Eating insects can be good for you

I can't believe this "conspiracy theory" from two years ago is coming to fruition right before our eyes.

Can you remind me on that conspiracy theory? Is it something like: we the middle class process that tasteless goo into something you - the poor - can eat, so we can get some money from the upperclass who still eat their wagyo beef?

That's basically been the theme of the 2020's hasn't it?

(That plus the inevitable gaslighting)

Creating a new norm

I do not believe this will be a thing. I mean, sure... there are already insects in some foods. Some store bought Strawberry Icecream is flavored from beetles. There are big lists of all the processed foods that contain bugs both intentionally and not-intentionally.

I will buy bugs if they are tested for diseases, certified organic and are alive. I will feed them to chickens and the chickens will be delighted.

The conspiracy side of me still thinks this is some type of dare or gaslighting from some group. I assumed as much with George Bush Jr. saying all the silly things in front of the world had to be a dare from Skull and Bones promising to promote him to grand-poobah or something if he said {n} silly things with a straight face.
