Nobody is trying to make you eat bugs lmao keep this right wing bullshit away
It is so frustrating when a conspiracy narrative is mixed with valid criticism, which ultimately only taints the criticism by association with the “conspiracy.”
I’m happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.
Don’t conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.
“here’s a rational sounding thing to be concerned about, also have you heard of adrenochrome?”
Lobsters are basically bugs
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find it disgusting to eat animals like shrimp or lobster because they look too similar to insects to me.
Garlic butter is the key
And lemon juice
100% They look like bugs because that’s what they are. Just bottom feeding arthropods, the cockroaches of the sea.
Can we keep the boomer Facebook bullshit out of here?
I like it
Where did the bug eating talk start? I’ve not been offered any bugs since those grasshopper candies from Archie McPhee when I was a kid. Is it another dog whistle thing?
It’s a far right conspiracy theory, that OP’s trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA’s atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it’s literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.
I love those. Another good one is listing:
- Vietnam
- Afghanistan
- Iraq
- Ukraine
And saying something, like this time it will be different.
They are purposefully hiding one tiny bit of detail thought, that Ukrainian war was started be is being committed by Russia.
I’ve seen some scientists talk about it, but not as a “mwahahaha, we’re going to force these people to eat bugs!” kinda deal like some people seem to imply, but more just as a “this is more efficient for growing protein than traditional livestock, so there would be environmental benefits if we can persuade people to switch to it” sorta deal.
Frankly I feel like a lot of the discussion is kinda silly, advocating that there would be benefits if people try to replace some of their meat intake with insect protein is not the same thing as forcing people to eat bugs. The intention behind advocating that is not malicious, they don’t mean just any old bugs but generally farm raised ones, and besides, people already eat bugs anyway. Plenty of cultures throughout the world have dishes involving them in various ways, and beyond that, even in the western countries that a lot of this discussion happens in to my knowledge, people eat very bug-like creatures all the time as long as those creatures live underwater. Shrimp for instance.
For it to make sense, You have to begin with the premise that ecology is a lie created by scientists to make money. 
EU approved few insects for consumption as a novelty food and will need to pass defined standards and inspections.
But conservatives, even in US used that as an argument that they will make us feed bugs.
I’m so confused. Almost every candy store where I grew up sold cricket and scorpion lollipops. They sell them at the airport in my city too. Why are people in suddenly going crazy about shit that’s been happening for decades? And it’s not even the same country that’s changing the laws?
Not only that the hasn’t the fda approved a certain about of bugs per batch or whatever in food for decades? Aren’t like M&Ms shells made with bug shells or something? Don’t worry, I’m about to double check myself, I’m just so bewildered.
Someone watched Snowpiercer and went nuts
for me it’s been since expo 2000 and I would be actually interested.
Crispy high protein snacks with a low ecological foot print? shut up and take my money!Klaus schwab - head of the w.e.f. “you will eat ze bugs”
Most people don’t even know his name. But yeah, 2030 is approaching fast, gotta get the world ready for fascism and servitude.
I’m gonna lob you a softball. Don’t miss it. Both parties in the US suck, but one is openly courting fascists. Which is it?
I don’t care about politics at all. You tell me. If I wanted to argue with people online, I would probably love politics though.
1984 as user name
I don’t care about politics
Alright then
You don’t care about politics…but your username is 1984? But I suppose that’s just a part of troll tactics these days.
No I’m sadly not just trolling. If you look around you, we are living in societies like in the 1984 book.
Nobody if forcing anybody to eat bugs. That’s bullshit.
“The CIA did some shit in the 80s, so it’s totally legit to claim vaccines make your dick fall off”
Uhhh…does it really?
?
Pp flies off to the BG music of “i believe I can fly”
I ser by some of the comments here that the some of the reddit trolls found Lemmy.
That was too quick for my comfort.
I mean, I’d find it fast too if it was my well-paid job.
Yeah, professional disinformation disseminators are relentless. A takedown of certain nationstates will be required to stop them.
I mean we still don’t even know the full extent of what they did through the previous century. There are a couple of very noteworthy acknowledged coup or assassination attempts (and successes), but how many others are there? You’ll still often get labelled a conspiracy theorist for talking about some of the other cases.
I don’t know how many potential examples there are, but my standout example is Australia. Australia’s 1975 constitutional crisis was set off by a Governor General who had been a member of a secretly-CIA-funded organisation, and the US had just recently sent someone known as “the coupmaster” (for his involvement in other coups) to Australia as their ambassador. A CIA contractor of the time says that the GG had been described within the CIA as “our man”. And there was motive, in the form of the relatively leftist nature of the Australian Government at the time, and their threats to shut down the Joint Defence Facility at Pine Gap, a jointly-operated CIA/ASIO spy centre. Australian politics has heaved towards the neoliberal in the time since the alleged coup.
But it has never been formally acknowledged, and it’s still only based on circumstantial evidence. Depending on who you’re talking to, professing to believe there was CIA involvement will get you labelled a conspiracy theorist. I suspect there are probably other countries with similar stories.
How is the CIA connected to eating bugs???
Okay but why don’t you want to eat bugs? Proteins are proteins you know.
If you’re railing against being made to eat bugs yeah you’re a conspiracy theorist. They’re a perfectly fine meat replacement, though I’ll stick with beans like I think most people will want to
We would all be just a little better off as a whole if we ate some beans instead of a steak more often than not.
Spelled “wealthy people” wrong.
This is not true at all. It’s the opposite. The mainstream completely accepts the the cia does awful shit. At reports or like there’s no surprise. This guy gets all his cia did awful shit news from the media, and imagines he did the groundbreaking investigation himself. Haha.
They saw the movie Snowpiercer and now the future of humanity is eating bugs. And it very well could be. People have been eating bugs since, forever. Roaches will probably be around after many food sources are gone and we will eat them. You can bet on it.
Many cultures eat bugs for protein. The fact that this all becomes some kind of conspiracy thing just shows how stupid and gullible people have become.
