McDonalds has announced they are dropping their program testing plant-based meats because people didn’t like it.
As noted by the Washington Times, “other trials at Panda Express and Yum! Brands (KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut) have also ended without a subsequent product launch. Beyond Meat products at Dunkin’, Hardee’s, and A&W have been discontinued after launching.”
Apparently, American consumers do not want to eat fake meat; at least not fake meat made from plants.
Next up…. Bug meat.
Newz , just now : Climate change makes it hot so kids stay inside causing obesity .
Just throw it at the wall and see what sticks.
Pretty much, yeah.
They make it up as they go.
And obesity causes them to release greenhouse gases which causes more global warming…
Although hard to imagine, but McDonalds feasibly could end up being NetFlix’d if the woke tards/ virtue signalers in charge continue down this path.
My prediction, is they try as stupid is limitless, but reality will hit them and the in-charge- tards will drop this like O’Biden falling off a stationary bike.
Even the greenhairs won’t eat that shyt. They may order it in a group but that’s it.
So try to sell animal meat where the intestines and feces are left in the animal.
Who is going to fillet the bugs? Oh, you eat the intestines and feces too.
Let me know after the WEF cultists, including the Trudeau family, has been eating bugs at every meal for a year.
Whatever they have planned for us, should be reserved for them.
Like Haman, in the Book of Esther.
AMEN!
Excellent reference and perfect response.
And think about bug-borne illnesses like Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria) or West Nile virus. Are the bug purveyors ensuring that their bug products are free of pathogens? We know how to handle e. coli and salmonella.
my sister has become allergic to red meat because of a tick-borne disease called alpha-gal syndrome (I think alpha-gal refers to a carbohydrate molecule in meat, milk, cheese, etc)
gets an anaphylactic reaction, throat starts to close, has to self-inject with an epi-pen
but then she has to get to an emergency room right away because the epinephrine jacks all your vitals way up (heart rate, breathing)
and they administer counter-measures to bring you back down from the epinephrine
so every time it’s an afternoon gone and a scary episode
so yeah – no telling what kind of viruses and bacteria are in bugs
Can she still eat chicken and turkey though?
I think one can if you have alpha gal
And I have always been wondering about the origins of alpha gal. Did the “science” labs genetically tweak ticks so people wouldnt be able to eat red meat?
Bugs are why God made bats.
CDC site says chicken and turkey are ok
https://www.cdc.gov/ticks/alpha-gal/products.html
… but no beef or pork or venison (husband’s a hunter) or cow milk or products with them as ingredients (lard?)
Read here at the Treehouse that they are loaded with parasites, too.
I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve been constantly pathetically sick for 15 years now. Part of me thinks that it’s not Lyme after everything we have seen now.
And insects are loaded with parasites, which may or may not be dangerous for humans…
AND insecticides
Because they eat plants and weeds and worms that are laden with Montesanto’s Roundup which causes cancer
They’re building special “factories” to grow insects for human food in the US, so maybe you’re safe from the pesticides aspect 😉unless they deliberately feed them GMO plants.
The Turdeau family will be dining $65.00/lb Japanese beef while YOU eat bugs…
Yep. You first commies.
My fave phrase…”You first!
“So try to sell animal meat where the intestines and feces are left in the animal. Who is going to fillet the bugs?“
They got these really, really tiny fillet knives, Kam
… promise
This is why bugs are a huge reservoir of disease and parasites…. it’s like they want us all to die.
Do you know how hard it is to herd crickets as opposed to herding cows?
And those tiny little lassos… darn near impossible to throw.
😉
LETS GO BRANDING!
Sheriff , they stole my whole herd ….. of crickets
Imagine a CAFO with a billion crickets. The noise would be deafening.
I can’t wait for a cricket rodeo! Many young men will undoubtedly want to become Cricketboys and ride the range lassoing maverick crickets.
Yay! A return of Western Movies!
Man on a Pale Cricket!
The Good, The Bad, and The Crunchy
It is really really hard to get your brand on those tiny little bugs.
even harder to milk the lil buggers….
Yep breaking ’em is quite the ride! Gives them bulls and broncs a run for their money!
What does one sing to crickets to keep them from stampeding?
marty robbins ?
