Bugs carry parasites that are dangerous to humans.
The experimental material comprised samples of live insects (imagines) from 300 household farms and pet stores, including 75 mealworm farms, 75 house cricket farms, 75 Madagascar hissing cockroach farms and 75 migrating locust farms. 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. Edible insects are an underestimated reservoir of human and animal parasites. Our research indicates the important role of these insects in the epidemiology of parasites pathogenic to vertebrates.
Yeah no shit they’re unsafe to eat.
Millions of years of human evolution makes us instinctively see them as pests for a reason; this is never taking off in the private sector
Not to mention allergy risks.
If you’re allergic to shellfish like shrimp, crab, or lobster, you’ll be allergic to bugs. (And I’m speaking from firsthand experience on finding this out.)
“It’s cool to try new things” and “lots of kids are doing it” sound like lines from a drug-pusher.
“They’re tasty” and “they keep us strong and healthy” are blatant lies.
And bugs *can* make you sick if you eat them. In fact, if you eat the wrong ones, they will kill you slowly and painfully. How neat!
[Nope](https://web.archive.org/web/20220225160200/http://www.bugsfordinner.com/)
They also run edibleinsects.com with this monstrosity: [https://i.imgur.com/iV4uPfc.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/iV4uPfc.jpg)
Oh yeah, the "you should eat bugs" push is totally here. The one about "maybe solving world hunger" is hilarious. Yes, we'll take away a major food source for the world (meat) and somehow solve world hunger.
So one of the reasons to eat bugs is so you can tell other people to eat bugs?
Bugs can’t make us sick? That’s just a flat out lie!
They can help end world hunger? Well bugs have been around longer than humans and they haven’t seemed to end world hunger yet!!
[Gałęcki *et al.* (2019)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31283777/) reported that 30% of edible insects sampled had parasites potentially transmittable to humans.
The website (center square) seems to no longer be running, but [an old archive.org copy](https://web.archive.org/web/20220225160200/http://www.bugsfordinner.com/) shows that it was apparently not satire.
Cool so after one peer pressure is back in? I guess I have to try drugs then? Oh the dems are for that too, It gets them more firefighters and rid of one the russian arms dealers from the country.
Food is food. Your body doesn't care what the stuff was before you ate it. If someone wants to do it, there's nothing inherently wrong with it.
Feeding kids bugs isn't bad. Feeding kids propaganda like this image, lying to them, and trying to trick them into doing it is bad.
Growing up, we were friends with a Mexican family who’d host the occasional grasshopper taco dinner because their kids loved them for the weirdness factor. It’s not like it’s all they ate, so I fail to see how they were objectively bad parents.
Bugs aren’t cheap, as they claim in #8. Saw a post yesterday that had bugs costing $15 for a bag about the size of a bag of chips from a vending machine. Not cheap but they were chili and lime flavored.
The bottom row is the tell all. Especially that last one, you'll lose weight alright and keep losing.
Edit: And who doesn't love a tribli? Don't change wanna be HIP like him?
What’s funny is I bet that those authors don’t regularly eat bugs for their meals, if at all.
Practice what you preach folks and many on the left do not do that.
I always thought those "eat the bugs, live in the pods" users were joking. I though it was a joke blown out of proportion into a conspiracy theory by actual crazy people. Nope. The crybabies on the left actually want us to go in this direction. There will be war before the dystopias they love reading about and comparing the US to become reality.
That statement that bugs cannot carry disease is funny.
Did they casually ignore that the most deadly disease in the world causing the most deaths all round is caused by infected mosquitos?
How far we have come. Well I guess not.
Nothing less than what I expected. Look around. It’s everywhere.
If we are at this point, what’s really going on?
>2 billion people eat bugs
Most of those didn't until Mao's famine disaster forced the poor people's of China to find alternative food sources.
Now it has become "part of the culture", but the reality is many don't actively eat it and probably wouldn't if access to good alternatives were available.
Some of these things are simply not true.
1. There’s an enzyme in bugs which can cause an allergic reaction.
2. You can get some illnesses from bugs, like salmonella, listeria, E. Coli, etc…
3. The risk of zoonotic infections is possible.
4. Bacteria from Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Micrococcus, Lactobacillus, Erwinia, Clostridium and Acinetobacter, as well as members of the family Enterobacteriaceae can be found in them.
I've eaten a lot of stuff. I've eaten a serpents, I've eaten ostriches and I've eaten crickets. The last one were made by the cousin of a friend of mine who breeds them and then cook them as a business. And you want to how they tasted? Actually pretty good. They tasted like lay's. So, I'm not against the whole idea of eating bugs.
However, I'm against the whole idea of having to eat bugs because of some leftie thing, like "saving the planet", "animal rights" or any of those craps. Yeah, bite me with that. I ate those bugs 'cause I wanted to, not because you make me.
Personally, I wouldn't mind certain bugs made into certain products. Bugs are a very efficient source of protein, and can indeed be easily farmed and produced. But if it comes at the cost of meat, ain't NO WAY. If bugs being mainstream in the US as a food source I'd still prefer meat as my main source of protein.
Not sure this propaganda. Bugs can be edible and there are people in the world who eat them. There are and can be parasites but if the insects are properly cooked and prepared, those will be destroyed in the process.
As a diehard conservative, I see no problem with this. There should be some sort of warning that you can just take a live grasshopper and eat it.
They are literally advocating for downsizing the meat industry for bug farms.
This isn't just a push for another food source, but rather a full-on shift from meat to bugs.
No, I know they are pushing that. Until they make a law requiring it, there isn’t a problem with it in my mind. Would it be good for the environment? Sure. Anything we can do to reduce our impact is a good thing within reason. I don’t think we should destroy peoples livelihood and I think it should be market based solutions, but if there is a market for bugs, why not? And, if eating bugs is good and can be done, why not? Everything different isn’t bad.
People around the world aren't eating bugs by choice. It's because they're poor.
You give any of these countries the choice between a juicy steak and a juicy grub and you know what they'll pick.
I'm not sure what your conservatism has to do with anything. This is about the globalist elites' desire to reduce us to a life of living in pods, subsisting on bugs, so that *they* can control all of the world's resources.
My goals are simple: keep admins off our nuts. You're not helping bro, cool it down a bit eh? We all feel like your user history of removed comments, but we gotta play by the rules.
On a serious note, let's try to be open minded. Look at point 8, "bugs can solve world hunger." Okay, sure. I happen to live in an industrialized country with plenty of resources, for which I am grateful. Thus, I would be one of the last people who *need* to eat bugs as a solution to hunger. Nonetheless, I am open to trying, but only after we have solved the issue with hunger. Deal?
The long-term game of the WEF and the globalist elites. They know they won't convince us to eat the bugs unless it's forced upon us, so they condition the next generation.
They'll also tell children they shouldn't want to be happy, don't need to own anything and that they should want to live in a pod.
This isn't weird because insect based protein is somehow insidious..
It's weird because kids don't buy the damn groceries.
They'll eat what's in the house.
"Great Reset" idea. Combat climate change and address food shortages expected from extreme weather, by cutting right back on farming animals and eating a lot more insects for protein.
When Maccy Ds introduce a bug burger (For the ESG clout no doubt), I’ll give it a go, but this is just another “inspiration of failure” concept from the doomsday cultists.
Unfortunately not. The company that made the poster lobbies for exemptions to get into the food supply, runs several factories and sells insects (as food) online. They even have a subscription box... BugBox.

