Eat Bugs and Like it

 You ever watch Starship Troopers ?  Earth battles bugs from outer space. I guess Earth won because we are now eating bugs. Companies have started to use insect protein as a SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE to cows and chickens . They say that bugs are a good source of protein and other nutrients, and can be produced with less pollution than cows or pigs  and chickens

Yes they do blame Cow Flatuence

Another reason why companies are turning to insect protein as a sustainable alternative is because of the negative environmental impact caused by traditional livestock farming, specifically in terms of cow farts. Cows and other ruminant animals produce methane gas as a byproduct of their digestion process which contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, livestock farming is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

In contrast, insects do not produce methane gas or other harmful gases as a byproduct of their digestion process. This makes them a much more environmentally friendly option for protein production. Additionally, insects require much less land and water to raise compared to traditional livestock, making it a more sustainable and efficient use of resources.

Moreover, insects have a much shorter lifespan compared to cows and other traditional livestock, meaning they can be raised and harvested at a much faster rate. This also contributes to the sustainability factor as it reduces the overall demand for land and resources used in protein production.

 

 

 

Watch Out for the following

Banded Cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus) - also known as the tropical house cricket, these insects are a great source of protein and can be used in various dishes such as stir-fries, curries, and even baked goods. They are also very easy to farm and require minimal space.

Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) - these larvae of darkling beetles are commonly used as feed for pet birds and reptiles, but they are also edible for humans. They have a mild nutty flavor and can be used in soups, salads, and even as a topping for pizzas.

Grasshoppers - these insects are commonly consumed in many countries around the world, including Mexico, Thailand, and Uganda. They can be fried or roasted and have a similar taste and texture to shrimp.

Crickets (Acheta domesticus) - another popular insect for human consumption, crickets are high in protein and have a mild nutty flavor. They can be used in various dishes or ground into flour and used as a substitute for regular flour in baking.  

Termites - these insects are widely consumed in Africa and Asia and are known for their high protein content. They have a slightly nutty taste and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Yellow Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) - similar to the regular mealworm, these larvae are a great source of protein and can be used in various dishes. They are also very easy to farm and have a mild nutty flavor. 

Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) - these larvae are becoming increasingly popular as a sustainable protein source. They have a high protein content and can be used in various dishes, including burgers and patties.

Waxworms (Galleria mellonella) - these caterpillar larvae are commonly used as fishing bait, but they are also edible for humans. They have a sweet taste and can be eaten raw

Lesser Mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus) - these larvae are commonly used as pet food, but they are also edible for humans. They have a rich and savory flavor and can be used in soups or stews.

Silkworms (Bombyx mori) - known for their silk-producing abilities, silkworms are also consumed as a delicacy in some Asian countries. They have a mild taste and can be eaten raw or cooked. 

Field Cricket (Gryllus assimilis) - similar to the house cricket, this species is also consumed in various dishes and has a nutty flavor. They are especially popular in Mexican and Native American cuisine.

Mopane Worm (Gonimbrasia belina) - these caterpillar larvae are a traditional delicacy in Southern Africa. They have a high protein content and can be eaten raw or cooked.

Common Housefly (Musca domestica) - while not commonly consumed in Western cultures, some countries in Asia and Africa consider houseflies to be a delicacy. They are often dried and ground into a powder for use in soups or stews.

 

Tyson Foods has invested in a company from the Neatherlands called  Protix that specializes in growing and processing black soldier fly larvae for use in animal feed. This investment shows the potential for insects to become a major source of protein in the future.

Many insect farms use sustainable farming practices, such as upcycling food waste to feed their insects, making them an environmentally friendly protein option. 

The European  version of the FDA , the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), has approved mealworms as a novel food source and there are discussions about expanding this approval to include other insect species in Europe. 

Insect farming is also seen as a solution to food insecurity in developing countries, where traditional livestock farming may be less sustainable. 

While eating insects may not become mainstream in Western cultures any time soon, the potential benefits of incorporating them into our diets cannot be ignored. As a sustainable and nutritious food source, insects have the potential to play a significant role in addressing global food challenges. So next time you see a grasshopper or cricket hopping by, consider giving it a try!

 I dont want to eat insects, I like my cow, chicken and pig , thank you very much but as a prepper is important to know what your alternative food sources are. This in my opinion is another attack by the globalist elite who would tell the peasants," Feed them insects" while the elite will continue to have a Ribeye and you will limited to a larvae...  All in agenda with the World Economic Forum
