:sicko-pog: he's like our version of Q only he's real and we don't listen to his prophetic genius
You mean this site really is a Russian op? Wait, are you guys getting paid?
insects are like land shrimps, it's already normal food in several countries, yall need to get over it
We already eat plenty of bugs in non-bug food given the allowable ratios of non-food to food the FDA permits. Which isn’t to say anything about the safety of eating bugs or anything just more that American consumers are already used to just eating whatever’s put in front of us with no understanding of what it’s supposed to be. Everything’s so processed you could do one of those simulacra and simulation memes about signs using a football shaped hamburger patty that’s like 80% goose meat. We’ll eat the bugs as soon as McDisney decides they’ve perfected the BBQ cricket sandwich
BlackMoldFutures, he was a poster here that’s gone under a few names as he gets banned. He posts absolutely unhinged and hilarious gibberish, including incomprehensible rants on how bourgeois liberals are babies for not wanting to eat bugs
He was the king of :jesse-wtf:
Honestly, the rants are more unhinged in composition than in premise. Lots of jumping around and not explaining connections, and an exaggerated dunky tone, but the premises of the posts are generally pretty solid. Except the sectarianism, of course.
I picture BMF as a hipster grad student who would either be quiet at org meetings or wouldn’t shut up depending on the subject. If the persona is self-aware (which I imagine it’s gotta be to some extent), they could be a real asset.
Oh yeah they definitely are well read and have a good grasp on theory, you can't make posts that are so laser targeted at the middle ground between thought provoking and totally incomprehensible without having done the homework.
reminds me of the professor who let you shoot the moon on multiple choice tests. if you get every question wrong, you get 100%.
Indulging in the "eat bug, live in pod" debate is honestly dangerous and plays right into the reactionary narrative. I'm honestly surprised that there isn't much pushback against it from leftists, the narrative was created and propagated by reactionaries to scapegoats the deterioration of material condition away from capitalism into some vague "globalist" conspiracy. And by globalist, they're not talking about neoliberals, but rather the globohomo: the lgbt, minorities, and us leftists.
I mean yes capitalists are pushing bug burger and pod, but with the help of fascists directing popular anger against such policies into minorities as usual.
We’ve seen how quickly things can become normalized under the hyperreality of capitalism. If they wanna sell us bugs, they’ll just find a way to not have to list the ingredients. Or to make the ingredients really small on the back label
Or concocts a narrative that there are "good" bugs that sigma trad chads should eat, and "bad" bugs only soy beta cucks eat.
edit: ""You will eat recycled shit and live in a cube" don't let the globalist take away your bugs and pods, western men!"
Or rather, it's accepted as a logical "nonpolitical", " objective" necessity. Those who don't are ostracised as ignorant and illogical.
On the one hand, it is quite disconcerting to see a 4chan slogan plastered on posts here.
On the other hand, there are certain valid criticisms that skew very left or very left by minutae. For example, the idea that the world is controlled by a small clique of very wealthy people is either communist or Nazi depending on whether one says those people are capitalists or Jews.
And they require far far less water and feed to make the same amount of calories and protein as cattle. They're like over 100x more efficient to cultivate.
I feel like the hardest part is additives or stabilizers and stuff like that. Like how most wine isn't technically vegan. Or small amounts of gelatin in things. Or cane sugar processed over animal bones. Egg is used in so many things because the proteins have remarkable properties. And so on.
My personal feeling is that worrying about vegan wine is a bridge we can cross when other stuff has been dealt with, but I respect people who have a harder line on that.

:think-mark: On the other hand those are probably some the easiest things to make out of bugs
They are all over south east Asia
I've eaten some. By them selves they are not that great. Way to dry and crunchy
I genuinely do not understand the distaste for crickets. They are crispy, they absorb spices really well.
Veganism is inevitable given the challenges we face wrt climate change and the collapse of indistrial capitalism, become vegan so you don't have to eat crickets!
Do you have any more info on this? Why couldn’t people go vegan and use non-animal protein?
I don't have my shit together enough to soak something overnight then cook it. It's shameful, but that's where i am.
☝️Excuse me, are 'pizza crickets' crickets with pizza flavoring, or a pizza with crickets on it?
Seriously I'd love a snack that tastes like pizza combos that aren't combos.
i won't eat the crickets i won't eat the crickets i won't eat the crickets