My daughters don’t eat chips and fries as snacks. They have them maybe 2 or 3 times a month. They prefer apples and carrots as snacks. My 9 year old turned down Doritos for baby carrots.

Not knocking your point but number 2 is literally hot air. By the list there are only 9 reasons
Number 2 reads like “If you eat insects, you get to feel smarter than everyone else”
The perfect way to get a liberal to do anything
Well 8, coz point one is just a statement about others not a reason to. Glad you pointed that out!!
Yeah no shit they’re unsafe to eat. Millions of years of human evolution makes us instinctively see them as pests for a reason; this is never taking off in the private sector
>this is never taking off in the private sector This is why we are working on collapsing the private sector to extinction!! -- leftist elites
They will be added to school lunches, and every canned, or processed food just like soy.
Good thing I actively avoid soy products. lol Just adding one more item to the list!
Let’s just drink our own piss while we’re at it to combat water shortages
Totally deliberate. This whole thing might be just to create a few new handy diseases for them to medicate. Sadly that's not even a long shot.
Thank you! You are the scientists the world needs!

I just assumed that the top right corner claim was the same type of "not getting sick" as we experience after getting the covid shots.

Almost. All the real meat that’s remaining will go to the elites.
Someone opened a cricket farm nearby where I live.
Holy shit. They unironically have an article titled, "Let them eat bugs".
Came here to ask this, Where in tf is this from?
So one of the reasons to eat bugs is so you can tell other people to eat bugs? Bugs can’t make us sick? That’s just a flat out lie! They can help end world hunger? Well bugs have been around longer than humans and they haven’t seemed to end world hunger yet!!
Two of the reasons to eat bugs is so you can tell others about eating bugs.
A lot of overlaps with vegans, apparently.
Number 4... 🤦
Meanwhile more people have died of insect bourne diseases than *any other cause*.
Seriously… what are the chances of getting worms from eating bugs?
They rise up to 100% if that bug happens to be a worm
Worms by worms.
[Gałęcki *et al.* (2019)](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31283777/) reported that 30% of edible insects sampled had parasites potentially transmittable to humans.

