UN Plans To Feed You Grasshoppers And Ants To Save The Climate

By FRANCES D’EMILIO

ROME (AP) — The U.N. has new weapons to fight hunger, boost nutrition and reduce pollution, and they might be crawling or flying near you right now: edible insects.

The Food and Agriculture Organization on Monday hailed the likes of grasshoppers, ants and other members of the insect world as an underutilized food for people, livestock and pets.

Most insects are likely to produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases, and also feed on human and food waste, compost and animal slurry, with the products being used for agricultural feed, the agency said.

    I think they’d actually prefer the bugs to be eating us…

    Well, if they get CO2 levels down to their targets, agricultural productivity will take a significant hit, so people may need to eat bugs, or starve.

    “Biogenic sources are responsible for the major part of the worldwide methane (CH4) flux (> 70%). Termites and other arthropods such as millipedes, cockroaches and scarab beetles are found to produce CH4 and it is believed to contribute as much as 25% of the total production. The fact that atmospheric CH4 contributes significantly to the process of global warming and ozone depletion justifies research in this field. In the past measurements employing gas chromatography have been performed, allowing measurements of the CH4 release of a single animal only after incubation for several hours.”

    I’ll stick with cheeseburgers. Obama can eat dogs and bugs.

    Soylent green is people, but that Soylent red? That’s good stuff right there.

    Whatever you do, don’t eat the Soylent brown.

      Exactly.

      Unfortunately the bug diet is only for us peasants. The UN elite and their ilk will stick to caviar and lobster, etc.
