Keep in mind that something like 30% of all US households with children are now lacking food security due to the lockdowns and soon will be facing evictions on mass as well.
Normally I scoff at any mention of the term food insecurity, but I expect Harris to attempt to give all the remaining food to Xi and friends while her stasi locks everyone in their homes, steals their property, and watches Americans starve.
Chinese are already back to buying $12 a bushel soybeans because of their failed crops this past summer and the inability for their investments in South America and Africa to pay off.
I'll take note of it when Cargill takes note of it.
FYI: Most bicoastals don't know about Cargill because it's not a publicly traded company. Cargill controls about 25% of the US's total agricultural exports and 22% of the US meat supply chain. Whatever evils you've heard about Monsanto, consider this: Monsanto is in the 200's of the Fortune 500. If Cargill was public, they'd be in the top 10, competing with AT&T for #9.
Riceland receives more ag subsidies than any other group. Granted though they are a Coop. Although I'm familiar with all three as we usually sell our rice and beans through either Riceland, Cargill, or ADM.
Sounds like they're using those insects as feed for livestock. No idea if that's more efficient than traditional feed but it's not "eat the bug" level. Worst case it's a buzzword-driven investment scam.
Pretty cool, don't see anything about them advocating for human consumption, just using it as animal feed. I don't agree with the claim "insects have the potential to be the world’s most sustainable protein", I'm still on team algae for that. An interesting step in insect farming if they can actually get it working and profitable, but doesn't change my opinion that mass scale, industrial insect production for consumption is something that's still decades away.
You can still eat them, though. There was a company that made bars that were made with powdered crickets. I don't really like it, but it's better to have an alternative than to put soy in everything and say you've produced 20% more food because the food now has 20% soy.

That's probably one of the few products where you can get away with it because they have to be processed to a point where you can't recognize them anymore.
A local supermarket had whole fried crickets as snacks for sale. Stale taste aside it takes a strong stomach to chow down on a whole cricket head, legs and all. Also lots of toothpicks because you'll be picking bits of exoskeleton out of your teeth for hours.
Their bodies aren't really crunchy anyway. I assume they're meant to be put in a brine for a while before frying.
The cricket powder is like the ground shrimp. It's dry so the bacteria don't decompose it. They use it more like a flour. I haven't tried it, but I hear the consistency is actually decent and not what many would expect. With all the flavoring and other ingredients, it's just like protein.
Food security was literally the last threat facing our country, at least precovid, but the left still always pushed that shit.
They always claimed “food deserts” were a thing, and they are by their definition, but their definition is bullshit. If I recall it’s “no grocery store within 5 miles” lol. I’m sorry but that is literally no excuse. Even if you don’t have a car, a 5 mile bus ride even with transfers is nothing. I used to have to take the bus to a job that took an hour+ each way EVERYDAY. You can take the bus once every week or two. Or just buy a cheap car instead of an iPhone and DRIVE YOUR FUCKING SELF.
Also the only people hurting because of these “food deserts” seem to be urban people. Why do no rural people 3 hours by car out in the country ever seem to have problems with food? Why is it just the urban dwellers who live 5.1 fucking miles away from a god damn store?
Why? Because they are lazy as fuck and live off of government assistance. They just don’t give a shit because no matter how shitty they fail at doing life there is always a safety net for them, so they just flounder like a fat guy on his back unable to get up. Squirming is already too much for these lazy fucks. If they could get the government to give them a sponge bath and feed them with a tube while gluing an iPhone to their face they would.
The people committing fewer murders and rapes, even though you complain that they get less punishment (and therefore face less deterrent)? Sound like our better halves to be honest.
And considering how women have a greater disgust reaction, it seems that it is likely that they would be very much opposed to this sort of thing.

Mealworms aren’t kosher, by the by.
Great. Put mealworms and pork in everything instead of soy.

Eh, I'd rather have bug food options than have soy in everything.
When did we get so many soyboys? lol
I guess you could say ... bugs are the lesser weevil. YEEEAAAH!
? Mr. Caruso.
Not yet at least.
Keep it there.

LOOKS LIKE MEALWORM IS BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!

Its all so tiresome, no, i will not eat the fucking bug.
This isn't the stone age we don't need to eat bugs anymore
Of course our worse halves are involved.
Let them eat bugs! By them we mean of course anyone without breasts.

To be fair, he didn't say they would eat the bugs. He said they would make you eat the bugs.