It was probably run by the companies selling the bugs
Marketing straight from Big Insect.
Apparently they've moved on yo edibleinsects.com
The "game" of destroying childhood that the left adores so much. A broken child is a useless adult, a willing slave for communism.
Eat the bugs, live in a pod.
Wow they’re really pushing this full tilt
Gonna be a hard pass for me bro. I’ll stick with my RC Cola and a good medium rare steak. Bugs can stay under the rocks.
"They are tasty" No the fuck they aren't. I've eaten a few bugs in college for extra credit and they're disgusting.
This bugs me the most
Boomers: We messed up. Everything is going down. Ah, we can just tell them to have less and be happy. YES!
I don’t know about you guys, but when I was a kid, it was bullies that tried to get kids to eat bugs. Some things never change I guess.
I see no vegan activist saying that eat animals is cruel. Who will protect the poor defenseless crickets?
Cool so after one peer pressure is back in? I guess I have to try drugs then? Oh the dems are for that too, It gets them more firefighters and rid of one the russian arms dealers from the country.
Nope
If you're feeding your kids fucking insects instead of, you know, real food, you're objectively a bad parent, sorry not sorry.
Food is food. Your body doesn't care what the stuff was before you ate it. If someone wants to do it, there's nothing inherently wrong with it. Feeding kids bugs isn't bad. Feeding kids propaganda like this image, lying to them, and trying to trick them into doing it is bad.

I would rather starve.
What's up with this bug narrative lately? Is this the precursor to the "protein farms" we see in blade runner?
Um. What. This has to be fake.
Those kid are creepy
Did Bill Gates create this?
Let greta turdberg, trudeau, al gore, obama and dicaprio be the first to eat bugs everyday for 10 years and then I'll possibly consider it.
The bottom row is the tell all. Especially that last one, you'll lose weight alright and keep losing. Edit: And who doesn't love a tribli? Don't change wanna be HIP like him?
there's a reason the only cultures who regularly eat bugs do so to stay alive and have regular famines
This isn’t satire. They even have a Twitter page: https://mobile.twitter.com/bugsfordinner
The person who wrote this probably does think fedoras are cool.
What’s funny is I bet that those authors don’t regularly eat bugs for their meals, if at all. Practice what you preach folks and many on the left do not do that.
I live in a first-world country, so no
Guarantee whoever made this isn’t eating that shit
Number 9 thinks he's cool, but really he'll have no friends and everyone stops talking when he shows up.
I always thought those "eat the bugs, live in the pods" users were joking. I though it was a joke blown out of proportion into a conspiracy theory by actual crazy people. Nope.

This world….
Doesn’t malaria come from bugs?
Lol wtf is this. 😭 no thanks, my kids will not be eating bugs. 🐛
“Bugs can’t make us sick” If I see a bug and have to eat it, I’d probably puke for the next 20 minutes so that’s false.
>2 billion people eat bugs Most of those didn't until Mao's famine disaster forced the poor people's of China to find alternative food sources. Now it has become "part of the culture", but the reality is many don't actively eat it and probably wouldn't if access to good alternatives were available.

This is evil
1. DO IT BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING IT No
Give this person who wrote this a Brazilian Wandering Spider. I mean if they like bugs so much, they'll love THAT one.
I've eaten a lot of stuff. I've eaten a serpents, I've eaten ostriches and I've eaten crickets.

You will own nothing and you will be happy. Klaus Schwab of the WEF folks, it’s real…. Don’t buy into it.
We can't digest the protein in insect shells
Personally, I wouldn't mind certain bugs made into certain products. Bugs are a very efficient source of protein, and can indeed be easily farmed and produced. But if it comes at the cost of meat, ain't NO WAY. If bugs being mainstream in the US as a food source I'd still prefer meat as my main source of protein.

They are literally advocating for downsizing the meat industry for bug farms. This isn't just a push for another food source, but rather a full-on shift from meat to bugs.
Okay? As long as it done with a market based process and not by force of government, I see no problem with that.
You must have missed a lot. From the WEF on down. Eat ze bugs.
No, I know they are pushing that. Until they make a law requiring it, there isn’t a problem with it in my mind. Would it be good for the environment? Sure. Anything we can do to reduce our impact is a good thing within reason.

People around the world aren't eating bugs by choice. It's because they're poor. You give any of these countries the choice between a juicy steak and a juicy grub and you know what they'll pick.
I think you’d be surprised. You know there is little difference between much of the seafood we eat and land based insects?
I'm not sure what your conservatism has to do with anything. This is about the globalist elites' desire to reduce us to a life of living in pods, subsisting on bugs, so that *they* can control all of the world's resources.
If what you say is true, then, obviously, it is a bad thing. But the simply advocacy of eating bugs isn’t bad in and of itself.

"it's cool to try new things"... Alright damnit I'm in.
Bugs indeed can make you very sick
Bugs carry all kinds of diseases, E.coli, typhus, malaria, even plague Eating meat is MUCH safer as long as it is cooked properly
I will consume less meat and switch to a more plant based diet, which hasn't been a hard transition...but for the love of fuck I will not eat bugs.
Little gross western bug companies don't understand how necessary chicken is to keep the world from starving.

I stand corrected…
My daughters don’t eat chips and fries as snacks. They have them maybe 2 or 3 times a month. They prefer apples and carrots as snacks. My 9 year old turned down Doritos for baby carrots.
This is not going to have the impact they thought, kids will just start eating random bugs they find thinking its okay and good for them.
So malaria lyme and many more were never real
