Two headlines from NPR illustrating exactly why they need to be defunded of

In 2019, the proposed government-enforced bug diet was all the rage among the Left. By 2025, the very thing which NPR promoted and advocated has somehow morphed into an unhinged "right-wing racist conspiracy theory".

NPR: Look at all these tasty bugs for you to eat!

I do vaguely remember being offered 'chevre' (goat). But bugs? ...no.

I don't know if edible bugs was a product ready for the supermarkets and restaurants but I *do* know that our federal government spent millions subsidizing a startup that was supposed to produce edible bugs. The
startup went belly up before it had a market-ready product.

Meanwhile, the facts may be even less savory:

"'I will not eat the bugs' became a meme on 4chan and emerged in
conservative talk shows and political speech. But why has it
gained traction? In this week's Code Switch, Gene Demby and NPR
reporter Huo Jingnan dive into the sprawling conspiracy theory
behind it. Proponents of the theory lean on the anti-semitic
trope that 'global elites' have a plot to control the masses — in
this case under the guise of climate change solutions — by
forcing them to eat bugs."


Whew, we're lucky they exposed that. Democracy preserved!
If we let the right wing conspiracy get away with talking about
bugs and elites who knows what else they could get away with?

And yet it was NPR themselves who were pushing the bug diet in 2019, which means it was neither a conspiracy theory, nor was it right-wing. It may very well have had its roots in racism, however, since the Left is usually guilty
of that which they decry the loudest.

And since when does "global elite" = Jew?

Most of the elites who were pushing crap like the bug diet and the "you'll own nothing and be happy" plan, like Klaus Schwab and the WEF, aren't Jews, so why is referring to them as "global elites" anti-semitic?

Or is that just another media tactic? Pretend "elites" is a code word for "Jews" so that anyone who refers to them can be smeared and discredited as anti-semitic whether they actually are or not.

Whew, we're lucky they exposed that. Democracy preserved!

As the Climate Cult's obsession to make bugs a part of your diet proceeds apace, you need to carefully check the ingredients on your packaged food from now on. Recognizing that most people won't appreciate a "Now more crickets!" label on their Oreo packages, they're just going to start adding in the bug parts along with all the other incomprehensibly-named chemical additives in
the small print on the back:

Grillodes sigillatus (dried crickets)
Tenebrio monitor (whole and ground meal worms)
Locusta migratory (whole and ground grasshoppers)
Acheta domesticus (whole and ground crickets)

All have been approved as food additives by the FDA.

Why would anyone deliberately put rat hair in food? It sounds more like
they can't get a handle on the problem, so they're giving up and listing
the contaminant as an ingredient.

No, when it comes to the rat hairs, they're not listed on the packaging as an ingredient. It's just a small allowance the FDA makes for the occasional unavoidable mistake. It's a threshold that's allowed below which a processing plant won't get fined for contamination.

In 2019, the proposed government-enforced bug diet was all the rage among >>> the Left. By 2025, the very thing which NPR promoted and advocated has
somehow morphed into an unhinged "right-wing racist conspiracy theory".

NPR: Look at all these tasty bugs for you to eat!

NORMALS: I will not be eating ze bugs.

NPR: No one's suggesting you eat bugs, you racist whack-job!

As the Climate Cult's obsession to make bugs a part of your diet proceeds
apace, you need to carefully check the ingredients on your packaged food from
now on. Recognizing that most people won't appreciate a "Now more crickets!" >> label on their Oreo packages, they're just going to start adding in the bug >> parts along with all the other incomprehensibly-named chemical additives in >> the small print on the back:

Grillodes sigillatus (dried crickets)
Tenebrio monitor (whole and ground meal worms)
Locusta migratory (whole and ground grasshoppers)
Acheta domesticus (whole and ground crickets)

All have been approved as food additives by the FDA.

Remember: "We will not eat ze bugs!"

You do know there's long been an acceptable ppm for, e.g., rat hairs...

Must you always feighn stupidity whenever you have nothing to say?
