Isn’t it just hilarious how some people perceive the whole “eat the bugs” concept as a charming little joke or some retarded QAnon palaver?
I mean, obviously, it’s not like they’re serious or anything.
But guess what? They’re dead serious about making you chow down on bugs.
Prepare yourself for the bug-filled future. Brace yourself as they cleverly incorporate insects into everyday foods by using delightful ingredients like “cricket flour” and other bug-based goodies.
Oh, but don’t worry, my dear friends.
Bugs are truly the least of our concerns when it comes to processed food these days.
I mean, who needs to worry about bugs when we’re already consuming ingredients in processed foods that are even worse?

“CBS Saturday Morning” featured a segment suggesting adding insects into a diet could provide benefits for a growing world affected by climate change.
To counter meat, soybean-derived proteins, or other high-carbon foods, the segment described efforts by climate experts and scientists to explore farming bugs to protect the planet.
“We all know how important insects are for the environment, but climate researchers say bugs could be a game changer in the fight to protect the planet in ways you may not have imagined,” host Dana Jacobson said.
