The ongoing efforts to (literally) force bugs down our throats have been kicked up to another level as the European Union recently voted to approve insects for human consumption.

“As warnings of empty shelves and growing food shortages have us quivering in our boots, and inflation turns our bank accounts into vaults full of green-tinted toilet paper, the European Union has come to our rescue with a new (and totally not premeditated at all) food alternative. No, it’s not Soylent Green (yet).

However, it’s the next best thing. European member states have placed their seal of approval on a rainbow of edible bugs: house crickets, yellow mealworms, and grasshoppers can now be sold in frozen, dried, and powdered forms. Bloomberg, the megaphone of the ruling class, which wrote about the development last week, apparently wants to see much more insect action in our cuisine, from expanding on which bugs can be farmed and their uses beyond pet food and livestock operations (presumably to human plates), to reminding us that 80% of the world’s population thinks bugs are a yummy treat.”
