Why the obsession with trying to force people to eat bugs? It feels like some sort of weird fetish.

Doing their best to kill off those who have shellfish allergies. Oh well just more useless eaters not eating.

Chitin is, if I'm not mis-remembering, some of what those with seafood allergies ( and sometimes iodine) are allergic to. It's their shells etc. Will they be killing those folks who go into anaphylaxis with seafood?

There are studies about chitin and consumption thereof- it ain't healthy to do so.

As usual, no consumers were consulted or informed.

Why would you consult livestock on their fodder?

Do they have to cite "bug byproducts" on the labels?

To be fair, I don’t find this less disgusting than the pink slime that goes into American beef products.

I was in Austin TX recently and was reading a local foodie magazine. There was a big article about some local restaurants adding bugs to their menus as “exotic delicacies” and being a long term necessary change for “environmental stability”.

Of all the virtuous virtue signaling, “eat bugs to save the weather,” is about as shallow and superficial as it gets.

Apparently, people with shellfish allergies are expendable and can be swept under the blanket of "died suddenly by climate change"

The EU wets the bed wailing about GMO "Frankenfood" soybeans and then turns around and sneaks bugs into the pizza dough? What is with these people?
