The US may be the only nation on the planet where we don't voluntarily eat some kind of insects. That doesn't make us superior, just odd. (We actually eat more insects and insect parts than we realize; they're in lots of things accidentally or not.)
Bugs or parts of bugs, rats, mice etc. is a virtual guarantee if you eat just about any processed food…if you’d ever worked in a food processing plant you’d know. Campbells soups are mmmm mmm good…

lobsters= "Sea Roaches"
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Yep, the average person eats a quart of bugs every year. Corn, flour, etc. it all adds up. The Goshute indians died consisted of grasshoppers. Kept em alive in the barren Great Basin.
Banquet chicken dinners are no prize, either. My brother worked at a Banquet plant for one day, quit, and never ate another TV dinner, ever.
A guy I worked with Offshore drilling rig, Bob, worked in a Hotdog producing plant in New York state somewhere. I've seen him walk down the steam-line in the Galley/dining area, see hotdogs warming in the oily water immediately gag and lose his appetite.
He told us of the hotdog operation, how he had seen some type of wheeled machine , a little tractor get stuck in the huge pile of ground up meat. Said they'd go in, in rubber boots and such and shovel the meat out of the way and get it unstuck. The machine was never cleaned.
Also machinery break-downs, men in there wading around for hours, paying no attention to walking in and out of the meat. Even coming in from outside and wading right into the squashed ground up meat. Pieces of Hide getting hung up in a coarse screen, hide would have to be pulled out and thrown away.
PRESIDENT TRUMP 2024/2028 !!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Bristoe The people wringing their hands over Trump's rhetoric don't know what time it is in America.
I'm not interested in eating insects..but if some get in the normal food supply, I'm thinkin' that is a lot better than the poisons that might be applied to the food to keep the bugs out? I probably eat a lot of wormy apples for instance, seems better than the flawless Johnson's Waxed apples at the store to me.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

That first dude on the video saying something about chitins causing glyoblastoma? Yet the study title there shows "chitinase 3-like-1" as being studied. As I recall from HS Biology, anything with an "ase" on the end is an enzyme. So, maybe it's not the chitin that's the issue, but one of the enzymes responsible for breaking it down?
And, if chitin is such a bad thing, why are they looking at it as something that works against human cancer cells?
And, have they studied the predominance of those glyoblastomas in certain populations that include a high proportion of insect protein in their diets?
Maybe it's like so many other things in life...........................too much of a good thing will kill you?

when a "certain type" thinks there are too many people on the planet, they have full intentions of working on who they see as a problem.
