What is up with EU and eating bugs bullshit? - eviltoast

I really need an explanation on this since people are not shutting up for months that EU is apparently putting insects in food for the people to be forced to buy and feed on like survivalists in jungle would? I know that EU is completely unhinged nazi hellhole and whatnot, but to this extent to feed themselves on bugs? I don’t think so.

Can somebody please tell me about this, they are not shutting up about it on social media for months?!

    Is it part of an anti-vegan campaign?

    Remeber how Marx in Capital wrote about multitute of methods to increase the rate of exploitation or worker class? One of chief methods there is to decrease the costs of labour reproduction, that is, the lowering the workers livelihood. Including cost of food, Marx given example how potatoes massively replaced bread in workers diet. There are multiple examples in the last centuries, junk food, chemical treating of foods in market etc. etc.

    Bugs are next step, and the media campaign for it is normalisation of something that is universally treated as incredibly repulsive in basically every European culture - eating bugs is basically synonym for starvation, and even in starvation people sometimes prefer to die rather than eat bugs.

    So i think this is not as much anti vegan as anti worker and pro bourgeoisie.

      Finally, an actual Marxist analysis of the situation. So many of the other comments here sound, unfortunately, like something you’d find on liberal reddit under a post about “green lifestyles.”

      Let’s not pretend the stigma against veganism doesn’t exist.

      It definitely does, and it makes it much easier to for them to push this shit.

        Sure it does but proper vegan diet for workers is still less exploitative than bugs, so while that might get the idealist antivegans on board of that train, the material reason for that drive is still the same - intensifying exploitation.
