Where did the bug eating talk start? I've not been offered any bugs since those grasshopper candies from Archie McPhee when I was a kid. Is it another dog whistle thing?
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.
I’m so confused. Almost every candy store where I grew up sold cricket and scorpion lollipops. They sell them at the airport in my city too. Why are people in suddenly going crazy about shit that’s been happening for decades? And it’s not even the same country that’s changing the laws?
Not only that the hasn’t the fda approved a certain about of bugs per batch or whatever in food for decades? Aren’t like M&Ms shells made with bug shells or something? Don’t worry, I’m about to double check myself, I’m just so bewildered.
