    They are going after the kids because they are the ones that can be easily manipulated. They have done this in more then a few classes. Making chips out of crickets and other junk food. Telling kids its healthier 🙄

     

    Why do you think they built that huge cricket plant in Ontario. It sure isn't for the pet industry. 

     

    And yes when you are sitting there telling kids if you eat this you will get extra credit. That just shows the amount of manipulation they are going to use on them. 

    Really lends credence to home schooling one's children, eh?

    Cicadas are a local delicacy around these parts, beloved by humans and pets. They are extremely similar to shrimp, in both taste and genetics to the point it is unadvisable to eat them if you are allergic to seafood. People eat frogs, snails, crabs and lots of bottom feeding creatures. Crab 'mustard' which many people still consume is essentially 'waste product'. I don't really see the issue, if people willingly want to eat something and it won't hurt them. Our ancestors ate them, sometimes out of necessity.

    Interesting, grew up living among cicadas, and never heard of anyone eating them.  Might hafta give them a try.

    But if it's clean protein, it's likely nutritious.  Chicken gizzards, hearts, intestines, feet, beef tripe,  balut, insects (minus silkworm larvae, never could bring myself to try that stinky delicacy).... I have eaten all of those and survived.  People who turn their noses up at those foods have simply never been hungry enough in their life.

    I can remove the indigestible outer chitin layer of a shrimp before eating it. And as shrimp mostly swim in saltwater the chitin is less likely to carry toxic microbes.

     

    Never heard of sushi restaurants serving up raw crickets. Of course if you google for it, you will find that sure enough there are chefs serving insect sushi. But being a thing doesn't make it a main stream thing.
     

    It is a puzzle to me why I am expected to embrace food I consider to be trash, while billions  are not expected to embrace my food preferences: pork, beef, crustaceans, shell fish, booze. I am really getting tired of forced accommodation. 

     

    Insects = poison. Not happening:. WEF, UN, EU, Ds, public schools, and whomever else are shoving this agenda can all go pound sand while I grill a steak on my gas grill. 

    To be clear, sushi is rice with vinegar, and has nothing to do with either shrimp or crickets.

    Insects are not (for the most part) poison.  While not my preferred dish, I have eaten them more than once and experienced no ill effects.  And many people who live in poverty conditions (the likes of which most of us cannot even imagine) have survived by eating insects.

    Serious question, what is the difference between eating a cricket and a shrimp? A veal steak and a dog steak?  

    As long as the ingredients of what you are eating are disclosed, why is it a problem? 

     

    (for reference, I am an omnivore - I eat some weird things [to Americans], but I am still picky)

    I agree.  My personal red line is left of the one below.  WAY left.  Too far left to fit the "family friendly" requirements of VJ, let's say.

    Hmm, unsustainable?

     

    Oregon to temporarily suspend popular EV rebate program

     

    Oregonians looking to purchase an electric vehicle this year should do so soon, before the state suspends its popular EV rebate program due to lack of funds.

     

    The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will temporarily suspend the Oregon Clean Vehicle Rebate program starting May 1 until funds for the program are replenished next year. This is the first time DEQ has paused its rebate program, which began in late 2018. The program offers two levels of rebates based on a person’s income, and it was designed to encourage the purchase or lease of zero-emissions vehicles as a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions statewide.

    The people who can afford EVs make too much to qualify for the rebates.  The people who qualify for the rebates cannot afford the EVs.  Bizarro world...

    Go woke, go broke.  Gotta keep that ESG score in good standing.

     

    Go woke go broke! SVB hired board obsessed with diversity, invested $5BN for 'healthier planet' and held month-long Pride celebration - but had NO chief risk officer for eight months last year

    DeSantis is about to remove DEI/ESG from Florida.  Love that guy!

    Ahh, now we know.  This was all Trump’s fault.

     

    Biden says Silicon Valley Bank managers should be FIRED over collapse and defends his response: Says money is safe, taxpayers won't cover losses and blames Trump for rolling back regulations

    What regulations did Trump roll back?

  8. So real, that there threat...

     

    Quote

    They are talking about the possibility of the London Mayor Sadiq Khan resisting a possible lockdown for London.

     

    The Department of Health adviser suggests: "Rather than doing too much forward signalling, we can roll pitch with the new strain."

     

    Mr Hancock says: "We frighten the pants of everyone with the new strain."

    The adviser responds: "Yep, that's what will get proper behaviour change."

    The minister then asks: "When do we deploy the new variant."

    Mr Hancock announced the new variant the following day.

    In a separate WhatsApp conversation from January 2021, when lockdown measures were in place, Mr Hancock is seen discussing possible changes with Mr Case.

    Mr Case warns against making small changes to the rules as looking "ridiculous". He talks about "ramping up messaging" adding the "fear/guilt factor" was "vital".
