Tinfoil Hat Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I once ate a daddy long legs by mistake once. It was in some jam and I think it had got in there during the cooking process. I was eating and chatting with family at the same time and half noticed this slightly unusual shape in amongst the jam, which I wasn't focussing on at all because of being engrossed in the conversation, and my conscious brain only realised what the shape was after swallowing. It didn't taste of anything except jam though, but I still felt disgusted when it dawned on me. I wouldn't make a habit of doing it deliberately. I can still remember my older brother when we were both very little, suddenly appearing outside in front of the window with a big, fat earthworm dangling out of his mouth and my mum racing outside to try and extract it from his mouth. Even as a kid I couldn't imagine why he thought that was an appetising snack and I still remind him of it sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCP Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) There is a danger of harmful parasites being passed to humans when they consume insects. Insects also contain CHITIN, which cannot be processed by our intestines. But chitin is a polysaccharide that is very palatable to cancer, parasites, fungi and just about anything that makes you sick.

Golden Retriever Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) Shameful, especially since crickets contain Chitin which may be harmful to the human gut. Even establishment academia says more research is needed. Background and objective: Cricket contains high crude protein level but it also contains considerable amount of chitin that may impede nutrient digestion and decrease production performance of animal. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30187729/ Edited August 20, 2022 by Golden Retriever 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexa Posted September 27, 2022 Author Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) Is this what 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' was really all about ?

Can you imagine, the local markets will be transformed into those 'wet markets' we was at the start of the Covid scam! Live frogs trying to escape from our dinner plates, scabby bats & scooping up tadpoles as they swim around the bowl to feed to the toddlers. I feel queasy just remembering those sights. Dehumanising! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1033 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The ptb of west are brain dead perverts, who have no intelligence. All they do, is live a pervert life, and think thats what nature intended for humans, as they do it and want it. What vile people they are. The food chain exists, and it means animals, are drawn to there food. Humans are not drawn to bugs, look how many famines existed, and not once did these people turn to eating bugs. Did the famine in ireland, move people to eating bugs? Did the famine in ukraine, move people to eating bugs? No, on both counts, and every single day people are dying from no food, and they are not drawn to go and eat bugs. The ptb are fruitcakes. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgyDidgy Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 maybe some races do not have genetic ability to eat bugs and others do. Like lactose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaticWorld Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 The bug agenda probably isn't going down well, now here comes the damage control. From 4chan to international politics, a bug-eating conspiracy theory goes mainstream https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/npr/2023/04/02/1166649732/from-4chan-to-international-politics-a-bug-eating-conspiracy-theory-goes-mainstream/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
