Ehhh it’s all pretty “gross” to me, I don’t see much difference between eating a yucky bug and eating the bloody meat and organs from inside larger creatures! I grew up on my grandparent’s farm and was made to help butcher an assortment of animals: chickens & turkeys, cows & pigs, deer & elk… I imagine if more people were forced to do that part of meat preparation there’d probably be more vegetarians lol
No different from murdering innocent pigs and cows to eat their flesh. The only reason to do so is to absorb the nutrients that they have ingested from the plants they have eaten. It is much more humane to just eat the plants ourselves. We get all of the nutrition without the saturated fat and bad cholesterol. We would also not be killing harmless beings.
We also don’t need to consume other mammal’s breast milk. It is only intended for their specific species to grow as fast as possible. If humans were meant to continually drink milk we would never get weened off of human breast milk.

As well as being gross, ants don’t taste good. In a hotel in Nigeria, my wife woke up hungry in the night. She didn’t want to wake me, so she just reached for the package of cookies on the nightstand. She noticed right away that the cookie tasted bitter, but the scream that awoke me didn’t come until she turned on the light to find the cookie, her hand and her mouth covered in tiny ants.
That is what the WEF has planned for us, a diet of bugs. They claim we will just eat bugs and like it. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a member of WEF, has already given $millions to a factory in Ontario that is growing bugs for human consumption.
The aversion to eating insects is purely cultural. Westerners already eat snails, shrimp and crayfish, and in societies around the world insects are part of the normal cuisine. They are high in protein, easy to raise, and can be tasty.
Red food dye is no longer available for our food and drinks. The strawberry frappacrappacino the you get from Barstuck’s used to be harvested from insects, but scientitians have developed an artificial food dye that won’t kill you as quickly as the previous dyes. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/scientists-are-making-cochineal-a-red-dye-from-bugs-in-the-lab-180979828/
Finely ground, no visible legs, antennae, etc, call it something trendy that doesn’t sound like anything having to do with insects, and if it tastes good, lots of people won’t care.

Ants should be very healthy to eat. Since they live in communities full of anty-bodies.

Shrimp, crab, lobster, oysters, clams. Closer to insects than they are to cattle.