Like ye old flea circuses!
It is impossible. As a caver I see thousands of them on a regular basis. They do line up nicely in formation on the ceiling though.
And timing is everything, trying to get ’em before the hop!
I’m old enough to remember when restaurants would get cited and closed down by the Board of Health for insects in the kitchen. Now it’s a feature, not a flaw.
Simpsons did it again ? – Episode where mobster Fat Tony is selling rat milk to the school lunch program.
Also this is for realz : A college student ate a big yellow slug on a dare , lost his limbs from infection.
The slug itself was edible ( per se ) but the bacteria in the slug ruined that young man.
I recall a similar story, if not the same, where the young man had brain damage as well.
It was genuinely pitiful.
For a dare to eat a bug.
Saw that too. Very sad ending to a seemingly harmless dare.
geez, that’s why man invented fire
and cooking
The slug story was set in Australia and the young man died after a few years. His mom was his primary caregiver and she was angry at her son for getting drunk and eating the slug. I didn’t even think he was dared?
Yes I also read a story where the person died.
Slugs carry a variety of parasites. Chickens can get Gapeworm from eating slugs.
Yeah but those crickets are so much cleaner. I hear they are best at medium rare
Maybe not. https://www.palmbeachpost.com/story/news/local/2012/10/09/west-palm-man-collapses-dies/7417261007/
S. FL is chock-full of dumbasses, I assure you.
My dog likes them raw.
My little weenie dog loved June Bugs. Crunch, crunch, crunch. Ate ’em like popcorn.
“Not bad once you get past the legs.” (from movie ‘Hidalgo’, on eating locusts)
Please tell me that the worm at the bottom of the tequila bottle is ok. Please!
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Sorry, I could not resist
The only bugs I eat are lobsters
Mudbugs, lil swamp lobsters too.
“Bugs” with butter!
I do 100% of my cooking at home, but IF I did go out to eat, I would shun any restaurant that served bugs
I’ve worked in restaurants, things get mixed up in the back
Crickets are good luck. I always capture them if they get into the house and then let them go outside. I would never eat one!
I have a 20 pound Maine Coon cat that gets crickets before I can save them.
Those crickets are not good luck for themselves once she sees them!
huntsmen spiders are cat prey
By Jiminy, I wouldn’t either!
Crickets are plain nasty! The luck you get is from getting it away from you and others. Parasites, bacteria, every pathogen they crawl through…. I remember stepping on one as a kid, the tapeworm that came out was several times longer than the cricket…my brother still remembers it to this day too.
….chop it up and eat it….sheep will eat anything!… and like it.
even fish won’t eat a black cricket….it’s the country cockroach!
“Country Cockroach”! I haven’t heard that term for a cricket in years!!!
Never tried. But I tie Bully Spiders for panfish, an impression of a cricket, and have never tried all black. Brown and chartreuse mainly. Same for the Daveys Cricket, a pretty good dry fly facsimile, have only tried in brown. I now want to test what you are saying.
Black Letort Cricket is a go to summer terrestrial for my local wild browns. Black works quite well.
Had a bearded dragon that lived over 15 years and ate them by the dozens. Wed stick him in a big plastic tote for feeding and he’d gorge himself. Crickets couldn’t climb out and we didn’t have to chase any out of the cage. Had to watch the beardie, he’d jump the side and crawl over it.
You could have made a mint with just such a YouTube channel. Live feeding vids are the rage.
When my grandson was little we let him have Anoles and Geckos. As well as a tree frog.
Had to go to the pet store regularly where they had the crickets by the hundreds in plastic totes. Paid 5cents ea. at the time.
I got tired of having to go so often so bought me a plastic tote, twice the number of crickets I usually bought and the cricket food.
Yes, had to feed the crickets too. Lol Would also dust them with this powder stuff which provided healthy nutrients and/or meds to the anoles and all when they consumed them.
Anyway, lo and behold within a few weeks I had my very own cricket production/farm going on in that tote!
They did Love them! But I don’t miss them (the crickets) at all now and having raised them.. Yuck!
Won’t catch me eating one!
This Klaus Schwab ,WEF Build Back Better, Great Reset, New Green Deal and the Manchin/Schumer Climate scam sellout really “bugs me”.
Let those elitist frauds eat crickets. I bet Joe, Gayle and their Mylan Pharm epi pen rip off daughter Heather won’t be eating “bugs’ anytime soon. That whole insane crowd can eat 💩 as far as I am concerned, but I won’t be eating any YUM Brand Bugs, just like I refused to eat their Yum plant based fake meat. 🤮
If you stop to think about it, all meat is plant based albeit indirectly. And if the idiots at McDonalds thought that McPlant was a good name for fake meat then they deserve to lose their shirts for pure stipidity. Hey, guys, if you want a vegan burger option, use black beans and come up with a compatible condiment to go with it. Call it McBean. You’re welcome.
“Apparently, American consumers do not want to eat fake meat; at least not fake meat made from plants.”
Why would they like it?
People know what they like, most people know what they are going to order before they ever get to a fast food restaurant.
Why in the world would those people decide to order synthetic food?
Just to join the new pagan enviro religion?
The desire to virtue-signal may be strong for the Wojaks, so long as it costs them nothing, either immediately or materially.
But if they’re paying for something to put in their pie-hole, most of them are only going to buy what they know and actually like the taste of.
And that’s not fake meat.
As for bugs, that’s a hilarious non-starter and always has been.
It’s so ridiculous that no one could possibly take it seriously, except as a form of psychological warfare on the populace.
Anybody here gonna eat bugs?
Yeah… nobody else is, either 😂
Thing is they already had real market experience, not ‘market testing’ to confirm this.
They have had faux bacon, and similar products on the market for years.
You see them in your grocery stores, the small display of faux bacon, next to the massive case of real bacon; the size of the display is a direct reflection of the demand.
A few virtue signallers eat it. A few people totally decieved into believing cholesterol causes arterial plaque, and thats about it.
“If only shoppers had NO CHOICE, ….THEN they would buy our product!”
Whether in the marketplace of goods and services, or in the marketplace of ideas, Conmunists can NOT compete. Hence, they MUST cheat.
If my choice was eat bugs or go hungry, I would go hungry.
…and then bugs will soon eat you😉
They’re building insect factories for human food as we speak. After they eliminate all farming and ranching by drought and skyrocketing food costs, that’s all that will be on the shelves. “If shopper’s had no choice – they will buy our product.”
“Next up…. Bug meat.”
Bugs are something that restaurants get shut down by health inspectors for having on the premises.
Any restaurant that brings bugs into the restaurant on purpose, and puts bugs on the menu, is an automatic boycott for life.
You want to eat burgers cooked on the same grill as the cockroach meat?
You want your food to be handled by the same people handling the cockroach burgers?
Do you even want to take the chance?
Any restaurant that tries this insanity should lose ALL patrons, immediately and *permanently*… 😂🤣😂
“You want to eat burgers cooked on the same grill as the cockroach meat?”
Thaaaaat’s a point most wouldn’t think of!
Yeah, they can argue it’s sanitary because of the heat, but NOOOOOOBODY will want their steak with bug flavor from the grill.
Now, about the deep fried bugs……
Legs, antennae, and other bug remnants floating around in the cooking oil will be miiiiiighty appealing to the climate change crowd!
On the up side for the restaurants, those bugs in the salad ingredients on the salad bar are high quality protein! All the cool climate change kids are chasing them down and eating them……
Street food in China includes crickets, still twitching scorpions, moth larva, maggots, small bats….. you name it on skewers. The natives were chowing down on them like Americans and Costco hot dogs.
Never got the courage to try, even being double dog dared.
squinting helps you to not see clearly what you are eating
Das’ Rayciss ….
“Das’ Rayciss….”
When everything is rayciss, how can anything be rayciss anymore?
Lol
Joe Jackson wrote a song called Big World, about travel experiences
Looking over hong kong harbour
Throw a shrimp in yellow wine
Eat it when it ceases moving
Just before is fine too
my favorite verse, comments on hallucinogens
Sitting on a beach in bali
Tried to reach and grab a cloud
Looked so much like cotton candy
And I’m feeling god-like
Could it be just what I’m eating
Only mushrooms after all
And with juice of avocado
I should live forever
Don’t forget the freshly-skinned snakes and tiger wangs. Vile, lost culture.
