Bugs are inherently bad for a multitude of reasons. The reason beef and pork are popular historically are because they provide the 2 most essential nutrients for living, high density fat and natural protein. This is the same reason cow milk became a necessity adaptation in the human biome. Bugs are notorious for disease because they are too far removed from the human biome. Think of bug disease as lactose intolerance, it would take centuries for the human biome to adapt functioning, they want you on bugs for the same reason they want cattle on feeders. At the end of the day you are expendable to them, and as false capital decreases their need to control you increases.
There are better comparisons. Insects are close enough evolutionary to shellfish anyone with a shellfish allergy is likely to also be allergic to insects because of the conservation of the protein tropomyosin between the two groups.
Bugs being significantly different than Humans is somewhat of a good thing as far as disease is concerned. It means diseases which effect bugs simply haven't adapted at all to infect or harm humans.
It'd be like a cockroach catching the flu, it just does not happen.
However, there is the risk that a bug-based disease 'could' infect a human, and we'd have no adapted defenses against it.
Incredibly unlikely, but considering how many fucking bugs (((they))) want us to eat, the numbers add up I suppose?
There're still quite a few crossover pathogens actually.
Malaria and Lyme disease are two big examples.
Neither of those are obtainable from consumption of the disease, to my knowledge.
And as grotesque as the kikes are, they haven't suggested eating mosquitos and ticks.
I'm just saying insects being genealogically distant from humans obviously doesn't make it impossible for pathogens to have a foot in both pools. Not that eating them is going to cause malaria.
Basically they would have to farm bugs, every kid could farm their own ant food hill
This is nonsense.
There are dismembered chunks of bugs in every jar of peanut butter, in every loaf of bread. We are all eating bugs already, just unintentionally, because it's frankly close to impossible to keep them from getting into our food - they want to eat it just as much as we do.
This is nonsense, there is a massive difference between unintentionally eating occasional bugs and eating bugs as a main protein source.
The only difference I see is in the mass consumed. The effect of that is increased chance of infection, sure.
...But the chance of infection is already there, and across billions of people, It's already happening every single day.
Did you know that one drop of pure nicotine is deadly. People consume entire packs of cigarettes in a day, and don't die. It's almost like the volume matters.
No, this is a massive fallacy and frankly irrational thought. The difference in disease per capita per bug eating countries and non bug eating countries is insurmountable factually. China is the most prevalent case of this, most se Asia follows as well as Africa. Bugs carry more disease per population versus any other wild protein species period. They also have no nutrient density, when you look at what a bug is the protein is junk protein.
When I drink a single glass of milk it tastes delicious and makes me feel considerably better. When I chug a gallon of milk I puke before I even come close to finishing, feel awful and will likely have a horrible shit soon enough. Almost like the mass consumed is a very fucking important variable.
This might be the most retarded take I've seen, well done.
Mass consumed not making a difference...
You do realize that people take rat poison to control blood pressure, right? And squirt deadly nightshade into their eyes to do eye exams, right? Mass consumed makes a HUGE difference.
Give a dog a pound of milk chocolate and it'll be mildly sick. Give it a pound of baker's chocolate, which gram for gram contains a huge amount more cocoa, and it'll be a vet visit at minimum. Just cocoa, totally edible. But the mass consumed makes a huge difference.
