsist on pill bugs and roaches?
I know. I know. We’ll all be eating Fido and Fluffy soon, but long before we get there, some of the loony-toon leftists might just revolt if they can’t have their cats and dogs anymore.
They want you to get rid of your pets.
It doesn’t make headlines too often, but no more pets is part of the green agenda.
That sad picture of a WEF victim existing in a disgusting corner of a single room with a headpiece on, living in virtual reality, definitely doesn’t include a comfort animal!
Plus, who would eat a vaxxed animal? Ummm, no thank you.
We don’t even have rabies in socal and we must vax even old sick dogs now.
In my experience, my old ones die within a year of vax when old or sick.
I do rescue so I have had lots of dogs come and go…
All aboard the Snowpiercer!
Schwab, Soros, Macron, Pelosi, Schumer AOC, Warren, Sanders and all other globalist elites…FU. You first! As for me, ain’t never gonna happen. Nada! My 1/2 acre garden is doing very well thank you.
Woodworker, study the Kulaks under the Stalinist regime.
Your half acre will be confiscated when you are named a Public Enemy of the State.
Their goal is TOTAL DEPENDENCE ON GOVERNMENT. Total government control over every aspect of life and death.
Your half acre is nothing.
Sorry.
Utterly on point!
If we are looking at alternative protein sources maybe we should consider Rack of 1%-er?
Insects carry parasites, many of which are dangerous to humans….Case closed
If God intended humans to eat insects and worms, he would not have created mammals, birds, and fish for us to eat.
He would not have given us the teeth we have with which to bite and chew the creatures listed above.
Insects and worms are for birds and Australian echidnas.
There lies the problem. They don’t believe in God
I will not eat the bugs.
Lice crispies.
Fleas ‘n peas.
Quaker roach.
I’ll eat liberals before I eat bugs.
At least that made me laugh!
Yes! And all of them available (half-off with a coupon!) at BED BUG AND BEYOND for a limited time only!
I paid 7 dollars for a pound of meal worms to feed some Robins this spring. The bag may have held less than a pound but it was not more. Not so cheap and they are nasty looking worms.
All the meal worms on Amazon come from China….
You know what this tells me? It tells me there is going to be a massive and planned food shortage. (Aside from the obvious attack on farmers and fuel prices.)
They want people to get used to the idea of eating bugs now because it’ll be that or starve.
Just like the green energy scam, the plan is to make it so painful that people will alter their behavior. It’s the same playbook. All in the name of the WEF’s Great Reset.
They know people won’t do these things willingly so they create these problems and people are forced to choose.
They are just plain evil.
Agreed.
I just did a search for “processed foods that contain insects, worms”.
Many of the results included rah-rah text about how eating these things will help save our planet, and combat climate change.
They also gushed with the high protein, fiber, and vitamin concentration contained in the creatures.
It’s been in the works for quite a while. About the same time the greens first brought up cattle flatulence, the UN came up with their white papers for sustainable agriculture which is tied to the original Agenda 21.
There has been an effort to seriously reduce cattle and sheep ranching for a couple of decades. Not so much pigs (China loves pork) and chickens.
Definitely forcing the vegetarian/vegan diet on people; but I bet the likes of Schwab, Kerry, and the rest will have enough beef.
Shrimp and crawfish are about as close to eating bugs as I’m gonna get
Soylent Brown
You evil globalists can eat all the insects you want…. Good luck with that!
Can’t wait for Disney to pick up the theme … picture Mickey roasting Jiminy Cricket on the barby … or Goofy giving his pal Jiminy that hungry look and smacking his lips … or one of Donald Duck’s nephews standing on the porch with Jiminey Cricket in a bun.
And don’t forget Bugs Bunny i.e., bugs in a bun.
Okay but the proponents of this measure need to go first by force if necessary. Like an episode of fear factor!
Somehow, this is like, “let them eat cake”, while they eat whatever they want.
Technically all mass produced foods include insects it is inevitable. Just not in large quantities. Sure you can survive on the protein from insects in a survival situation. But there is little actual danger. These people just want to force the world to eat bugs to eliminate livestock farts which cannot possibly be responsible for global warming. This is a dystopian concept to punish the meat eaters.
I will leave the country before I eat bugs…these people are out of their minds…it will take at least a decade to get to where everyone in the country can rely on on “green energy ” (if it is even possible) so to cut off our oil and gas and make us suffer a recession because they are zealots is insane. PLEASE vote Republican and get these lunatics out of our lives.
That AOC had the audacity to attend the Met Ball in an (expensive) designer gown emblazened with “Tax the Rich “when she KNEW she had not paid her NY taxes since 2017, tells you all you need to know about the Dems: Rules for thee, but not for ME!!!!!!
These commie leftists are sick. It’s not about the environment, it’s about control…
Let the NWO and Biden riffraff eat bugs all they want.
UGH!!!
DOUBLE-BUG UGLY!!
Now I can’t UNSEE that!!!
Remove the Turds…
Before they remove YOU.!.
What about humane treatment of insects? We need to get PETI organized. Insects have rights too. And by the way, Soylent Green is people!
Here is my plan. Let the liberals/dems/commies eat the bugs. Also I think they should pay Biden’s $6/gal for fuel while us conservatives pay Trump price at $1.86. They can pay the increase in our taxes also, since they like to tax. Every one of them should take in at least 10 illegals, since they want them here. i.e. make these liberal idiots pay for their stupidity.
