Given that the livestock industry is wholly unsustainable and steadily destroying the planet, it's a case of either this (insects) or adopting a plant based diet...

Spoken like a true vegan.

Crickets, bugs, larvae and other insects - over 200 farmed species - are part of an everyday Thai diet and found on supermarkets shelves in cookies, freeze-dried noodles, microwavable packets, frozen or even canned.
Oh really? Looks like we'll be headed back down the factory farming path, according to the kooks at CNN.
I'll let the chickens and the trout collect my organic, humanely raised insects for me.
�asking us to consider how underutilized insects are as potential food for livestock, or the ways insect consumption could benefit the environment. The original report notes that insects� feed conversion rate is fairly high (we�d get more for less, in other words), they could be raised on �organic side-streams� like human/animal waste, they emit fewer greenhouse gases and ammonia than animals like cattle and pigs, and they need much less water than the latter.�
If you needed more evidence that the �elite� and those in charge at the UN think of the rest of us as somewhat lesser beings, this is it. Do you think that Bill and Melinda Gates will be sending their housekeeper to the market to pick up a basket of fresh caterpillars for dinner? Will baked beetles be on the menu at the Rothschild estate? Will the Obama children have bug salad sandwiches in their lunch boxes when they go to school?
If the United Nations was truly concerned about the well-being and health of the hungry people of the world, wouldn�t they be teaching sustainable farming methods? Wouldn�t they be promoting urban gardening, micro-livestock, and handing out heirloom seed packets? Wouldn�t they be cracking down on companies like Monsanto and Dow, who are poisoning much of the farmland of the world with their toxic seeds and pesticides? This is pure Agenda 21 �resource management� and the purpose is to remove more resources from the hands of the poor and reallocate them to the wealthy.

I've found some bugs and larvae in boxes of packaged cereal in the past, way back in the early 60s...went right back to the local store for refund. Also bit into a piece of cheesecake from a 7-11 type convenience store, only to find a cockroach...luckily it wasn't a half roach.
