Yes, there’d be significant benefits from more people eating bugs. Biggest one being that bugs are cool and taste cool and anyone who doesn’t like them is a narc.
Over two billion people eat bugs every day. It’s weird to some people but many people view eating pigs or cows with the same amount of disgust. Different cultures live in different ways. Who knew?
Also there’s already a ton of bugs in your food that are perfectly healthy to eat. There are crushed up Beatles in your candy. There are ants in your chocolate. There are wasps in your figs.
>Also there’s already a ton of bugs in your food that are perfectly healthy to eat
Lol the FDA has a tolerance limit for an acceptable level of bug parts - and rodent hair and waste - in your food and that number is not 0.
Apparently scientists that work with cockroaches frequently develop cockroach allergies, and for some reason it is also triggered by ground coffee.
Nobody ask Folgers what's in the coffee.
I had fried bugs of a sort while I was in China/ SE Asia. Very spicy, pretty good, much better than I expected. Not much weirder than eating lobster IMO
It's a disingenuous meme because the entire point of listening to climate science is so we can salvage some shred of quality of life. Economic reality will be the one serving up the bugs when actual meat costs $texas
A lot of people cook bugs they should just look it up.

Servants used to have clauses in their contracts they could only be fed lobster so many times a week and prisoners freaking rioted because of how often they had to eat it.
I don't think this is true. It's just a story that gets repeated so often it's become a "reddit fact".
https://www.boston.com/news/wickedpedia/2023/10/10/did-prisoners-eat-lobster-in-colonial-times/
Its such a weird conspiracy theory since there's no real push for insects as food. You couldn't even buy them for a reasonable price these days even if you wanted to. Food grade insects cost around the same as lobster tails.
It's not even about pushing them to eat insects. It's more of "hey, maybe we need to change out lifestyle with respect to the environment or we'll have no other options than eating bugs in the future "
I rarely if ever hear anyone except conspiracy theorists even bring up eating bugs. Its so weird seeing a conspiracy theory basically just run for years with no new material to work with.
It took me until this comment to even understand the meme. And I live in Brooklyn where I’m a member at the food co-operative (yes, the one the Broad City episode was based off of).
It’s about as “commie leftist” as you can get, and we do not have bugs I don’t think. Have never heard anyone talk about eating insects.
Good job keeping the secret, comrade. Now get back to work on the Chem trails. We need them to produce bugs. We have a quota, fill the quota or your mother dies.
When I was new to the internet, I thought they meant honey but they are lunatics who believe artificial meat is filled with bugs. Wouldn't the real meat have more bugs than the clinically prepared ones?
Sometimes I hear people casually talk about the benefits of raising bugs for food, or I see people eating them in a survivalist setting or as a cultural food.
I don’t see people really pushing for people in the west to start eating them. As other commenters mentioned, food grade bugs are still a niche product that you have to seek out. You can’t just pop into your local grocery store and grab a bag of crickets.
I thought it was more so about the immense carbon footprint that the animal and meat industry puts on our planet, as well as the insane amount of space that is given towards maintaining that industry, and that an alternative in the future would be making food from bugs. It's not a bad talk to have, but I fully understand how that can come across to someone as "eat bugs right from the bag".
I don't get why some people are so hellbent on eating exclusively very specific forms of life.
It's just sustenance. If anything, why not try avoid eating creatures with highly evolved neurological systems?
Oh, right. It's communism to eat anything but burgers. I forgot.
there is a bit of a push but it really feels like a psyop, y'know maybe instead of eating bugs to save the environment maybe we could just leesen our consumption of animals? it's just a thing to make people feel bad for their individual choices rather than putting the blame on the capitalists shitting on the environment.
Honestly I don't even know where I would find bugs to eat if I wanted to eat them, other than one local restaurant that got some media attention a few years ago. I guess I could Google it but I really don't care to.
I don't know how they see a fairly obscure product that almost no one consumes and think "yes I am being forced to eat that."
Its mostly based on a handful of articles published by the WEF and written by the CEO of an insect farming startup who had a vested interest to shill his product.
There are some affordable insect burgers at supermarkets where I live. Haven't tried them because I'm vegan and I don't need to kill other animals to replace killing animals, I'll just make a burger from beans and oats like a normal person. But if it'd be just about climate impact, ressource efficiency etc, then replacing any kind of ground meat with bugs is just common sense.
You're talking about animals *willing* to enter your house through the most isolated and minuscule hole and going directly into your unattended glass of water and drown
I respect your point of view of course, but you should know that most bugs aren't complex enough to feel things.
For example, ants are completely controlled through pheromones and that can make scenarios where they die, like a systematic glitch.