“Street food in China includes crickets, still twitching scorpions, moth larva, maggots, small bats….. you name it on skewers. The natives were chowing down on them like Americans and Costco hot dogs.”
So now we know EXACTLY where this latest cultural assault comes from, and who is behind it.
Like drag queen story hour. If that was suddenly being forced on everyone in china, everyone in china would know it came straight from San Fran Sodom.
I remember reading an article about meat-free dog food made from crickets and spirulina. If you don’t know what spirulina is, it’s cyanobacteria (photosynthetic bacteria). Yum, eh? I feel sorry for all dogs forced to eat this crap.
Did you see the live stream of the vegetarian libtard, that was going to demonstrate that her dog actually PREFERRED vegimeat dogfood, to steak?
It was HILLARIOUS as the dog gobbled down the steak, and the owner was shocked, dismayed, etc.
But was the dog owner “offended”?!?
Always funny watching a liberal being introduced to reality like that!
Are those free range crickets? How much living space does each cricket have while they are in captivity? When they are slaughtered for market are they led by a Judas Cricket? Are they ever tested for mad cricket disease?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nope, nope, nope. But, you see, crickets don’t jump over the moon, so…! 😉
No, it’s a “CAFO”, concentrated animal feeding operation. They have few rights in their gulag.
I have been researching protein sources from vegetarian foods. Combine a legume with a grain in your meal and you get a complete protein food. It can be as simple as a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread. Or a bowl of red beans and rice… hummus and pita… bean dip and corn chips… peas and pasta…
A couple of great lists for combining plants to make complete proteins:
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/complete-protein-for-vegans
https://www.soupersage.com/complete-protein-pairings/barley
That Soupersage page is very good, thanks. I frequent the healthline page and it’s very useful for our nutritional needs because of foods that my family has problems with.
JERF (just eat real food) is our motto and it has totally made us healthier.
If it didn’t have a mother don’t eat it. If it wasn’t grown in the ground dont eat it. Eliminates processed foods, and yes, you’ll quickly feel much better.
The only meat I eat is seafood. I eat a lot of fakey burgers, hot dogs and sausages made from vegetables. I think they are delicious. If I could live on nothing but seafood and fruit, I would. If I’m at a customer’s home and they make me a real hamburger I will eat it in a heartbeat but for myself, I won’t buy beef, pork or poultry. I’d buy it for guests. I just feel better avoiding some foods. I have no medical dietary restrictions, I just eat what I enjoy. I love hot and spicy foods.
As long as your happy and healthy, right?
We (me especially) love spicy food. I just avoid fake anything because of ingredients I can’t pronounce.
A big portobello cap on the grill basted with garlic & olive oil, filled with fresh spinach and melted Havarti cheese on a kaiser roll is a regular in our house.
The Boogey with Stew, right?
Bububu but how is Bill Gates going to make money off of this? Total common sense, available to everyone… where’s the angle for him to control us all?
Exactly. Just eat real food. We (generally speaking) eat more animal protein than we need anyway. Let Bill eat his own crickets and worms.
Good to know, for the many times I have made a quick small meal out of a whole grain wasa cracker slathered with hummus – or two of them – and was a bit concerned to be missing protein….
what’s the over / under on the names not really reflecting their actual insect ingredients?
chitin and insect parasites are really bad news in a human body
That’s what I’m wondering about, digesting that chitin exoskeleton? I think it would be very hard to digest.
It’s upsetting my stomach just to think about it. Then the insect and soil parasites on top of that. No way would I subject my body to that.
They are disguising it in the “ingredients list” by giving different “bugs” different unpronouncable names. I saw it on a food label.
Just to be rebellious, I’m going to throw some steaks on the grill.
I grilled a couple of nice t-bones last night.
I watch vegans ” what I eat in a day” on YouTube and the common theme is to stay away from the fake meat.
Fake meat is heavily processed to mimic something else. Like the blue box mac n fake cheese. Do you think Kerry eats his own processed garbage food? Lol, there’s your answer.
You can bet the claim of less greenhouse gasses is a distortion (crickets fart, too) and a ranch with 100 billion crickets (i.e. the size of an operation sufficient to replace a cattle ranch) is gonna put out methane.
