We’ve all seen the headlines throughout the 2020s. The Instagram reels. The awkward celebrity cameos. šŸ™ˆRobert Downey Jr. and Stephen Colbert hyping up cricket kibble for a multi-billion-dollar company? šŸ¦—šŸ’°Nicole Kidman nibbling bugs in haute couture for Vanity Fair? šŸ›šŸ‘ 


Turns out the pandemic wasn’t weird enough—'Eat the bugs' crawled its way into mainstream meme status right in the middle of it.

But let’s pause for a moment. Is this reallyĀ food we should be eating? šŸ¤”



This video explores the cultivation of the industrially produced bug foods and the claim that they may harbor parasites, then expose the scam that is "The Circular Economy" - the new economic model being proposed by those who want us to eat the bugs.



🧬 Hidden Parasites: What’s Crawling Under the Surface?


Sure, bugs are high in protein. Sure, they take fewer resources to raise than cows. But here’s the crunchy truth: 🦠


āž”ļø Studies show that edible insects may carry harmful parasites,Ā especially when farmed in huge industrial facilities.

āž”ļø Think cricket farms, mealworm factories, and high-density grub breeding—all fertile ground for contamination. 🧫

āž”ļø Unlike beef or chicken, we don’t have decades of food safety standards built around mass-producing insects. šŸ„©āœ”ļø šŸ†š šŸœā“



And while the marketing is cute, the long-term effects of eating heavily processed insect-based products are still unknown. šŸš«šŸ‘©ā€šŸ”¬



šŸ”„ "Circular Economy" or Gourmet Garbage?


Ever heard of the Circular Economy? Sounds chic, right? ā™»ļøBut here's the scoop:


šŸ½ļø Insects in this new system aren’t being raised on organic oats and honey.

šŸ—‘ļø They’re being fed waste—expired food, trash produce, sometimes even… fecal matter. 😬


That’s the whole pitch:

You eat the bugs. The bugs eat the garbage. The loop continues.Ā šŸ”šŸ’©āž”ļøšŸ¦—āž”ļøšŸ“


This isn’t just sustainability—it’s a corporate strategy disguised as a lifestyle.The big players make money. You eat cricket powder protein bars. And if you dare to ask questions? You’re called ā€œanti-science.ā€ šŸ™„



šŸ¢ Who’s Really Hungry for This?


Let’s keep it real:


🄬 If this was about saving the planet, we’d be funding regenerative farming, permaculture, and food transparency—not bug factoriesĀ owned by billionaires.

šŸ” We’d be empowering communities to grow their own clean food—not pushing processed larvae snacks in shrink-wrapped plastic.

🧠 The narrative isn’t ā€œHey, here’s a fun new protein!ā€It’s ā€œYou mustĀ eat this—because the climate demands it.ā€ ā˜ļøšŸ”„


Does that feel like food freedom—or corporate feudalism in green packaging? šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸŒ±



šŸ’” Foodie Final Thoughts

Look, we’re not saying all new ideas are bad. Innovation is great.But when you’re being told to embrace an untested, industrialized protein source…


🚨 Without real transparency

🚨 Without long-term studies

🚨 And with a lot of media manipulation


…it’s time to pause and question the recipe.Ā šŸ›‘šŸ‘©ā€šŸ³



"So the next time someone hands you cricket chips and calls it 'sustainable,' ask yourself: Is this really dinner—or just a dystopian science fair project gone way too far?

Stay curious, stay skeptical, and yes—read the ingredient label.Ā šŸ§šŸ›’šŸ’¬