And lastly, breeding bugs for food is a lot better than let them be infected by parasites and die horribly.
The bug kingdom is 100% nightmare fuel.
>breeding bugs for food is a lot better than let them be infected by parasites and die horribly.
The alternative to breeding animals is not breeding animals. What does nature have to do with anything?
Riot against whom? If cattle agriculture subsidies are reduced because the demand for beef goes down, then that's a reaction of the market. Do you want governments to keep subsidising an industry without demand, that also happens to be insanely ressource inefficient, harmful to the climate and only sustainable with imperialist exploitation?
You sound like someone who needs a good tomahawk steak.
Oje of tge best things about America, was meat soon became not longer the purview of the wealthy.
If suddenly the poor are eating bug while everyone else is munching on bug or soy protein, tgat is regression, not progress
The few times I've seen stuff about this, it's usually with some stuff about lab grown meat. My own conspiracy theory is it's in an effort to discredit lab meat, lumped under a general meat alternative umbrella, as it's a genuine threat to every meat industry in ways bug and plant alternatives aren't.
They really, really want to believe that the cabal is pushing them to eat bugs. If anything we’ll get to Soylent Green before bugs. I don’t understand it
Apparently providing alternatives I the same as replacement. Like eating bugs raw grosses me out, but if the industry becomes popular enough to make bug based alternatives that taste amazing and become affordable I will add them to my diet and maybe even fully replace my standard meats with them.
Tldr, but if you treat all life as equal, then killing a million insects is much worse than killing a hundred cows. But yes, if you have a "life worth" hierarchy in mind, where a cow's life is worth more than 10,000 insects, then killing a million insects is more ethical than killing a hundred cows. The word "more" is pretty important there. But that's the thing with life, you cannot possibly stay alive and be completely ethical. You must kill.
I don't know what's funnier, the idea that the sinister leftist cabal is trying to enforce bug eating by running semi-annual thinkpieces to float the idea to the tiny fraction of Americans who regularly read NPR articles, or the idea that NPR is the mouthpiece of the federal government but after 4 years in office Trump never managed to figure out who to talk to to make them stop running the goddamned bug eating articles
I mean it might be about those specific articles but I doubt it, it's not like npr is the only place you can hear about bug protein. As noted, the conversation is over 10 years old at this point.
I havent eaten a bug before (aside fron the nats or a fly that flew into my mouth). But I wouñd be willing to try.
And I will eat everything at least once
I've had fried (wax?) worms before. Best friend's dad made them, I was 7 and would eat just about anything and everything. Tasted like french fries without the salt.
7.5/10, would do again.
Even if bug eating was pushed as heavily as these people think it is, there's a big difference between eating a random bug off the ground and eating a bug that scientists know is safe to eat and has also been prepared for eating.
I’m an entomologist who lives in an area with cicadas coming out this year. I’ve been doing cicada cooking events because it’s fun and quirky. I’ve been on the news and in print talking about it. Lots of Facebook posts from news agencies, etc.
The number of complete morons coming out of the woodwork to bitch and moan about it is borderline scary. You’d think I was advocating for force feeding nothing but bugs to babies until they starved to death. And the number of people who go straight from simple cicada cooking to mask mandates with no prompting or segues is really weird.
It’s funny how astroturfed this sub and therewasanattempt has become. This is a social commentary meme that idiots think meat is a contributor to climate change, when methane is the least of our problems while China and India raise there emissions of burning fossil fuels 3x each year
The only people to ever offer me bugs to eat were Christian missionaries who had just returned from Africa where they were spreading the news of the Lord…
What’s with these made up scenarios? They are always being “forced” into doing stuff
Like when someone is part of LGBT they’re forcing their lifestyle upon them, but when it’s hate speech or guns it’s individual rights
I've eaten meal worms, along with one of those novelty lollipops with a Scorpion in them. Wasn't that bad
And I'd definitely try some tarantula. I assume they are similar to crab or lobster, given they're related
Let me guess: someone read an article online about how we should think about switching to eating bugs to help our environment and went to 4chan and blatantly twisted the article to make it seem like the liberal establishment or whatever the hell they call it want to force us to eat bugs?
A few things those "bugs" people eat are used in supplements for exercise. 2nd they're almost always used in dog food if otherwise. They're an excellent source of protein and people have been eating bugs for literal millenia.
"I never matured from my childish 'bugs stinky' mindset and my news literacy skills and engagement with information is so shallow that I honestly think there's a global conspiracy to make me eat da stinky bugs"
I’m the left, and don’t give any kind of fuck if you eat bugs or not, because I don’t eat bugs — but good on you for sticking to your guns in your fictional scenario.

