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.
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.
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.
