Are we supposed to be led to believe that Biden’s master plan to combat food shortages in the US is to eat bugs?
Recently a US food processing facility made an announcement that it will be producing two billion crickets for “human and pet consumption” each year following the completion of constructing the world’s largest cricket production facility.
Aspire Food Group shared that the newly built facility will produce over 9,000 metric tons of crickets each year…and it already has orders coming in for the next two years.
On the company’s website they state that crickets are actually very high in fiber and possess a smaller environment footprint than other protein sources.
The cricket-producing company’s website reads:
“Aspire is pioneering a movement to produce exceptionally high-quality protein with a low environmental footprint.”
The online conspiracy theory “I Will Not Eat the Bugs,” asserts that insects are being prepared for public consumption to combat the food shortages we are experiencing, which could potentially be planned. The theory continues on to say that people will be convinced to eat bugs due to the impact of factory farming on the environment.
Daily Wire reported potential health risks from consuming the insects:
However, potential health risks from consuming the insects may cause allergic reactions and pathogen contamination.
“This research showed a significant overlap in allergenic proteins found in cricket food products and those found in shellfish like crabs and prawns,” she said.” That’s because crickets, mealworms, and other insects are closely related to crustaceans.”
“Shellfish allergies affect up to two percent of people globally, but varies according to age and region, and there’s a good chance that people allergic to shellfish will also react to insects.”
According to Colgrave, those with allergens do not prevent insects from being used as a food source. However, it does mean that insect-based foods must be tested and labeled correctly to ensure people with allergies don’t unwittingly eat them.
Colgrave estimates that crickets and other insects could be the key to feeding the estimated 9.7 billion people on Earth in 2050.
Not long ago did both Biden and Trudeau issue warnings of food shortages, as grocery costs are at all-time highs during the midst of inflation and a shortage of goods as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
And food shortages have only gotten worse due to a string of fires, plane crashes, and explosions at nearly two dozen food processing facilities across Canada and the US.