And all the transport of product is going to be the same. Which weighs more, a pound of beef, or a pound of bugmeat?
Still, they are the Coca-Cola executives, insisting that the reason New Coke isn’t selling, is because of the MESSAGING, and even as they are developing new New Coke advertising, they are quietly buying up all competitors products, and changing their recipes, so they also taste like crap, or simply stopping production.
Much as the “Dem party” did with the “Rep party”,…
I WILL eat green eggs and ham,…but I will NOT eat bugs, and they can’t make me!
If you’ve ever bought crickets at the petstore, the SMELL of their little aquarium is astronomically gross. I’ve smelled feedlots, too. Somehow, I imagine the smell of frass (insect feces) from a trillion crickets would actually produce much more methane and be much more unappealing.
The most successful species, the dinosaurs, roamed the earth for 300 million years. One would think that the amount of so called greenhouse gases produced by them over that amount of time would have left the earth completely barren.
Be very careful, the libs will just change the death of the dinosaurs from a meteor strike to climate change.
The reply would be, “you mean at least 300 million years from now, climate change will make us extinct?”
Most fake meat is just not that great tasting. One of the better ones is MorningStar Farms sausage patties… not as good as real sausage, but definitely decent. The best of any kind that I know of is the “Impossible Whopper” at Burger King. It’s actually pretty close to the real thing. But the problem with ANY fake meat is not just trying to get the taste/texture right. Only a few have even come close so far. But what gets me is the PRICE. From what I’ve seen, most fake meat companies sell their stuff for MORE than real meat! Totally, 100% backwards in my opinion. They’ve already got an uphill battle in getting people to try it, taste-wise. So do they at least make it cheaper? NO, of course not! Idjits. 🙂
Agree with the “Impossible Whopper” and “MorningStar” opinions. Also agree with your opinion on prices.
“sell their stuff for MORE than real meat Totally, 100% backwards”
Their initial target consumer is the Starbucks / Whole Foods electric-car sandal-slappers who are used to paying a premium (read: twice as much) for their free-range, non-dairy, lactose-free new-age foods
They pay without thinking
Only when they need to expand their market will cost come into consideration
FYI…electric cars are doomed also
Doom is our future as planned by the Left.
They are not really into humanity.
So, I was coasting down memory lane last night watching a movie about a high school student who builds a 50 kiloton atomic weapon for the state science fair and actually burst out laughing when another participant, asked what his exhibit was, extolled the science and virtue of making bugs into human food.
For the buffs of cheesy 80’s flicks, the movie was ‘Manhattan Project‘. I’d actually found it from watching an old ‘House’ episode and wondering why I recognized an actress in it, turned out to be Cynthia Nixon, and not only was she in that cheese flick, so was ‘Wilson’ from House; it was his first movie as a pimply faced teenager.
Who said getting old wasn’t interesting? Heh.
I haven’t eaten at McD’s since the 80’s and won’t be sampling any of their fine cuisine, insect or otherwise, anytime soon.
Last weekend I went offshore fishing and brought home some salmon and crab. Last night I bbq’ed salmon and finished it off on the bbq by topping it with cheese and piles of crab meat and letting the cheese melt it all together. When Mc D’s starts to serve food like this, maybe I’ll go there.
When Mc D starts serving food like that, I’m gonna homestead the place.
Do you have a drive through? Asking for me and good eats😏
Yechhhhh to either…McDonalds customers showing common sense, unlike McDonalds executives…Who the hell would eat bug meat?
You and me, if Klaus and gang “have it their way”. It’s a big pass for me.
Even if what they say about eating bugs is true regarding the climate, nobody will eat it because it just grosses people out. The environmentalists cant ever get past that fact.
Also, humans have been eating meat forever. You can’t at this point in human development just reinvent the wheel regarding our diets.
“Also, humans have been eating meat forever. You can’t at this point in human development just reinvent the wheel regarding our diets.”
Well, males and females have been mating forever, too, but there is a faction of the left that has been trying to phase THAT out, too.
You and I and the rest of the human race didn’t get to the top of the food chain only to be forced to eat bugs…..
Walking downtown tonight I noticed mice or ? running across the sidewalk. Closer examination: cockroaches so huge they could be grilled, filleted and skewered.
