Basically there's this one mad scientist guy that works with the UN and WEF ( Klaus Schwab I think is his name) that allegedly says wack shit like "eating bugs makes people smaller so they pollute less" and "we'll infect people with the Lonestar tick virus to make them allergic to meat so they have to eat bugs!".
This has really freaked the chuds out agenda 21/great reset style. So now they won't eat the bugs or something.
To be fair I think the stuff is quoted out of context or outright fake (it is chuds suppling the information we're talking about here)
But honestly the problem with eating bugs realistically is parasites and viruses. Crickets are fucking gross, everyone who's worked with them knows that.
I mean when I worked for a pet store I had to farm the things for the chameleons and tarantulas and all their owners. They stank and would eat each other, even when there was plenty of food. Crickets are solitary animals in the wild so raising a bunch of them in a container is very much not good.
Isn't that true of most aquatic life too, though? I've never worked with crickets but I've treated more fish for parasites than I can count. It seems like there ought to be a way to treat the livestock for these things in some sort of bug farm setting.
Treating the insects might be possible, but the parasitic infections they can get are really wild. In captivity, they already resort to eating each other, witch is the perfect breeding ground for parasites.
Then there's the hairworm parasite, witch is present in tonnes of insects. Ever stepped on a bug, and seen a long "string" come out? That's a hairworm parasite. They cause crickets to eat each other even more and become suicidal in terms of jumping into water. So whenever you put them in the enclosure of a tarantula, or reptile to feed them they'd dash to the water bowl and dive in.

To be fair, they are freaked out for good reason. What the actual fuck, Kraus?

That sounds horrifying. A tank full of chittering chitin…..:rust-darkness:
