Rich in protein and…Oh…so delicious!
Celebrities like Nicole Kidman groom us for the decline, pushing a new diet of bugs. Will Americans comply with their moral betters and start snacking on insects in preparation for the day when we can’t get anything else to eat?

When I was a little kid I loved “Simba the White Lion” (I know, I know, you can already see my “white supremist” budding at an early age 🙂 )
I saw a DVD of several episodes at Walmart 14 years ago and bought it, thinking “yeah, I’m going to show my grandson what a REAL cartoon looks like!”
So I pop it in, and the VERY FIRST EPISODE … it’s all about how the carnivores need to stop eating their friends – and they try to get the carnivores to eat plants. But of course they hate the plants, and they get sick and get even more hungry for meat.
They’ve all planted a garden, and then locusts come to decimate the crop. They valiantly try to fight them off, but it doesn’t work. Then they come up with the idea to coax the locusts into a cave and then raise them on plants for the carnivores to eat. And the carnivores conveniently seem to like the bugs. And in the end they were saying this isn’t ideal, but it’s a big step in the right direction where we (carnivores) don’t even eat bugs.
Well in my adult state I could see exactly what was being pushed here back around 1970 even. And I hated it.
Now the horrible thing was … he loved the cartoon and couldn’t get enough of it. There was lots of action and drama and it drew him in. The message was tertiary to him. But it was front and center for me.
So this is what we have to try to un-do by providing alternate entertainment that promotes OUR values. We have a lot of catching up to do.
Hakuna Matata! Simba, wallowing in guilt and free from his heritage of responsibility for his pride, learns to eat bugs. As he pulls out of selfishness and becomes the ‘King of the Jungle’ that he was born to be, even his mammalian allies look like dinner. The moral of the story? The pride thrives when men are men and even friends who taught them to eat bugs are aware of the consequences being in the way of them growing up.
We can’t start eating bugs ….. man, they are the most critical and foundational part of the earth’s ecology. We think of this current epoch as the age of Mammals and think of the time 250 until 60 million years ago as the age of Dinosaurs, but in fact throughout that entire time until the present, here on earth has actually been the age of insects. Why do we mere mortals, think that we can mess with the dominant species and not upset the delicate balance of nature??? ;c)

Bugs – Yum!
I plan to take my bug rations and feed them to animals that produce meat.
Chickens and turkeys spring immediately to mind.
I’m not a picky eater. And I’ve eaten insects and larvae and such things before. Unlike most Americans I’ve been hungry. Not “gee I could really use something to eat because my stomach is empty” hungry. Nope. I have been the “unable to obtain sufficient calories” sort of hungry. Thankfully that was a relatively short period of time but I learned my lesson even so. I’m not particular about what I will and won’t eat, fuel is fuel and happily for me I’m an omnivore that can fuel up on a very wide range of substances.
Sure, I have preferences and flavor favorites. There are things I would choose first and things I would choose last. When it comes to that last choice I’ll still eat it, if it’s the last choice then that’s all there is to choose from. Otherwise obviously I would choose something else.
So here’s the thing about eating bugs as far as I’m concerned. Straight up insect protein unprocessed and untreated is below my last choice. It’s not food because it can carry things like hook worms, tape worms and various bacterial and viral threats. So it has to be processed and if you just throw a bunch of bugs in a pan and fry them … You still do not end up with food. If you heat the bugs enough to kill whatever nasty thing(s) they might be carrying or a vector for, that drives all the water out of the bug in order to do that. What remains is a tiny amount of protein in a form that a human being can breakdown, absorb and make use of. There are no or insignificant amounts of fats, carbohydrates and micronutrients. Most of what you get is chitin proteins all dried out and useless. They will pass through your digestive system unchanged and come out the other end. in the same state that they were in when you swallowed them.
You could literally eat bugs that way by the kilogram every day and starve to death with a full stomach.
So they have to be processed into something that humans can use. My thinking on this is if they can present me food made from insects that is cheaper, equally nutritious and as flavorful as foods I like — I’ll eat it. I’m not a bit squeamish. Anything less than that drops the bug chow down further on that list of food choices for me.
Below a point where something I like more costs less than the bugs, I’m not a market for bug chow peddlers.
I’m good with exploring new sources of energy, materials and food and I’m not willing to rule anything out. Petroleum is hydrocarbons, if they can find a way to use it as nuclear fuel or make it taste like a nice juicy hamberger and sell it competitively, that’s fine with me. As long as it can compete with more traditional sources. If it can’t compete then it’s not a real, viable option. It’s a gimmick and I have no time for gimmicks.
Now Ms. Nicole Kidman can eat all the damned bugs she likes. I do not consider her and her ilk a thing to be emulated no matter what they eat. She exists to amuse people like me and I find her bug diet very entertaining. Maybe she should get a little more iron in her diet, she always looks so pale and sickly.
I think this comes back to personal responsibility. The left tries to alleviate people from any responsibility of their actions. To have dominion means you must be not only in charge of it, but also responsible for it. So they’re trying to remove the dominion over it so they don’t have to be responsible for it. And the bonus side effect is they get to show us all how much better than us they are.
As Zo said, lobsters are basically an ocean cockroach, if fact when we go on a dive boat and hunt them we call them bugs. So those kind of bugs I will eat and as he said that will be there virtue signal for eating bugs.
I love Moreton Bay bugs … Very tasty decapod but not really a “bug” by any sort of established taxonomy. It’s a nickname I learned when I lived in the Brisbane area. Although real bugs do belong to the same phylum of Arthropoda as a slipper lobster or flat head lobster.
Still, it’s sort of like calling a norway rat a person just because they share the phylum Chordata and the class Mammalia with us. Aussie do some pretty weird things to the English language. Don’t even get me started on Ockers.
I get what you’re saying though, if you’re gonna eat a bug, that’s the “bug” to be eating. They’re really delicious.
I also have eaten, and enjoy what are sometimes called “mudbugs”: Crayfish.. Crawfish, crawdads, whatever you call them. Look like miniature lobsters. Quite delicious. First tried in Lake Charles Louisiana. A little work to get to the meat, but boy! Love ’em!
I grew up crawling around in irrigation canals in AZ catching crawdads for a freinds mom that used them in her Jambalaya. I loved it.
When a Leftist eats bugs he’s committing cannibalism. These Satan worshipers are merely doing the bidding of their “lord” by debase God’s image, i.e., us (Gen 1:26).
Beelzebub is literally Lord of Flies, or bugs.
I want to see a celebrity gala with film footage of them eating bugs for three hours. I’m still not buying into it, but I would enjoy their misery or watching them pretend to enjoy eating bugs
