Controversial topics mean more views and engagement.

because its a giant marked that is going to make a lot of money. I will bet any money that until 2025, mcd will offer mcbug.

tv allows idiots to entertain stupid thoughts.

>An Indecent Proposal
led people to talking about open relationships and infidelity
I forget the name of the show about mormons and polygamy, but it allowed idiots to entertain the topics of polygamy and marrying more than one woman.

This is just another episode of Taboo, entertaining the thought of eating gross shit under the pretense of "learning another culture" and "being adventurous"

>>11501143
A lot of people are more concerned about what they eat and where it comes from today. I don't think the media is "pushing" bug eating, but what >>11501151 says. It just earns them more money. I doubt that the majority of people will ever switch to eating bugs, lab-grown meat is more likely to be the next big change since it's still real meat.

I haven't seen this pushed anywhere but here

Anyway they're prepping you for climate change destroying vast tracts of grazing land

>>11501176
i rather eat bugs than (((lab grown meat)))

one is natural

>>11501143

no one is pushing eating bugs on you. Are you really that easily swayed because someone said something on TV or in a newspaper?

Guess you should stop using computers, or any forms of technology, or medicine, or

You'll soon be packed in like a sardine in a room with 4 other people, in an apartment with a total of 12 people, and you'll be eating primarily insects. It's okay, you can drink a bottle of soylent on your 12 hour commute to work.

>>11501252

>>11501266
Pretty much everything you eat is nothing like it's wild counterpart. Everything has been changed through selective breeding or genetic modification, and you wouldn't enjoy the wild unchanged versions of what you currently eat as much.

>>11501143
>Why is the media pushing bug eating?

Why are you rewarding them with clicks if you don't want this

because you spend all day clicking on clickbait from your social media and the ai tailors your news feed to what you've been reading.

>>11501268
So you're a terminator

>>11501143
Outrageous headlines get more clicks.

>>11501143
There's more niggers in the world than ever before, therefore it's only natural to see more advertising targeting them.

>>11501143
If they can get you to willingly buy insects as food, think about the money they can rake in. They'll tell you it's more ethical too, after all the land needed for an insect farm is probably smaller than a cow pasture, right?
It's about money though, it's always the money.

There's so many reasons they're trying to push this but actually, for nice reasons:
>almost anything when it comes to resources, insects use 1/10 or even 1/100 of what regular meat needs such as land, labor, initial investment etc.
>insects doesn't produce methane and have a very low carbon print
>the ratio of feed/meat needed(meaning how many kilograms of feed you need to obtain usable meat) varies from 1-1 to 2-1 instead of 10-1(pork, chickens) or even 20-1(beef)
>insect meat provides much more nutrients than regular meat
>it's cheaper

whitey gonna eat bugs so there's more real meat left for jamal, ahmed, pajeet and cheng

>>11501143
Because The Big Bug industry is paying for news reports with claims of the nutritional benefits of eating bugs.

>>11501536
He didn't post any links dicktard. He did it right.

>>11502395
too bad bugs dont have actual meat like their cousins the marine crustaceans but instead bug flesh is like a gloop that oozes out.

liberal media pushes bug eating and bug chasing for the same reason: overpopulation. except they'll never say its because of overpopulation. they'll say it's because eating meat is murder, and damages the environment, and is bad because it fuels testostrone toxic-masculinity and perpetuates inequality and farming cattle leads to rainforest destruction etc etc.

at the end of the day, our lives are made worse due to never-ending jewry and nig population growth. the liberals want to push bug chasing homosex because it aids in depopulation. their ideal world is one in which they rule over an underclass of city-dwelling bugmen who eat bugs, have gay/lesbian sex, all while these same liberal elites continue to eat meat and perhaps even babies/fetuses. it's fucked man. don't go down this rabbit hole or you'll never trust anything ever again.

>>11502432
From what I gathered, the crushed exoskeletons and "gloob" is what is referred as meat when it comes to insects. Almost all parts of them are edible (the species deemed as edible, that is).
>>11502442
This anon is right, the main focus of why the FAO is pushing this is because sustainability and being able to feed the population, the media often forgets to mentions this. The rest of that post is just good ole uncle /pol/ and his ramblings.

