REALLY!?!?!?! Eating bugs is insanely dangerous. It's not done by humans for thousands of years, many evolutionary leaps before even homo sapien arrived.
Parasites were detected in 244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insect farms. In 206 (68.67%) of the cases, the identified parasites were pathogenic for insects only; in 106 (35.33%) cases, parasites were potentially parasitic for animals; and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans.
Until you know, the nonpathogenic for human parasite becomes so and evolves beyond human immune capabilities and then there's another, and another, and another ...
That's the goal, it's always been the goal. A lack of protein has been the spoken out loud part. The silent part is to kill.
I don't think that they are thinking this one through sufficiently. If it ever comes down to it, that I and my family are so hungry that eating bugs starts to sound reasonable? Guess what else is going on the menu first? Because the r-selected and the K-selected are going to divide up and sort things out for themselves.
I walked past a BRDM once that was still smoking after burning down with a full crew aboard. The smell put me off pork barbecue for about a year. And not because it was so "horrible" or "upsetting" either.
They should think very carefully about what might happen if they get what they think they want. They're not going to like it. At that point, no one is going to be arresting anyone, for anything, anymore, anyway. Think "Chicongo", but everywhere all the time and all at once.
And the grandkids are just going to have to wonder where Gruntpaw keeps getting all this "veal".