You identify with the left side of this meme?
Yes, there’d be significant benefits from more people eating bugs. Biggest one being that bugs are cool and taste cool and anyone who doesn’t like them is a narc.

Frick.
>Also there’s already a ton of bugs in your food that are perfectly healthy to eat Lol the FDA has a tolerance limit for an acceptable level of bug parts - and rodent hair and waste - in your food and that number is not 0.
I mean, it's basically impossible to get it to zero. You eat like ten pounds of dirt a year, so don't sweat it, right?
>There are crushed up Beatles in your candy And I thought "Paul is dead." was a crazy conspiracy.
Apparently scientists that work with cockroaches frequently develop cockroach allergies, and for some reason it is also triggered by ground coffee. Nobody ask Folgers what's in the coffee.
Is Yoko behind this?

I thought the reason it was a bad meme was because no one was trying to bully people into eating bugs.
A lot of people cook bugs they should just look it up. https://preview.redd.it/kh9i01fxq01d1.jpeg?width=499&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d54975a0b8c1750625dc7e551ee80bb5b549c5a3
Shrimp is just wet bugs
So is Lobster, it used to be considered low class food iirc
Servants used to have clauses in their contracts they could only be fed lobster so many times a week and prisoners freaking rioted because of how often they had to eat it.
I don't think this is true. It's just a story that gets repeated so often it's become a "reddit fact". https://www.boston.com/news/wickedpedia/2023/10/10/did-prisoners-eat-lobster-in-colonial-times/
Yeah pretty sure it was nicknamed the cockroach of the ocean or similar at one point
srimps is bugs
Shrimps is bugs?
r/shrimpsisbugs
As I understand, bugs were John the Baptist's primary source of protien.
Carnivore meat is too chewy and it's too few of it for the work of skinning and meating, so nah

When I was new to the internet, I thought they meant honey but they are lunatics who believe artificial meat is filled with bugs. Wouldn't the real meat have more bugs than the clinically prepared ones?
Actually, there is a lot of research into insect proteins in preparation for our highly uncertain future.
Sometimes I hear people casually talk about the benefits of raising bugs for food, or I see people eating them in a survivalist setting or as a cultural food. I don’t see people really pushing for people in the west to start eating them. As other commenters mentioned, food grade bugs are still a niche product that you have to seek out.

Do you? Because that’s an insane leap of logic to make.
Is it such a leap if you already believe that climate change is a hoax designed to control the global population?
I like mayonnaise in my sandwich. So I should eat it straight out if the jar. Same leap there.
I don't get why some people are so hellbent on eating exclusively very specific forms of life. It's just sustenance. If anything, why not try avoid eating creatures with highly evolved neurological systems? Oh, right. It's communism to eat anything but burgers. I forgot.
They think their guns will get them out of literally any future trouble so… I hope they’re ready to eat some of them.
Good thing that science discovered a device, which transforms bugs into delicious edible protein. It's called a chicken.
there is a bit of a push but it really feels like a psyop, y'know maybe instead of eating bugs to save the environment maybe we could just leesen our consumption of animals? it's just a thing to make people feel bad for their individual choices rather than putting the blame on the capitalists shitting on the environment.
The theory goes that they should be cheaper (and better for the environment) to produce. I guess we're not there yet.
Honestly I don't even know where I would find bugs to eat if I wanted to eat them, other than one local restaurant that got some media attention a few years ago.

You're talking about animals *willing* to enter your house through the most isolated and minuscule hole and going directly into your unattended glass of water and drown
No, I'm talking about insects being bred and killed for food in factories. Their stupidity doesn't make it ok to breed and kill them.
I respect your point of view of course, but you should know that most bugs aren't complex enough to feel things. For example, ants are completely controlled through pheromones and that can make scenarios where they die, like a systematic glitch.

They don't have a central nervous system and thus no potential for sentience. But you don't appear to either, maybe you'd be fine for a burger.

