A Global Food Crisis is Coming

[Salluz]

I always wonder and am amazed how John the Baptist ate locusts and wild honey for his food!

I love the sound that crickets make...couldnt eat them. In 2016 the locusts came out of the ground here...they are ugly! Dont know if I could eat one...even dipped in honey or chocolate!

The cicadas in the US that we call locusts are not actually locusts. Locusts are a type of swarming grasshopper. The US variety (actually a cicada) would not be kosher. The key was the hopping and segmented legs.

Lev. 11

20“All winged insects that go on all fours are detestable to you. 21Yet among the winged insects that go on all fours you may eat those that have jointed legs above their feet, with which to hop on the ground. 22Of them you may eat: the locust of any kind, the bald locust of any kind, the cricket of any kind, and the grasshopper of any kind. 23 But all other winged insects that have four feet are detestable to you.

I'm NOT going to worry. God will supply, and if by His plan, our area of the globe is due for a bit of the usual famines etc that have plagued the planet from the get go, well then we starve a bit. Last I checked, my scale says I could do with a little less.

They might be tasty if they're deep fried and then salted.

There must not have been any wild cows in his wilderness.

Surely he ate fish the disciples of were fishermen.

Get 5 pounds of butter too then if we're gonna do this

Butter always adds the right amount of flavor to almost everything.

And maybe some bacon to wrap them with.

When I had Mormon crickets earlier this summer, one of the cats caught and ate them. Then I found a pile of cat barf, that was basically a pile of cricket parts.

I always said, "butter makes it better"... but with insects...mayyybe like TT said...bacon makes em better? Naw, just the bacon, please!!

Ok, so even if I was willing to eat bugs for meat, what about my cats? Will they harvest rats, mice, and various other small rodents to make catfood? I guess they could use cricket pizza as bait to catch the gigantic rats. Or bugs in cat food. I had a cat that would kill and eat the woods roaches that would wander in to die. We'd find um, leftovers.

Actually, my 8 yr old Tortie cat considers crickets fine dining...she specializes in crickets and lizards!

I wonder if reptiles are considered "meat" by the crazies?

Ha, you beat me to it!

You've never had deep fried alligator before?

Maybe I'm a crazy

 

[JustLikeHeaven]

But...THESE are gonna be ORGANIC crickets, right?

I will not "eat ze bugs" unless they are ze organic bugs!

OF COURSE..farm to table

Everything exotic tastes like chicken - except the insects! Yuk!!

I have nothing to add to this conversation. I just love how quickly some discussions on here devolve.

I drove a diesel car for over a year. I paid $0.30 more per gallon than gas. Today that number is over a dollar a gallon.
Add to that the price of fertilizer which has zoomed and we definitely have a crisis looming.
I just may buy seed at Ace Hardware and grow my own veggies.

Seeds cost so much in my neck of the woods that you might as well buy the vegetables in the store.
