The Green New Deal, the New World Order, or by whatever name
you call it – our betters at the World Economic Forum want us to eat bugs instead of meat. John Hinderaker at PowerLine takes it
seriously:
The Left’s two main targets, so
far, are fertilizers and animal husbandry. What is the end game? Leftists want
us to eat a largely vegetarian diet, with insects as a protein source instead
of cows, pigs and poultry.
This is no secret if you follow
leftist writing, but many people find it hard to believe. To be fair, there is
a great deal about modern liberalism that I find hard to believe. But the plan
to convert us all to insect-eaters is real.
Thus this headline: EU Gives Green Light for Use of Two Insect Species in Human Food.
For a deeper dive on how all this is fulfilling the Davos
crowd’s dreams of making us eat insects, here’s part of Itxu Diaz’s column at The American Conservative:
Until now, common sense led us to
unhesitatingly step on any insects we find dragging their bellies across the
kitchen floor. But currently, the masters of the universe are set on correcting
this practice: They prefer you to eat them.
In recent months there has been a
worldwide campaign, especially intense in the European Union, to convince us to
incorporate crickets and worms into our diet. And, as we are not yet crazy
enough to do so, they have found a way to make us do it anyway: by including
them as a substitute for flour and protein in products we consume on a daily
basis.
. . .
It is a battle that can obviously
be won on the street without much effort. I don't know anyone who wants to
leave their children a world where you can only get around by bicycle or, at
best, electric cars, where heating is banned, and at lunchtime you find a salad
with crickets, worms, and fake steaks by Bill Gates waiting for you on your
plate. That is not a world, that is hell.
For centuries, much of the
superiority of Western civilization has been apparent in our food. There is no
need to give our moral decline a seat at the dinner table. Refusing to eat
insects is a show of respect and obedience to our mothers, who, when as babies
we lifted bugs from the ground to our mouths, told us, "Don't eat
that!"

report is here. The American Conservative
report is here. In our household, we’re
starting to read labels on packaged food even more carefully.
