So, how can we untangle the "live in pod eat bug" meme from its far-right history? Because I really want to ask how far this is from the nearest insect cafeteria

Today, you're going to be told that eating bugs is soy and its destroying masculinity.

Tomorrow, every fucking "get fit in 30 days" self-help Joe Rogan knock off is going to tell you that eating powdered bug meal is the fastest way to maximize your inner potential and hustle harder.

You get better gains from ants than anything else

You are what you eat after all and look how strong they are

I don't understand why they are so anti eating bug. What's the connection

It's gross. "You are going to eat beans" isn't nearly as evocative as "you will eat bugs". Insect agricultural also gets thrown out there by reddit-logo types as a potential way to reduce carbon emissions, so every once in a while they get a headline to froth at

Sure it's gross if you don't consider how to cook them I don't understand how shrimp and mussels are food but crickets and locusts aren't

Also lobster. If those weird-ass sea bugs taste that good, surely weird-ass land bugs must taste good.

You’ve just given me an amazing idea. Does anyone on here have a cricket contact?
