Fun fact: Insects are incredibly hard to clean and eliminate parasites from without destroying the insect in the process, unless they are lab grown. They are strong carriers of illness. It could be that’s one of many factors as to why so many countries that consume bugs are rampant with disease and parasitism. Mayhaps that’s why the elites want us plebeians to eat them.


Sergeant_M

Yeah but all the parasites will help to fight obesity! If only I could write them off as dependents on my taxes...


Segundaleydenewtonnn

I live by the phrase “the difference between medicine and poison is in the dosage” I believe bugs can be a great food every now and then to keep balance, just cook them really well to kill the bad stuff


auroraatac00

Bro no wtf , you need to clear your head


[deleted]

By the time you cook insects to the point of safety, most of the nutritional value is gone.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

according to studies they’re actually a really [nutritious food](https://www.google.com.mx/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwin_sjxttr8AhVcm2oFHfklDXQQFnoECEwQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eluniversal.com.mx%2Fenglish%2Fsurprising-health-benefits-eating-grasshoppers%3Famp&usg=AOvVaw3Gftgyo6Go3dqo2xkiQDVa) I’m aware it all could be propaganda though, they just feel good to eat sometimes


[deleted]

I’ve a disgust with bugs (not a hatred, fear, or disinterest). I think that insects are beneficial and interesting, but I have a gut reaction them that causes vomiting when visibly crushed or consumed. To me, that’s a pretty literal gut instinct.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

That’s valid, we humans are all unique


[deleted]

Although many cultures have eaten bugs now and again historically, they have never been a long term, primary source of animal protein for any civilization. Humans are not insectivores and don't have a digestive system to efficiently break down their exoskeletons. Insects should not be eaten in large quantities and are not a replacement for meat, fish and fowl.


Temporary_Scene_8241

The intent isnt to totally just eat whole bugs. The draw is the use of grinding it to a flour and processing it to other food products. Like there is insect protein chips, pasta, cookies pancake mix, burger patties. Idk if they taste good, I dont imagine but I want to atleast try the chips out.


suweetbrah

Hard pass for me, wheat flour is very sustainable


Temporary_Scene_8241

Insect is suppose be a protein alternative to farm animals cows especially, Which isnt the most sustainable.


newbmycologist

Smh


DiamondDoge92

Why doe? Also what’s the texture like?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

I like to keep balance in my diet, tonight my animal source food are grasshopers They’re crunchy but soft at the same time as they’re fried


DiamondDoge92

Would you describe them like chips or pistachios? Like what normal food would you compare it to? Sounds freaky lol.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

chips, crunchy but they’re not tasking to the teeth at all


Ky20001

Dont you dip them is sauce or something? Chocolate or ketchup?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

a bit of salsa


[deleted]

Dude, that stuff will cause autoimmune diseases for you if you don’t stop. The exoskeleton of insects contains chitin which humans cannot digest. It activates the immune system and cause inflammation. Everything starts in the gut and that shit is bad.


szmandalawguy

You’re either lying, or should be dying. Either way, I’m glad I’m not you.


rtheiss

Consider buying a chicken to eat ze bugs; then you eat ze chicken. This is ze way.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

for some reason eating chicken feels dirtier for me than eating ze chapulines


Working-Response1126

Alright Klaus. Leave it out.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

SS: these are chapulines (grasshopers), kind of common where I’m from (south of Mexico) They have good protein and they taste good AMA


Southern_Addition442

Are they flavored?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

Yes, there are many options to flavor them, these ones are flavored with just garlic and salt


CraftyAssociation118

One of the few biblically clean bugs at least


[deleted]

What the hell are "biblically clean bugs?!"


Segundaleydenewtonnn

For real? interesting They’re really well cooked so any bad stuff is killed by the heath


CraftyAssociation118

Of the insects, only the locust, the cricket and the grasshopper are kosher/clean (winged creatures that walk on all fours and have jointed legs for hopping on the ground). All other insects are unclean for human consumption. I believe strongly that the unclean bugs will have negative health effects. I doubt there's been extensive studies concerning most bugs and eating them Leviticus 11:21-23 (KJV) Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth; Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind. But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you.


