Would you feed your family bugs to help prevent Global Warming?

Question

Would you feed your kids noodles with scorpions, or cookies with meal worms?

Would you substitute centipeeds for beef, or grasshoppers for chicken for the evening meal?

Eating bugs provides more protien than beef, chicken, and pork while demanding far less energy, and producing less waste.

Would you serve bugs, would you eat bugs to save the planet?

Why aren't you taking action now?

Answer 1

No thanks, I would prefer cow pies.

Answer 2

LOL!  

I think you've set a new bar here for your questions.  

I'm not even sure I can identify exactly what kind of bar you've set.

Answer 3

Seriously what's the difference between eating bugs and eating other animals?  They are all animals, they all supply protein and some people think they taste good.  The only difference is that people think that bugs are gross, without giving it a try.  I'm already a vegetarian so I don't have to replace my meat with bugs, but if I wasn't, I'd be open to the option.

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

Nope.  Not necessary.  

What does this story have to do with global warming?

Answer 6

thanks for the info, i'll remember that when the cooling sets in, we're unable to grow anything and i need to eat

Answer 7

No thank you.

There is not reason for me to eat bugs.

GW is a hoax.

My 2 cents.

Answer 8

My answer to all of the global warming fanatics would be - MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS and stop trying to create world Communism by scaring people with the CO2 fraud.

Answer 9

This is one reason I like your questions...the sheer profoundness. I can't understand why some people can't relate. Under all likely hood, if you didn't know you were eating a bug you would like it.

That's not really the gist of your question though...What ever happen to the family farms? The unity of such, and the  independence of being self sufficient? I think we both know the answer to that.

Answer 10

I personally do not like the idea of having to eat bugs, but if the believers in the AGW myth have their way, that is exactly what I will need to do to survive!

I will survive, although I doubt that any of these lunatics would however!

I could actually see having some 'crispy critters' for a snack if they were deep fried, but I would need to roast them in my garden under my home made pit, since I would no longer be able to afford any conventional method of cooking them.

Answer 11

yeah

Answer 12

No! I'll continue to eat domesticated meat and use up all my carbon credits. Global warming is a farce.

Answer 13

People criticize you because you struggle with scientific concepts.  I don't have to eat bugs because I have become conditioned to be repelled by them.  Others will be more open -- there is no rational reason to not.

Answer 14

EEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwww bugs yuck!

Answer 15

err no , but people should start growing there own food , cause truckers are going on strike soon

Answer 16

bugs are healthy for you

Answer 17

No, but I do get bugged about global warming.

Answer 18

I realize that you're being a little tongue-in-cheek, but honestly, if I could save bunches of $, and make them palatable, I might actually feed my kids bugs (or anything else that wouldn't hurt them/make them stronger or healthier)

;)  peace

Answer 19

I think I'll wait for a flavored tofu bug substitute, but in the mean time I'll continue with prime Nebraska beef, Illinois sweet corn and Idaho Russet potatoes.

Answer 20

heck no i dont care what they say about global warming.there are 2 reasons 1st of all your killing living things 2nd just think where that bug has been what its done

Answer 21

A lot of bugs are supposed to be quite nutritious.  If I could find a ready source of such bugs and a way to cook them so they tasted okay, sure, I'd eat them.  I don't have kids.

Global warming proponents don't want to live in caves.  That claim deserves all the criticism you've received for making it.

Answer 22

What an ethnocentric way to look at the world. Why don't you take a look at modern industrial confined animal feedlots and the fast paced slaughterhouses and then tell me how what we do to produce food is any less weird or gross that munching on some bugs.

Considering millions if not billions of people around the world already consider insects to be an important part of their diet, I don't see how this obvious jab at those who acknowledge global warming makes any sense.

Answer 23

If they try it and they still live after 70 years then I will try it.

Answer 24

I'm not going to lower myself to that level for something that we can't change anyway.

Answer 25

Congratulations!