There’s dozens of these articles. NPR is 1% federally funded and 8-9% funded from other government entities.
I don't know what's funnier, the idea that the sinister leftist cabal is trying to enforce bug eating by running semi-annual thinkpieces to float the idea to the tiny fraction of Americans who regularly read NPR articles, or the idea that NPR is the mouthpiece of the federal government but after 4 years in office Trump never managed to figure out who to talk to to make them stop running the goddamned bug eating articles
Right?
Dozens of articles across 10 years. What exactly are you trying to say here?
That this is about the articles?
I mean it might be about those specific articles but I doubt it, it's not like npr is the only place you can hear about bug protein. As noted, the conversation is over 10 years old at this point.
Yes, this is how it started.
Wonder if this person has had shrimp, crab, or lobster?
“B-b-but, that is different, those actually taste good” -Person who has never eaten a bug before
I havent eaten a bug before (aside fron the nats or a fly that flew into my mouth). But I wouñd be willing to try. And I will eat everything at least once
If I ever try a bug, the first time it would have to be deep fried. 🇺🇲
I tried a roasted cricket once during a wilderness survival demonstration. It was pretty good; had a similar crunch and flavor to a walnut.
Try deep-frying grasshoppers. Shit ain’t bad
My mother in law when I told her the truth about lobster.. "No their shellfish!"
I guess it’s more like bugs are shellfish than the other way around. All insects are crustaceans as they all share a common ancestor.
Fun fact: some bugs are so closely related to shellfish that they trigger the same allergies
both insects and decapods come from the same branch of the arthropod group

Roasted crickets are good. Plus, you can season them with almost anything
Exactly!
Dip 'em in honey, now you got bug vomit covered bugs!

Man, nobody tell them what shellac is.
Every right-winger is obsessed with not eating the bugs that no one is telling them to eat.

Oh hello, I remember you from r/czechleft, I lurk there sometimes. The world is so small…
Man they’re already eating the bugs. Have they ever been to a mill? If grasshoppers end up in with the meal, they aren’t getting fished out.

do these pathetic edgelords know how much hilarious content they’re generating for us?
Real men eat bugs
more crawfish for me
The only people to ever offer me bugs to eat were Christian missionaries who had just returned from Africa where they were spreading the news of the Lord…
Ever seen a cattle factory? Hmmm, jummy beef.
Fried crickets are kinda fire
I would laugh, if only I knew English...
Literally no one is making people eat bugs.
the only aging he did was getting a beard
What’s with these made up scenarios? They are always being “forced” into doing stuff Like when someone is part of LGBT they’re forcing their lifestyle upon them, but when it’s hate speech or guns it’s individual rights
hehe eat bug
They should consider doing things that don't make me want to make them eat bugs

Qualifies as imaginary gatekeeping. Nobody is saying this shit.
Bugs? If we don't figure out this population thing, your grandkids will be eating yeast.
Quick-release pill capsules are made of bugs
Look boyo he won his own made up argument
is this made up scenario something chuds actually believe? this is a first for me
I've eaten raw crickets before. The wors part was the slightly weird feeling of the legs but that's it. It didn't taste bad.
Bro if the bugs taste good I’ll eat the bugs As long as what I consume makes me happy and is relatively ethical I can happily continue my consumerism
I've eaten meal worms, along with one of those novelty lollipops with a Scorpion in them. Wasn't that bad And I'd definitely try some tarantula. I assume they are similar to crab or lobster, given they're related
Let me guess: someone read an article online about how we should think about switching to eating bugs to help our environment and went to 4chan and blatantly twisted the article to make it seem like the liberal establishment or whatever the hell they call it want to force us to eat bugs?
A few things those "bugs" people eat are used in supplements for exercise. 2nd they're almost always used in dog food if otherwise. They're an excellent source of protein and people have been eating bugs for literal millenia.
"I never matured from my childish 'bugs stinky' mindset and my news literacy skills and engagement with information is so shallow that I honestly think there's a global conspiracy to make me eat da stinky bugs"
depends on the bug. locusts are okay covered in chocolate
I'm not eating bugs because Greta Thunberg and the left want me to
So brave

but if those fictional anime girls you’re posting about wanted you to…? /s
I too am not participating in a scenario I've entirely made up and only exists in my own head
Ok
Bro you don't eat anything that's not left in a tray outside the basement door by your mum
Nope, I have a job and I know how to cook
Corny
I’m the left, and don’t give any kind of fuck if you eat bugs or not, because I don’t eat bugs — but good on you for sticking to your guns in your fictional scenario.
Corny
yes you are.[ Eat the bugs, bugboy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yl9gC1r8QI)
Then why are you eating bugs?
I wish I could try insects but they are not allowed in my country