Simple carry a sign down the sidewalks – “Don’t eat roach ‘meat’ ”
Roach protein has been nominated as a food candidate for its efficient generation. potential.
No accusations but I would think food brands would then avoid any bug food like the plague, lest you drive potential customer outrage at them and avoidance reflex through the stratosphere if they are selling bug foods.
I heard of someone battering and frying up a cockroach,to take into restaurants, to get a meal comped for free.
When I was a wee lad, I gulped down 24 live lightning bugs on a dare.
They tasted like cabbage and the next morning my poop blinked a vibrant phosphorescent yellow symphony of light in the toilet.
Got to stay home from school that day because my mom figured I was suffering from some weird form of jaundice.
That.Is.Awesome!
Did a screenshot of your post to send to my son.
Man alive that’s funny!
Get a photo of the glowing morning evidence.
LIGHTNING BUGS ARE THE NEW ENERGY SOURCE TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE!!!!
Lightning bugs to power electric vehicles!
Man alive I hope a liberal has not thought of my government subsidized idea before me!
We are going to have to be smart. They aren’t going to expect us to willingly dig into a salad with grasshopper legs sprinkled on top or anything like that. They are going to refine it so much they will claim it is comprised of the same stuff as other biological based products we already eat. It all comes down to molecules and proteins and it’s all the same in the end. So they will say. Don’t fall for it.
‘Shop the perimeter’ of the grocery store. Most processed food is in the aisles and freezers.
Notice the”Kra Pow” on the sign. Is that the store? Or a critique of the food?🙃
Were they filming a TV “Batman” episode?
Out: Breakfast tacos.
In: Cricket tacos.
Well, if you put cricket tacos IN, you’ll definitely want them OUT!
Out: avocado toast
In: avocado cricket guac.
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
the evil of ‘greenhouse gas’, a completely subjective term than can mean whatever the speaker implies.
kinda like an ‘impossible’ burger (made from plant gunk) then marketed as if it was ‘impossible to “taste” so good’
same people who liked it are wearing face diapers, ALONE, in their CAR they hate (but still drive ’cause a Tesla needs a 15 year mortgage)
Some of you people carry on like a vegetable burger is the same thing as a bug burger. It’s a far cry from loving vegetables to wanting to eat bugs. I’m a construction worker who drives a Dodge B350 MaxiVan and motorcycles without a mask. I firmly believe that MOST people here that abhor veggie burgers could be fooled into eating one without any complaints. If you’ve never had one, don’t knock it. Since when did eating vegetables become such a horrid thing?
Huge difference between eating vegetables in whatever form someone chooses to cook/steam/bake, groil, fry, etc at home, and eating bugs and any other parasites, diseases, or pesticides they maybe carrying…
I won’t eat bugs unless I was lost in the forest and hadn’t eaten in days. Maybe after a week?
If you love vegetables so much, just eat vegetables. They are delicious. What is the obsession with trying to make foods taste like other foods. I would never want to make beef taste like a salad.
Genuinely I am curious about this.
I was a huge skeptic until I tried the veggie burger at my local biker bar. I was amazed.
You Americans and your uppity ways…
Are you Jamaican?
Are you a child?
My Jamaican girlfriend’s catchphrase is exactly “You Americans and your uppity ways.”
She has the most beautiful accent.
Good Lord…people are stupid!!!!
Co2 GREENS the planet. It increases the size and yield of plants…greenhouse growers have used Co2 generators for years.
A greener planet is a more moderate planet.
Meaning…the ENTIRE global warming concept is complete BS!!!!
That’s why they suddenly switched to nitrogen reduction.
Yes. Humans and plants are symbiotic. More plant growth means more oxygen released by them, which means more humans can be supported, which means more CO2 may be available for the plants, which means more plants making more oxygen for humans……. satellite photos right now show more plant growth on the planet!
Except for all that deforestation of the rainforests going on, and all “wildfires” caused by “climate change”.
Ummmm….I’ll have a Big McCricket w/Flies and a Soy Float……nah……never mind.
Would you like a real ‘root’ floating in your root beer float?
If it’s sassafras, then yes.
I make mine from the roots, not the leaves.
Wonderful flavored tea.
