Have you ever eaten or do you eat insects?

[bean2k21]

Where I'm from in America, we don't commonly eat insects. The occasional small winged critter might fly into your soup, but that's about the extent of it.

It is estimated that the world consumes 2 billion insects per day. I find this number amazing, considering that I find the idea repulsive.

That being said, crickets and mealworms are nutrient-efficient compared to other forms of protein. Locusts contain 20 mg of iron for every 100 mg of wheras beef only contains 6mg.

Do you eat insects (not judging)?

[youngmix]

I use cricket flour to make food. I have also eaten whole crickets, and had scorpions and spiders in tacos. I also had real chocolate ants, and I accidentally drank a massive amount of ants that were in my sweet tea when I was 8. I just remember them being super sweet, which caused me to figure out the situation.

The tarantula tasted like super perfect soft shelled crab to me.

I know that black flies are sugary when they get into my fermented milk...
since I like shrimp, especially for their nutrition, that wouldn't be far from crickets then.
I've eaten ants deliberately which had a strong interesting aroma, tried collecting them and making a powder but they seem to carry dirt and shit with them so it wouldn't work. I thought they contain ecodysterones and bodybuilders buy black ant supplements, one website I've seen selling them was LostEmpireHerbs for example.

Honestly I'd rather go vegetarian before eating chitinous bugs. Shrimp though, sign me right up. I want to make them part of my home aquaponics system

[purplepoppy]

There's an insect cafe near me https://www.thebugfarm.co.uk/about-us/grub-kitchen/

Is that an invitation to an insectuous relationship?

I ate a whole bag of cheddar flavored crickets. They sold them at the natural history museum. My niece and nephew were fascinated.

I ate a live cricket for a field zoology class. The teacher offered extra credit on the next test to any student who tried it. She kept crickets to feed various reptiles she kept in class. She offered extra credit because she also taught an outdoor survival class. I stepped up and did it. Turns out I never needed the extra credit. I got an A+ on the next exam anyways!

The bag of crickets were cheddar flavored. They tasted like cheddar flavored potato chips. Pretty good actually. I would eat them again. The live cricket didn't really have much taste. It tasted like how birdseed smells.

I had a chocolate-covered grasshopper years ago. It wasn’t terrible, but the texture was not awesome. I wouldn’t have a problem with using insect meal in processed foods. But there’s going to be a huge learning curve around which whole insects are palatable. Not that i’m unwilling to try, but it seems like live or otherwise fresh is the way to go for bugs. And that’s going to take some getting used to! Ell oh ell!

[Blackcosmo]

I love how you always say "Ell oh ell!"

[MAC1983]

In some cultures it's a normal thing.

For example, in South Korea kids often collect insects that are later prepared for them to eat in school.

I have no problem with it, but I haven't tried it yet. I've eaten snails which many would say are even grosser. It's edible and was good.

Also, one update you can make on your question is how ridiculously less pollution and water consumption it takes to breed insects than other animals.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

As a vegan, not. Insects have a central nervous system and they definitely are sentient and have feelings. However, locusts, as You’ve said, along with grasshoppers and crickets, are kosher to nosh. There are in southern New Jersey insects to eat for sale. Chimpanzees, a family member of the dang human being, also likes to eat termites.

Unless your gender bending superpower enables you to have periods like women and lose excess iron, I would not want to eat foods even more dense with Iron than beef.

[FunkyMonkee]

I'm not sure but I think I had chocolate covered ants once.

[rabbitzzz]

If you consider prawns and ant's as insects.

[loveslongnails]

I've had fried grasshoppers. Tasted pretty good.

[JohnK123]

Did the company ask bugs about their opinion on this?

[RealMarek]

No, I don’t, and I will not even though the WEF is pushing this hard.

[Blackcosmo]

I've never eaten insects and I never will.

[Guy__]

Then we have to fight against the NWO agenda. Wasn't their moto "by 2030, you'll eat insects and be happy" ?

[Blackcosmo]

@Guy__ Interesting. lol

[Guy__]

I was joking. It was "you'll own nothing and be happy"

similar to how a girl keeps asking if Madison beer is attractive and shit. I kept telling her the same thing about celebrities' for months. She then says she sees it but later goes back to her paradigm.
this is my most recent conversation. foolproofing it, as always.

when will people stop worshipping celebrities? No offense, ok?

let's take a look at Madison beer, but this applies to most of them.

What is common among illuminati puppets?

covering one eye?



among their females, it is common to have exceptionally long humerus bones



and big browridges, (the same photo above before surgery)



also male finger digit ratios





and adam's apples, male ribcages, and jaw and shoulders WIDER than that of their spouse



and they also promote transgenderism

without telling you that the frogs are turning gay and Health Canada being proud of it!

(No Offense) (Goofy) (But Informative) Dear Canadian healthcare workers, I have a piece to the puzzle you couldn't find! ↗


NO I AM NOT ATTRACTED TO EVIL!

[Guy__]

All illuminati puppets are trannies. that is the point of (Seriously) Is it strange to you how every single politician has the digit ratio of the opposite gender? ↗

[Blackcosmo]

@Guy__ Well I do find some celebrities attractive and yes I do have my problems with trans. I'm not transphobic but I've got my opinions.

[Guy__]

Just so thrown in our faces, how they infiltrated the government, trannies on the left and right. And obviously the celebrities are manufactured to brainwash us. Disgusting illuminati trannies.

[Blackcosmo]

@Guy__ That's a very valid point.

[Guy__]

Anyone who isn't drenched in this mind control should be able to see it without all this tranny crap. But if you hadn't, here it is...

[Guardian45]

@Guy_ you took the blue pill didn't you?

[CubaPirate]

Chilli 🌶 beetles 🪲 in Cambodia
