My food is full of bugs!

[rayg]

The European Union has given the green light for two more species of insect to be used as food for humans.

As of Tuesday, a powdered form of Acheta domesticus ? better known as the house cricket ? will be given the green light for human consumption within the European Union, documents from the body have confirmed.

This is soon to be followed by further approval for the sale and consumption of the larval form of Alphitobius diaperionus ? also known as the lesser mealworm ? which will be given the green light for human consumption in frozen, paste, dried and powder forms within the European Union later this week.

Let'em eat bugs, grass clippings, weeds, etc. I'll stick to eating a farting cow beef!

Amen to that Major Tom!

Some years ago when we were on a small bus tour of Thailand, our guide took us to an insect market where baskets of various bugs were on sale as food. One of our bus mates from Belgium actually ate a few. His wife said, correctly, that he would eat anything. I thought that I would be ill from the smell

I have heard that some U.S. food manufacturers are accepting putting insect partd in products like flour, cereals, cookies, etc! I hope they put on the ingriedient list what bug parts are in it so that I do NOT purchase such items!
Our government is intent on destroying beef, pork and chicken markets! To what end is that?

To save the planet? From what?

When a few hundred acres of a crop is harvested, do you think that there aren't any bugs picked as well? And maybe a mouse or two.

It's part of the plan to overpopulate the planet.
