EU Approves Sale of Mealworm for Human Consumption
Worm Cuisine Set to Hit Europe’s Dinner Tables as EU Gives Nod - Bloomberg
"Dried yellow mealworm can now be sold across the 27-nation bloc after a Monday decision from EU governments and a food safety assessment, the
European Commission said on Tuesday.
EU officials suggest it could be used as a protein boost for cookies, pasta or baked goods, as they try to reassure fussy eaters that millions of people around the world already eat insects. It’s also a more environmentally friendly alternative to rearing cattle and other larger sources of protein. The market for edible insects is set to reach $4.6 billion by 2027, according to one
report earlier this year."
Enjoy those cookes!

Calls for Regulatory Approval of Edible Insects

"
The recent closures of major meat packing plants as a result of COVID-19 has
restricted U.S. meat production while consumer demand is on the rise. In particular, the
U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that between March and April, frozen pork in storage declined 4 percent and slaughter rates dropped 25 percent.
Although many news sources have
commented that it is still too early to declare a food crisis, others have
warned that U.S. food banks may have to begin rationing. Some economists
predict that consumers will notice significantly fewer options for meat and protein beginning this month.
Because the coronavirus pandemic has directly
impacted the agriculture sector and other sectors tied to food production, members of the edible insects industry have
praised the promise of the European Union’s long-awaited authorization of the sale of certain edible insects, hoping that the EU’s expected ruling will “have a snowball effect."
I was reading some comments on a youtube channel I like and came across this one
" There was a guy that got out of prison about 5 years ago and started watching programs on the TV that he had not had a chance to see in prison. He made a very interesting observation. He said, "Ya know, I have come to the conclusion that 'they' want us to live in houses the size of closets and eat bugs." That is the difference between the slow indoctrination that we go through vs the sudden indoctrination a person goes through who just got back into the world after a time away from it. "
If only there was some type of pandemic, and a vaccine to finish the job the pandemic didn't do.... wait, what?