The crazies are in control ! How easy our government has been bought off.
Correct! BUT THIS TIME, per my comment above, we have to beat and crush the progressives, not cave to them as Theodore Roosevelt did at the start of the Twentieth Century.
So the self-appointed “rulers” not only want to replace God’s established Law for society (natural Law) with their Pagan-esque “rules-based society” but they also want to demote us on the food chain…. leaving us right next to the bottom-feeders and other lower animals.
Shame on them for their godlessness and hubris and for changing “the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things”…. but especially for trying to force the rest of us into participating in their twisted madness.
Today they’re pushing bugs. Tomorrow Soylent Green.
Part of their agenda
https://oculumlabs.com/about-the-csrq-sm-software-financial-reset/
So we start eating insects and discover the insect pollinators depend on the insects we’re eating.
We wipe out the insects they eat. Plants don’t propagate and suddenly it’s Save the Insects! Save the Earth! Eat Meat!
I’m gonna be eating like the Amish over here, no damn bugs for me!
Wouldn’t that be cannibalism for that bunch??????????
you got it Sundance. Nope. Not happening.
Let those that manufacture these products eat them.
However……if the food shortage predictions are true, we are all going to have to grow some food even if
we do not know how.
Are they true?
I’ve been saving seeds…
It’s part of their plan. Mass starvation, then mass compliance, digital currency to enforce compliance and its all tied to them allowing you to do what they say. The elite are exempt. This is coming, and there is nothing our elected officials will do to stop it. We’ve seen that. November won’t help, 2024 won’t save us. It is up to US and we best put our differences aside with as many leftists we can that are on the same page with us about this. They are intentionally dividing us because they know that together they can’t stop us. It’s coming, climate agenda will be used to take your land/food. Do what you need to do to be ready, and make acquaintances on both sides if possible
The funniest thing I’ve ever seen in a long time is that the family of the little girls ignored by the “racist” Muppet are suing Sesame Street!!! The wokest show on the wokest network ever!! They’ve obviously run out of people to go after, so they are left with attacking each other from within. Love it!

Don’t know what’s going on there, but it seems like yet another Democrat scam before the election…
I’m in ad sales – you know where I am headed right now….
If there was an America First Party in DC they could exploit the bug situation to their advantage.
I said in an earlier comment that there have not been studies done regarding the potential dangers posed by farming and eating bugs. But a quick google search turned up the one below.
Read it before it is scrubbed.
Parasites potentially transmissible to humans from eating bugs include the following sampling:
Cryptosporidium: “were detected in the digestive tract and other body parts of all evaluated insect species. In our opinion, insects are an underestimated vector of Cryptosporidium spp., and they significantly contribute to the spread of these parasites.”
Isospora: “These parasites pose a threat for both humans (in particular immunosuppressed individuals) and animals. were detected on the surface of the body and in the intestinal tracts of insects. In our opinion, the presence of Isospora spp. in edible insects results from poor hygiene standards in insect farms.”
Balantidium: “In our study, potentially pathogenic ciliates were detected even in insect farms with closed habitats.”
Entamoeba: Entamoeba histolytica can cause dysentery in humans and animals, whereas E. invadens is particularly dangerous for insectivorous animals such as reptiles and amphibians.”
“Cestoda colonize insects as intermediate hosts. Cysticercoids, the larval stage of tapeworms such as Dipylidium caninum, Hymenolepis diminuta, H. nana, H. microstoma, H. citelli, Monobothrium ulmeri and Raillietina cesticillus: ….. The results of our study indicate that edible insects play an important role in the transmission of tapeworms to birds, insectivorous animals and humans.”
There are five more, but you get the idea.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6613697/
Hopefully someone is putting together a complete list of products presently including insects for a future article here – Soon !!!
I’ll feed the bugs to my chickens and continue to eat eggs and meat.
What about the parasites found in bugs , hookworms anyone ?
See myu comment a couple comments above for an article about parasites transmissible to humans from eating bugs
Stage 2 will be “Soylent Green”
This administration and all who support their cockamamie lunatic ideologies and agendas can go straight to hell
Hell no….
So not only will we be happy to own nothing and have a digital ID that tracks our every move and what we can buy or sell, we will be enthusiastically eating all kinds of bugs and “lab meat!” God help us!!
Princeton High School (NJ) has an insect eating club (I’m totally NOT surprised by this–they loved the tyranny of the covid psyop):
https://phsresearch.com/2021/06/02/insect-eating-club-cicada-tasting-may-2021/
(I’m still thinking about leaving a snarky comment, thanking them for cooperating with the global oligarchs’ Great Reset agenda)
Nacho Crickets.
I might smoke a roach, but I will never eat a roach.
And when you have proven you will eat bugs, next up is you will be left homeless. Much easier to find bugs that way.
I have a feeling none will be made homeless.
We will have our choice of an 10 x 8 room shared by four in a cheerful concrete Patriotic Workers Dormitory tower or in one of several remote labor gulags if we misbehave.
In either case bugs will still be on the menu!
Will PBS start endorsing to eat boogers for our global effort to save our planet? Idiots!!!
Will the overabundance of corpses to come from starvation be left unutilized?
Or will Soylent Green become supplemental to out diet of insects and bugs?
No, but they’ll do a whole series on eating smegma …
