It is so frustrating when a conspiracy narrative is mixed with valid criticism, which ultimately only taints the criticism by association with the "conspiracy."

"here's a rational sounding thing to be concerned about, also have you heard of adrenochrome?"

Lobsters are basically bugs

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find it disgusting to eat animals like shrimp or lobster because they look too similar to insects to me.

It's a far right conspiracy theory, that OP's trying to tie to legit criticism of the CIA's atrocities despite having nothing to do with each other-- all in order to try to hide the fact that it's literally part of the Great Replacement conspiracy.

I've seen some scientists talk about it, but not as a "mwahahaha, we're going to force these people to eat bugs!" kinda deal like some people seem to imply, but more just as a "this is more efficient for growing protein than traditional livestock, so there would be environmental benefits if we can persuade people to switch to it" sorta deal.

Frankly I feel like a lot of the discussion is kinda silly, advocating that there would be benefits if people try to replace some of their meat intake with insect protein is not the same thing as forcing people to eat bugs. The intention behind advocating that is not malicious, they don't mean just any old bugs but generally farm raised ones, and besides, people already eat bugs anyway. Plenty of cultures throughout the world have dishes involving them in various ways, and beyond that, even in the western countries that a lot of this discussion happens in to my knowledge, people eat very bug-like creatures all the time as long as those creatures live underwater. Shrimp for instance.

EU approved few insects for consumption as a novelty food and will need to pass defined standards and inspections.

But conservatives, even in US used that as an argument that they will make us feed bugs.

Someone watched Snowpiercer and went nuts

for me it's been since expo 2000 and I would be actually interested.
Crispy high protein snacks with a low ecological foot print? shut up and take my money!

I mean, I’d find it fast too if it was my well-paid job.

My brother uses the history of the CIA to justify his support of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. If that doesn't really make any sense to you, it doesn't to me either.

Yeah if you’re dosed with LSD or your democratically elected left wing government gets couped, check if the cia did it. If a bunch of capitalists are trying to figure out how to get people to eat more sustainable protein and think bugs are the answer, idk doesn’t sound very cia. Not enough drugs or anti communism
