Who fell for the WEF IDF shilling bugs because they had EXtRA pROTeIN?

Admit it, raise your hands. We all know how hyped and excited you beta söy liberal Jeff Nipple type of guys were for eating literal bugs, and copying Sweden's society.

>The AVERAGE cadmium concentration/kg of black soldier fly MAGGOTS is around ~6.5 OR MORE.
>The UPPER LIMIT cadmium concentration/kg for healthy, human-grade meat is 0.05.
Bugs have 130x times the cadmium of meats. No, not 1.3x. No, not 10x plus 3x.
If you ate 100lbs of meat or meat protein, you'd get less cadmium than if you ate 1lb of bug meat.
cadmium/100lbs of meat < cadmium/1lb of bugmeat

>B-B-BUT cadmium is okay
Impying these bugs having tiny digestive systems, bottom-feeding, eating rotten shit, eating literal shit, don't have a massive cacophony of toxins and heavy metals.

>>76804477 (OP)
nice digits but i wasnt eating bugs either way. unless you consider shrimp i guess

>>76804477 (OP)
Bug protein is less bioavailable
No one who considered this was excited

It bugs were so good to eat, people would already be eating them and harvesting them on an industrial scale.

It's incredible how much of a brainlet filter the "eat ze bugs" shit is because anyone actually mad about it doesn't know it was a bunch of venture capitalists paying news outlets to promote their product through the "shock attention all exposure is good exposure" philosophy, and anyone to whom this is told insists that this somehow reinforces their pre-existing ideology with absolutely no exposition because explaining it would require they examine it strongly enough.
Only sheep incapable of critical thinking still fall for this shit. The top selling bug protein product in my country is 5 times the price of whey protein powder and sells 1/10th the amount the least popular whey product does.

Not all bugs are the same. Shall we cherry pick mad cow diseased beef? Oh, beef is toxic I see.

>Professor Louw Hoffman said black soldier fly's larvae, which was already utilised for animal feed, was a high quality protein.
"Just like meat, it contains all the nutrients humans need for health," Professor Hoffman said.
The PROFESSOR said to eat up, NOW EAT UP.

It's crazy how despite being used as animal feed, animals STILL have 100x less cadmium than this amazing nutritious food.

There IS A REASON most cultures RARELY eat bugs or use them as a last resort...
>substances in the larvae of Tenebrio molitor and observed Cd concentrations of 0.0085–0.016 mg/kg. Denloye et al. (2015) reported Cd concentrations of 0.08–0.12 mg/L in termite species found in Nigeria.
Tenebrio molitor = mealworms.
Termite cadmium is still 1.5x-2x as much as the acceptable limit for food.
>Similarly, Abdullahi et al. (2022) reported Pb concentrations of 0.7 mg/kg in grasshoppers, 1.14 mg/kg in ladybugs, 0.23 mg/kg in termites and 0.04 mg/kg in locusts.
In the USA, which has lower standards for food than Europe, https://www.fsis.usda.gov/sites/default/files/media_file/2021-02/GB-2762-2017.pdf max concentrations hover around 0.20-0.50mg/kg in most foods. Bivalves (oysters and clams) allow 1.5 but actually have valuable nutrients unlike insects, they also don't have chitin which is inflammatory by itself not even counting the heavy metals. Jellyfish limit is 2.0mg/kg, I don't know why you'd eat that.

The only insect there below the limit is locusts.

Guess what? Jewish tradition holds that locusts are an acceptable, clean food.
There are no traditions for 90% of the insects the WEF wants you to eat, ancient humans knew by taste and by feeling that most insects are unfit to eat unless you are starving.

Best insects:
>locusts (not grasshoppers)
>mealworms
Worst insects:
>everything else
>especially: roaches, maggots, flies, roly-polies

>>76805356
TLDR:
>There are no traditions for 90% of the insects the WEF wants you to eat, ancient humans knew by taste and by feeling that most insects are unfit to eat unless you are starving.
>Pb (lead) concentrations of 0.7 mg/kg in grasshoppers, 1.14 mg/kg in ladybugs, 0.23 mg/kg in termites and 0.04 mg/kg in locusts.

Check if there are traditions surrounding eating a certain bug.
Ideally the bug shouldn't be eating pure shit and filth.
Regardless, chitin (bug skin) is unhealthy.

schizo post
Nobody was ever "shilling" for it.
The WEF threw out there once to see if it sticks and it was so bad they never mentioned it again.
In fact if it werent for /pol/ incels spending the next 5 years making EAT ZEE BUGS threads 100x a day nobody would even remember it.

So if I'm understanding you right, tradition is the metric by which you measure something to be acceptable?

>>76805891
No, long-standing traditions are not inherently good in every context, but they should have usage in specific contexts.

The reason sex before marriage was looked down upon was because of STDs and single-parenting being bad for children. Look at Africa with their incredible rates of STDs and the societies based on r-selection. Single mothers, statistically, also have children that ARE FAR MORE LIKELY to get into crime, especially violent crime.

This is a TRADITION, which on the surface level, just appears to be prude and ruin everyone's fun.

>Cod fishing in Newfoundland was carried out at a subsistence level for centuries, but large scale fishing began shortly after the European arrival in the North American continent in 1492, with the waters being found to be preternaturally plentiful, and ended after intense overfishing with the collapse of the fisheries in 1992.

>The communities who have taboos in their culture do not necessarily perceive them as instruments of resource conservation, however, they play an important role in conservation of natural resource... in Ghana, Kosoe et al. (2020) reported that taboos were found to be very effective in conserving biodiversity.

Traditions don't have explicit, logical explanations.

They are, however, practical.

>>76806252
Okay, so I'm just clarifying because now I'm confused. Is your standard whether or not a practice is beneficial or that it is tradition? You seem to have shifted your viewpoint or are simultaneously holding two views.

>>76806322
>>76806252
I'm not the other Anon you were talking to, by the way. I'm just trying to follow the conversation and clarify what your stance is.

>>76806333
>>76806322
>whether or not a practice is beneficial or that it is tradition?
Whether or not it is beneficial.

Tradition is just a way for retards and for people who don't have any scientific basis to understand it MIGHT BE beneficial.

I would not eat bugs, but if you were forced to, eat traditional bugs in traditional quantities and in the way they were prepared.
Ex. beans are usually boiled, there are certain beans which can kill you if not boiled, and many that will make you sick.

>>76806345
Ah OK thanks for the clarification

>>76805356
So you admit yourself that locusts are better than beef. Nice self own, idiot.

Im assuming you were the only one who bought it OP lmao. Only person upset is (You)

>>76806535
By two out of dozens of metrics. Chitin is still unhealthy.