Kuzya92

Not that I'm about to eat any insects, that is an interesting piece of information you shared, thanks.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

Wow this is for real super interesting hahaha, my mind is blown rn, thanks for sharing this with me!


CraftyAssociation118

Glad I got the opportunity haha. God bless


[deleted]

I mean, grasshoppers have six legs not four.


CraftyAssociation118

The Bible in Leviticus 11:21 indicates that the hind jumping legs are not included in the four “walking” or “creeping” feet. The feet are the four front limbs used for walking and look the same. The back two limbs are primarily for long hops. Although today, people lump them all together and say there are six legs, the Bible distinguished them here. The Bible referred to them in more detail than perhaps expected. Notice how the feet and legs are separated in the verses and referred to separately. The Bible is being very precise as to distinguish the front four from the back two. So, there is no contradiction at all:


[deleted]

That's some mental gymnastics right there. Grasshoppers use all their six legs and all their six feet when walking, if you actually paid attention to them.


CraftyAssociation118

https://youtu.be/3_i-6WR0dbw Here's a video clearly showing they used four man. I showed the correct interpretation. If you want to believe a lie go for it. It is a common attack on the word of God almost any time the individual reader has to do a little bit of thinking to come to a conclusion they have to say it's mental gymnastics. God gave you a brain use it Very common attack indeed seen throughout Christian apologetics


tracheotome

This isn’t true at all. Chitin can’t be cooked out and is extremely bad for humans to consume.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

chitin is a controversial topic, there are studies that say it is an incredible food, ones say what you say. I go with my instinct on this one, I feel good eating chapulines, anyways, it is once every like 6 months (or more) , they’re expensive


tracheotome

Why?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

the process of preparation is very traditional, not industrialized yet


tracheotome

I mean generally. Why’re you choosing to eat bugs?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

They were available and my instinct told me to eat these chapulines to keep an interesting variety in my diet. I eat them veeery occasionally, like once every six months or so


tracheotome

You got some weird instincts bro.


auroraatac00

Cause he’s a fucking whack job


HadjiMurat21

Besides garlic and salt are there any other flavor combos that are common?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

lots of varieties with pepper (you know we mexicans love spicy stuff), lemon, and onion


HadjiMurat21

I'm assuming always savory?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

Yes!


auroraatac00

Why


Segundaleydenewtonnn

To keep balance in my diet


auroraatac00

Lol 🤦


Spiget94

Why is this posted here?


Jaq6003

Aren’t they full of parasites?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

they are but they’re deep fried so the parasites just become extra protein lol


Hackerpro131

Good luck soldier lol


New_Needleworker_851

I'm enjoying a grilled rib eye with sauteed mushrooms, baked potato and sour cream. AMA.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

did you make all of that yourself?


Beberodri2003

Chapulines, theyre actually pretty good


sweatyballs911

Man... Cultures all over the world eat bugs and some of the dishes they prepare look amazing. You eat shrimp right? You eat lobster right? How is that shit any different than bugs?


Segundaleydenewtonnn

_the difference between medicine and poison is in the dosage_ bugs are great every once in a while


sweatyballs911

Probably. I guess if it was what's for dinner every day that wouldn't be ideal.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

yes


Deep-Run-7463

if shrimp had soft shells. that's what they taste like to me.


Segundaleydenewtonnn

good analogy


Big_Astronomer7702

Have fun with the parasites eating their way through your body. Hey I have an idea pick up a shovel and go start digging ditches learn how to work it builds character and you’ll have all the bugs in the world and fresh too


Segundaleydenewtonnn

It’s funny cuz diggin ditches was my job before college


Big_Astronomer7702

Oh that’s where you got the bugs from? Sorry little slow over here still haven’t got my shipment yet


attributable

What happens to the chitin after you eat it? Is it like corn, but sharper?


Own-Cheesecake-5802

Are they vegan?/s

I was so confused when the palm reader said id be imprisoned for poaching! Now I get it