>>11501143
More sustainable protein re: feed, water, and methane.

Would honestly incorporate cricket flour into my diet but there's a huge hipster tax so fuck that noise.

can cricket flour be used as a direct substitute for wheat flour?

>>11502798
No. It's a protein powder and not actually a flour.

Never seen this being pushed anywhere irl other than the most hipster circles. I'd love to try this for the protein if that stuff wasn't so expensive

>Crickets are cheaper to farm while at the same time better for the environment
>Sold for a shitton of money in select hipster stores
>Cattle is expensive to farm, horrible carbon footprint
>Sold for a cheap price nearly everywhere
>Average Joe goes with the less expensive and more readily available item
>"WAAAAH WHY ARE YOU SO OPPOSED TO CHANGEYOU SHITLORD I BET YOU EVEN VOTED DRUMPF"

That's so the dirty plebs get used to eat insect bars

>>11501151
this. there's no other reason. it's all about the money

>>11501143
The same reason they're pushing anti-white / Christian / western shit....because they've been subverted by communist leftists intent on destroying our culture.

It's one of these "sustainability initiatives" pushed by ideologies that seek to improve the standard of living of third-world societies. Unfortunately, until we reach the "singularity", resource allocation is in fact a zero-sum game, and this improvement can only be made by decreasing the standard of living in the first world (i.e. "sustainability"). Look up "UN Agenda 21" for the basic playbook on how these ends will be achieved.

>>11503318
>the "singularity"
i'm so tired of waiting

>>11501143
>find obscure article or news that will cycle out after a few days that most people won't hear about anyway
>lose your fucking shit

That's /pol/ in a nutshell.

>>11501143
Because a food crisis is coming in the next 30 years, and bugs are a simple and easy to grow protein source. Not all should be eaten, but there are species of insects well suited to being consumer food. But they're invariably a poverty food, nonetheless. Personally, I could imagine myself eating them if they were prepared right and i was starving, or if they were processed to be palatable.

>>11503138
There are guides out there to farm your own mealworms or crickets, they're incredibly low maintenance, needing almost no water, feed and some light. You'll have to get your hands a little dirty tho. Mealworms are used as flour as well.

>>Why You Will Soon Be Eating Crickets and Other Insects

Literally bored white vegans & environmentalists with no lives of their own spending all of their fucking time thinking of ways to tell other people how to live their lives.

Better question is:

Why do white people get off on telling other people how to live?

>>11501266
Imagine being so fat that you look at computers and see food.

>>11501143
incescts have been part of human diets for just about ever......theyre easy to aquire, hight in proten low in fat, not hard to produce them at quintity.....being grossed out by eating bugs is a value judgment from aesthetics....its meaningless and the product of a particular kind of sheltered life(like being willing to eat fish but being grossed out when the restaurant leaves the head on)

insects r proven to lower ur T and lead to feminisation in men so no thanks

>>11503318
>improvement can only be made by decreasing the standard of living in the first world
this is pretty much how it has to work....our lives are artificialy nice and predicated on explouitation and shit conditions somewhere else

the pie is only so big, its a finite pasty and evening out everyones access to it will necessitate cutting up the minorities large slices up and redistributing them

>>11503352
I know how to theoretically farm insects, the problem is that even though they're cheap af to produce, they're sold as if they can only thrive on gold nuggets as a substrate. Besides, I cannot imagine farming crickets in your apartment would be exactly pleasant, not only because of the noise.
I might check out the dried mealworms specifically sold as fish/bird food though if I happen to like the general idea of eating insects. Same species of insects and I'm somewhat optimistic that the taste wouldn't be much different. 50 wt-% of protein doesn't sound too bad either.

>>11501266
>equating tool usage to actually ingesting food
what is it between the two that makes you fine with using unnatural tool usage but not with unnatural food ingestion? assuming any lab meat will be extensively tested for safety before it ever hits the market, what makes you distrust it? are you afraid that the food will either mentally or physically alter you? dont you think the use of a computer does this too, maybe even more than any food ever could?