I also make wintergreen and pine needle
you lot on this page are killing me my sides are hurting to much laughing
Why does my junior cheeseburger taste nutty? I remember the F117 pilot shot down over Bosnia saying ants taste a little like lemon.
posted on the open thread yesterday, but it’s appropriate here as well
—
Last week I was telling a story about this tribe of primitive hunter-gatherers in Africa
A Western journalist asked one of the elder chiefs what was the meaning of life, or the most important thing in life
… expecting some kind of cosmological answer, perhaps
But his reply was very practical
“Meat”
“and honey!”, one of his younger cohorts piped up
They hunt baboons. I’m sure the womenfolk grind up roots and berries and insects and such too.
But for the men, it’s meat
You can tell that they’re ecstatic if they have both meat and honey
So good luck with them grasshoppers, WEF
Meat is as old as the ancients, prized by the oldest most primitive societies
Meat is fundamental
To these guys, it’s the meaning of life
Time for a burger
Cricket meat ?
?0
Where’s the meat? And how do you separate it from the (primarily) guts of the cricket? Or do the fashionable Thai eat the guts and ovaries too? The anus too? I look forward to the YouTube cricket butchery videos … like I enjoy the beef butchering videos.
Crickets are like slim-jimmys …. ‘ lips & A**holes ‘
Is the labium and labrum crunchy? Perhaps some flavored seasoning or condiment helps with the savory experience?
Maybe that can be an elites dainty finger food, with the pinky finger held high?
At a state fair, maybe it can be served on a stick
( tooth pick – which can be handy to nonchalantly pick the antennae, or rectum out of one’s teeth. With seasoning, it all tastes the same)?
I do not know
To cleanse the mind of those notions…
how about some BBQ ribs or chicken and baked beans?
Rectal, anus and “genital orifice?” Isn’t this completely non-kosher/halal? Those communities will not touch this. Did Gates ever think about that??
Agenda 2030 You will own nothing, you will have no job, you will eat bugs and WE will be happy..
Which bugs are Kosher? Asking for a Jewish friend
Which bugs are Halal? Asking for a Muslim friend
Yes, I just asked that myself above. And NO they aren’t.
Don’t worry about eating crickets. I’ll guarantee some virtue signaling liberal group will start protesting with a “Save the Crickets” campaign. 😂
To consider. The same people who say you should eat bugs are the same people who say you shouldn’t drink milk or also bring the weight of law down on raw fresh milk and dairy.
They also want to get rid of private cars while they continue to use their private jets, private cars, etc while they claim we won’t own anything & will be happy. I really wish that their insane psychopathic “strategy”could get reversed & they have to live without any assets & be happy eating their fake meat and insects.
They should all be in prison where they would be denied all those things. They can be fed their cricket burgers every day!
Just because you can’t hear it, doesn’t mean the carrot doesn’t scream as it’s being torn from the ground
Is it an untold act of kindness to help keep it from freezing in the winter?
I do not know
Thankfully it’s family ( seeds ) are kept safe for flourishing in the Spring.
repeat
Is there a way to slaughter these bugs Halal or Kosher? If not then I guess we know who the intended market is.
Wait till people start getting allergic reactions to these frankenfoods. IMO only the new withit woke crowd are going to eat this crap.
I was once at a restaurant with a friend who has a shellfish allergy. She didnt order any shellfish but collapsed after eating a bowl of non shellfish soup.
So just the presence of traces of this bug crap in food that is supposedly bug free can trigger anaphylaxis.
People with allergies to shellfish cannot eat crickets etc
Whose more insane? The people pushing the climate hoax or the fools who believe it?
Newark N.J. has an abundance of cockroaches that roasted might be something to look into.
Do they wear costumes?
Indiana State Fair tonight… Cricket or Scorpion Pizza. The hell we will eat that garbage. Travis Tritt was great to see though.
It’s a Great Day to Be Alive! Love Travis Tritt!
May as well eat flour with weevils in it and wormy rotten potatoes. Didn’t these things go out in the dark ages? Now they want us back there again. Just get rid of the fridge and freezer that ought to do it. Goodness, I think we are regressing, and they call it under the umbrella term evolving or progressing. They are always changing the definition of things.
Expect the UK to eat bugs, they have always been weak!
