Have you ever actually eaten bugs before?
How was it?

Why do right wingers get so mad by the choice of eating bugs?

[Anonymous No.17143248]

>>17143220
Yeah, I've eaten both a cricket, and a locust as a larp when I was very young. Didn't taste terrible, but was really not great texture wise.

>>17143227
No one gets mad about people choosing to eat bugs. That's your own choice. People do get mad about being told they need to eat bugs to save the world. Mainly because it's just stupid.

I had some crickets in ranch powder at a gas station once, they pretty much just tasted like dry grass. Have to imagine there's some big cicadas or something that taste good though, they're basically the same as shrimps in the sea.

I have. Crickets, grashoppers, ants and mealworms. I haven't really liked any of them.
There's a Chinese supermarket near me that sells frozen cockroaches, which they swear is meant as fish bait but they're in the same freezer as the frozen meatballs and shit.

I’ve tried some throughout Asia and yes they are terrible. Natives might eat them sometimes but that’s due to cost and no one chooses bugs over chicken, pork, fish, so on.

Whenever you see “bugs are the future” nonsense remember pic related.

The only ones that were terrible to me were the mealworms and the grasshoppers, but that's mostly for textural reasons. I legit couldn't swallow them. They both activated my gag reflex.
Couldn't actually eat much of them.

I had crickets twice. One time, they were 'plain' and tasted like stale cornchips. The other time it was for free ice cream at Cold Stone. Get chocolate covered crickets as a mix-in and your ice cream's free. So it just tasted of chocolate and ice cream.
Ants taste kinda spicy. I've been told it's due to the formic acid. Idk if ant larvae counts as a separate thing, but I had a beef salad with ant larva on it in Thailand. That one was good, but mostly because of everything else there, not the larvae themselves.

Oh! I forgot. Caterpillars. Silkworms, I think. Same issue as the mealworms and grasshoppers. Couldn't eat it.

Not technically a bug, I guess, but I had one of these once and the scorpion just tasted like dirt.

[Anonymous No.17143870]

The only plans I've ever seen to try and integrate bugs into our regular diet is to grind them up to fortify flour with more protein.

They're not even the most efficient. Many varieties of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks are more environmentally viable in the long run. The more likely thing to happen is we transition to a more seafood heavy diet rather than just eating handfuls of crickets.

i did mealworms in junior high with a few other daring kids, we had them to feed some bird or something and the teacher popped one and asked if anyone wanted to try. i wonder if xe would get in trouble in 2021 for pulling that stunt. honestly wasn't bad, not much flavor it as just a crunchy thing

The thing about these "we need to eat bugs" articles is that they never try to make it look remotely appetizing. They just use the most repulsive, appetite-killing images like they're trying to scare you or something.

It won't be a choice because if it was people wouldn't do it.

i think i've had cricket or similar at an asian buffet once and it tasted pretty unremarkable, not something i would choose to eat
i'll just stick with seabugs like shrimp and crawfish

[Anonymous No.17144159]

>>17143910
That's because these articles aren't actually trying to get you to eat the bugs, they're just using eye-catching images to make you click them out of morbid curiosity.

Not yet, while everything is still collapsing. I think you're being intellectually dishonest as opposed to just being a blatant retard.
>You WILL own nothing
>You WILL eat ze bugs
>You WILL be happy
Now, if you think the whole thing is a silly conspiracy, and that the richest people in the world aren't transitioning us into a new age of slavery, suffering, and bug eating, then I have made a mistake in replying to you, for you are a dull, grey NPC.

Have you ever seen Snowpiercer? That's why.

If not, let me remove the metaphor. It wont me a "choice," the lower dregs of society will only be able to afford bugs, the elites will all still eat beef and tuna. No elite is going to give up their private jets and start flying in coach to save the earth, so fuck it. If the upper end isn't going to cut back and keeps forcing the burden onto the lower end of society that doesn't have any real control over anything, its going to break eventually anyway.