>>11503403
Mealworms aren't as noisy.

>>11503377
>being grossed out by eating bugs is a value judgment from aesthetics
no you colossal retard
people are disgusted by bugs for the same reason they're disgusted by rats: they are nasty pests which infest stored food and ruin it, while also spreading disease.

>>11503402
Just give them condoms and be done with it.

>>11503631
Catholic Church keeps telling them condoms are Satan.

>>11501166
Bugs taste fine dude. Just think of them as land lobsters. It's not some globalist plot this time for once.

>>11501143
Gods chosen people love to humiliate the goyim, meat will be reserved for only them in the future
Cockroach protein is all you need to function in your work

>>11501261
But there's evidence that we're severely addicted to computers/phones, social media, internet porn etc. Blue light exposure is also messing with our circadian rhythm. But like the other anon said I'd rather eat bugs, which all hunter gatherers would have eaten for thousands of years then some chemical slop made by Steinberg Food Sciences Inc.

>>11501159
>I will bet any money that until 2025, mcd will offer mcbug.
Maybe in China or India. McD's is not going to be offering cricket burgs in the US within the next decade. If lab grown meat for whatever reason doesn't take off, I could possibly see it as a joke burger that becomes a regular item after it's breaded and deep fried like the chicken or fish burger, and even then only served in shitty hipster McDonalds in places like Commiefornia, Portland, or Seattle.

>>11503243
This.

>>11503910
I'll start eating Jews before that happens.

>>11502758
that was a memorable movie

>>11504990
Lab grown meat isn't going to be shit it takes too long and is too expensive toake for a bland, nutrionless product. It's going to be next generation's rocket car, technically it exists but getting one is for the 1% and it's just not that great anyway

>>11505089
Right now, sure. But there's a pretty big financial incentive for cheap meat that also doesn't involve the regular killing of animals. You get the feel good aspect for those that want it for ethical reasons, and as it becomes more popular, it gets cheaper, thus feeding the masses.

>>11501143
The 'Murikun public is being de-sensitized about using insects as a food source. We are being prepared for massive inflationary costs of meat proteins. Other poor shithole contries eat bugs. Now it time for the Murikun proles to join the fun.

>>11501143
There are a few companies that are banking on it being the next big thing, but honestly I haven't seen all that much coverage of them. In any case, pushing to eat bugs is what happens when someone buys the ecological argument for vegetarianism but not the ethical one.

>>11501143
"Why aren't WE eating bugs? Why don't be silly goyim that's against our religion.. You just enjoy your crickets while we eat steak."

>>11501143
probably voraphiles who want little bugs squirming their guts

>>11503318
No, look up third worldism for actual theory and praxis instead of Alex Jones tier conspiracy shit.

Because bug meat is easier amd cheaper to mass produce than bird and mammal meat. They naturally flourish in a warmer climate, require less fresh water, and we also likely wont face the antibiotics problem with them.
At the very least I'd say it shouldn't be unexpected to see reports of resturaunts using bugs as fillers for certain meat products that are not priced at all how they should be in theory (e.g. McDonalds keeping a dollar menu with beef products on it in the face of inflation).

>>11503318
The actual idea is that raising the standard of living in the third world will ultimately curb population growth there, as has happened everywhere a proper middle class appears. Needing the already developed countries to curb their own resource consumption is mostly unrelated.

>>11501143
Upcoming mini ice age from solar minimum.

>>11502442
Except that the 1st world isn't overpopulated.

>>11506614
The first world is overpopulated in relation to its rate of consumption. The word (((sustainability))) unfortunately has been abused to the point that it’s mkstly meaningless to most people at this point, but everyone in the first world continuing to use resources at the current rate is literally not sustainable in the long term, as in the planet actually cannot sustain it without serious collateral damage

>>11506574
>UN directives aren't real!

>>11506616
False.

>>11506624
I mean, it exists as a non-binding “””action plan””” that was never implemented in any kind of meaningful way. Thinking this has anything to do with actual population control in the first world is definitely conspiracy shit.

>>11506627
Gee you sure showed me. No, it’s already happening dipshit. Ocean acidification, rainforests being depleted for resources faster than they could ever be regrown, water shortages in dessert population centers, reduction of air quality, increased agricultural runoff, etc.

>>11506639

>>11506643
>faster than they could ever be regrown,
False. Look at reforestation over the past hundred years. The effects of pollution are 95% due to China and India.

>>11506644
So how does this prove me wrong? There are so many actual, verifiable conspiracies, I dont waste my time on tinfoil hat theory shit.

>>11506651
No, it’s not false. And clear cutting trees and planting them back in rows never fully restores the original biodiversity or replenishes the organic matter lost.

>>11501143
Because they're realizing that a plant-based diet is untenable and unhealthy, yet we still need to reduce (mammalian) meat production to achieve the incoherent goal of saving the planet while at the same time maximizing population.

>>11501143
>people start to behave like animals
>"well, now you can even eat insects like animals"

Pretty much this.

>>11501143
The vegan market is getting stale, they need something new to get money from.

>>11506655
False
>>11506652
It's not theory it's a literal UN directive that you are dismissing.

>>11506668
It’s not a directive dipshit, it has ZERO legally binding power and is not being enforced or enacted in any way. Great argumentative skills by the way, no I understand how retards like you end up believing this dumb shit you just say “False” to anything that you haven’t already believed for the past decade. Kill your self boomer.
>>11506666
Checked

>>11502798
No, but here there's bread in which portion of grain flour is substituted for cricket flour resulting in bread that at last has some nutritional value.

>>11506657
>maximizing population.

Why do we want to do this again?

>>11501857
>anon was the Terminator this whole time

>>11501143
the illuminati are slowly starting to prepare the world for a bug-based diet, since they anticipate that bugs have the potential to become a very cheap, sustainable source of protein

>>11502395
Also animal abuse. No one will care how we treat our bugs since even a loving mother would consider them as pests fit for slaughter.

>>11503910
Didn't the Israelites love eating locusts? Maybe they just want people to not think they're weird if they do it.

>>11501143
Dumb goys don't get the privilege of real meat, that's reserved for the Chosen People. The mutts can get lab-grown GMOs, cockroaches, and weeds, remember we need to lower the first world's standard of living so there are more resources for Tyrone and Abdul's 18 kids

oh yea hmmmmmm just like lobster

>e.g. McDonalds keeping a dollar menu with beef products on it in the face of inflation
You're retarded. Mickey D's is able to do this, as is every other fast-food chain, because they charge people $2 for a cup of sugar water. That's how they recoup the loss and still make a profit.

>>11501252
Well, fuck technology anyway.
Those fucks in the power aren't even trying to go to space.

>>11502395
Doesn't it just mean that there are too many fucking people?
Agriculture was a mistake.

>>11512362
Yes there's just so many fucking people, but the last trends in global population indicate that there aren't as many people being born as there are people dying in many countries, and that the birthrate is decreasing in all countries.
Still, there's the problem to feed the current guys we have right now and that with the current available resources it's unsustainable; entomophagia provides a solution.

Enlightened being

agenda 21

>>11501143
because in the future, only goyim will eat insects while the elite eat steaks and drink fine wine

>>11501143
The UN is planning on herding human beings into cities. Manmade natural disasters result in the federal government buying up all privately-held land in a premium. The government doesn't want you to own land. With the human race's population growing at unnaturally high rates due to less lethal diseases, this means that it will no longer be efficient to grow animals for slaughter.

Per calorie consumed, insects are around four times as efficient as a cow, and can be kept in a much more constrained environment. Insects have a faster lifecycle, and can be grown and harvested more quickly. Rootless cosmopolitans and the power elite will continue to stuff their face with meat a la medieval nobles, but the average globalized wageserf will eat meat a handful of times a year as a special treat.

What you see on TV prepares you for the future. When TV and movies push transhumanism through VR and prosthetics, they were preparing you to accept and love the new technology on the market. Or just the general sexual degeneracy that you see on TV/youtube now. By putting insect consumption on TV and youtube, you are already finding the idea more acceptable and normalized by people who have an agenda to make insect-eating normalized and accepted.

>Bluepilled answer
