ants actually are not tasty to us humans.. they have this acid in them, formic acid? which tastes nasty i hear.

I ate a gnat once. Salty.

“Gross Peter. Bugs are gross.

Now get back to slaughtering those rabbits! And don’t get blood all over everything this time!"

Only gross by today’s standards. Primitive man probably ate a lot of insects.

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

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

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.

Before anyone attacks the message, please read the facts at www.nutritionfacts.org. The science is there, it just needs to be known.

Something I wonder about vegetarian police

Do you think they still go on stakeouts?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables…

What does a humanitarian eat?

POWs never complained

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.

@Geophyzz It could have been worse. They could have been huge ants.

Lots of people around the world do eat them, but I think I’ll pass…lol

“That and we have no chocolate to cover them with!”

Like chocolate covered grasshoppers, eww!

Maybe, and only maybe, with enough chocolate coating. Nah, still not likely. Toasted, breaded and deep fried?

Motorcyclist eat them all the time

I’ve eaten them, can’t say I enjoyed them that much.

According to the Bible (Matthew 3:4 and Mark 1:6), John the Baptist ate locusts.

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.

Ever look at a lobster? or a crab? giant bugs

You, um, have an antenna stuck in your teeth.

The very thought of eating bugs turns my stomach.

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.

Start with a giant Asian hornet and see where trying to eat one gets you.

I don’t think you should eat your fellow participants in the comic…

Let’s just let the anteater have a big breakfast then eat him.

It’s not about nutrients or what tastes good when you are starving and need food

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

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/

Yuk! Not for me for sure…

shrimp are in insect family, as are crabs and lobsters…the guy who eats strange things on food channel said scorpions taste just like lobster

Scott O’Grady (and anyone who’s been through SERE) will beg to differ.

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.

As boys, my younger brother had teeth full of ant parts after a chocolate covered treat.

And the “progressives” tell us to eat insects while they dine on filet mignon!

As 2 sentient ants saunter by, unmoved by the suggestion and reply

Anyone who has ridden a motorcycle has eaten bugs.

Well, not wild caught…

Cricket flour. Available in any major supermarket.

Silly man, we only eat bugs that come out of the ocean. Those are delicious. Land bugs… yuck.

Peter has a point.

Only North Americans say that.
