Fuck it, if people want to eat insects, who am I to judge?

Just don't mind me eating my steak. It's always some uppity virtue signaling assholes that ruin it for everyone to respect each other's choices.

Yeah I actually speculated 7+ years ago that grasshopper/cricket farms would be a fantastic way to survive in a SHTF situation, or even just for off-grid in general. You could feed them to your chickens and all kinds of shit. I think it's a great idea. What, are you ever going to run out of grass? Same reason I speculated on rabbits, but then there's rabbit starvation etc.

But this noticable push by elites does creep me out. It shouldn't be something considered moral imperative, which they're clearly going to be pushing at some point, and then all this creepy shit with lab grown meat I've also been hearing about. They're definitely making some sort of push to screw with our food supply in a major way.

I'd also be curious what nutrition is missing in bugs compared with, say, cows or deers or whatever else. Because I know that they create certain vitamins and beneficial bacteria in their intestines that insects may or may not (I lean towards probably not).

Assuming I am reading this right...

Grasshoppers and crickets will still need protein. Just grass is not a viable food source.

If you were to do this I suggest stocking up on fish flake and growing a lot of carrots.

They love carrots. I keep them as feeders for my animals.

Ohhhh that's a great tip. Good looking out. I didn't look into it that much, I was just brainstorming. So you don't think there would be a way to just set it and forget it, basically? I was thinking of things that could be done with pretty much no resource drain. Why can rabbits do it but insects can't?

Rabbit starvation doesn't happen unless you have NO variety. Add in some carbs, fats, and veggies and it can't happen

Crickets and locusts have excellent nutrition. You could survive on "locusts and wild honey" for years.

The honey would make your teeth fall out. Then how would you crunch up the locusts?

On the other hand, I wonder what kinds of fun new diseases or illnesses will pop up from people eating tainted Beatles.
