Is eating The Bugs™ really all that bad?

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
There's like 3 layers at least to why everyone is extra resistant to the "eating the bugs" suggestion.

The first one is that bugs are viscerally disgusting to people. People could get over this but it'd take a lot of reprogramming because bugs are on the whole ugly and tasteless. You can probably make bugs palatable, and indeed we eat stuff with cochineal in it, French people eat snails, etc. but these are still edge cases.

Then there's just the concept of the elites forcing us plebs to scrape the bottom of the barrel for animal products, while ostensibly getting to enjoy a higher standard of living and still having pork or beef. This is the main driving force of the hatred imo. Elements of the humiliation ritual are there too. People will call anything goyslop, and is there anything more quintessentially "feeding our livestock" than processed bug goo?

The third layer is kind of faint, but there's a bit of the old "I fucking love science!" reddit faggotry attached to the phenomenon because all the "we should be eating bugs" articles from journos are written with the "we should have been doing this years ago! efficient protein lol!" perspective, which is the same angle as soy meal replacement people. Everyone who isn't a fartsniffer hates this kind of utilitarian smug bullshit.

Bugs aren't kosher, so we (I'm a Jew when it's convenient, like in this case, or getting admitted to college) will be excluded from being forced to eat the bugs.

It's fully intentional, malicious "goyslop."

There's clearly a plan to create a massive divide between kosher rich and beige poor. First and third reasons don't matter when they're based on personal values.
From their very early onset, bugs and GMO and other such garbage were touted to end hunger in the third world. Instead, they were brought into the (White) west to facilitate industrial greed and forward the aforementioned agenda. The message to learn from this is that, to the very rich and out-of-touch, regular people here are no better than thirdie niggers found anywhere.
Our luxuries to them are too good for us and must be gradually taken away or priced out of our reach. Then when demand is good and throttled, energy production can stay at a comfortable low and the quality of life for these richfags might last a millennium instead of a couple of centuries. The brown and retarded masses who are happy with squalor and whatever violence is contained within their own class won't be a threat.

You'll submit to us anyway so it doesn't really matter.

You'll give in because you all crave convenience and instant gratification.

Dogs at least are loyal. The betrayal of the U.S of Israel shows exactly how our fair weather friends behave.

I'm not eating the bugs. And I'm well aware of the horrors of factory farming.

If the Left fascists make this work, factory farms will just kill their animals and sell products made from the insects that feed on their corpses.

The only purpose served is for the rich Left elite to humiliate common people further.

We're probably going to see a lot more cochineal after the Red 40 removals take effect and it will probably be reverted after a while because you still don't get the right color.

Escargot isn't a good example of "eating ze bugs" (besides the fact that they aren't bugs), they're soaked in butter and herbs. Other things you can't easily mask the flavor of. If you remember Chirps, the cricket protein chip company which appears to have functionally gone out of business a few years ago (this article indicates that as of July 2023 they were winding down inventory though two years later those products still haven't moved much), you opened the bag and despite how fresh it was, it still smelled musty.

I will never forgive the assholes who tried to encourage people to eat cicadas.
The fuck did they ever do to people besides making loud noises. (They're just trying to get laid after being underground for years.)
