EU ‘Green’ Agenda Calls For Eating Bugs To Save the Planet

Urges that environmental goals “will not happen without a shift in people’s diets.”

A new EU draft policy announced last week calls for “insect-based proteins” to be extensively promoted as a replacement for animal products, to save the environment.

The European Commission announced the Farm to Fork (F2F) Strategy, touting it as a “fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly” program that will focus on “increasing the availability and source of alternative proteins such as plant, microbial, marine, and insect-based proteins and meat substitutes.”

The draft noted that the program “will not happen without a shift in people’s diets”.

“Moving to a more plant-based diet with less red and processed meat and with more fruits and vegetables will reduce not only risks of life-threatening diseases, but also the environmental impact of the food system,” claims the strategy, revealed last Wednesday.

EU centric news site EURACTIV, noted that the policy is calling for eating bugs, and spoke to Constantin Muraru from the international platform of insects for food and feed (IPIFF), an EU non-profit organisation which represents the interests of the insect production sector.

Muraru lauded the idea of both humans and animals eating more bugs, saying that there is “enormous potential.”

“Currently, the EU is heavily reliant on the importation of feedstuffs, but the disruption in the past few months with the coronavirus outbreak has made it increasingly apparent that we must look to make our agriculture more self-sustainable,” he said.

“Insects can be produced locally and are a highly nutritious, protein-rich foodstuff that can be produced in high quantities in a small area,” he added.

The EU continues to push the idea of eating bugs, with its Food Safety Authority having approved the sale of bugs as “novel food” earlier this year, meaning that they are likely to be mass produced for human consumption throughout the continent by the end of the year.

“These have a good chance of being given the green light in the coming few weeks,” the secretary-general of the International Platform of Insects for Food and Feed, Christophe Derrien, told The Guardian.

Would you switch to an insect-based diet? Although insects are viewed as a highly promising solution to the challenges facing the food industry, many Europeans still see them as novelty food at best.@EURACTIVBerlin reports.https://t.co/15bRNTc0oO

The craze for eating insects stems from UN guidelines that “promote insects as a sustainable high-protein food.”

As we have previously highlighted, eating bugs has been heavily promoted by cultural institutions and the media in recent years because people are being readied to accept drastically lower standards of living under disastrous global ‘Green New Deal’ programs.

This will be exacerbated by the expected economic recession, or even depression, caused by the coronavirus outbreak.

This is why globalist publications like the Economist have been promoting the idea of eating bugs despite the fact that the kind of elitists who read it would never consider for a second munching on crickets or mealworms.

Unsurprisingly, restaurants are not seeing a big uptake for worm burgers, otherwise known as ‘bug macs’, or cricket based cuisine.

Appearing before a huge crowd in Pennsylvania Monday night, President Trump described his opponent Joe Biden as a “diehard globalist” who will kill the US economy.

“Joe Biden is a diehard globalist who wiped out your steel mills, closed down your factories, killed your coal jobs, outsourced your industries, and supported every horrible terrible ridiculous trade deal for over a half a century,” Trump told the crowd of thousands.

“Think of it, 47 years plus he was a cheerleader for NAFTA, the worst trade deal ever made, and I ended it,” Trump added.

“Remember I used to say, we’re going to end and everyone smiled, they said hey look give it a shot, I got it then nobody thought I could get that thing done,” the President continued.

“USMCA just kicked in and it’s incredible for our country less for their countries but that’s okay,” Trump boomed.

Trump added that Biden “enthusiastically voted for China’s entry into the world trade organization,” noting “that was the beginning of the China rise, that was a disaster. They were flatlined for years and years and then bump. Thank you very much Joe, I appreciate it,” Trump stated.

“Joe and others, decimating your manufacturing and enriching China at your expense, you know that,” the President urged.

Watch:

Elsewhere during the rally, Trump warned that Biden will prolong the pandemic if he manages to get elected:

Trump urged that Pennsylvania and other hard working cities need to be open, and that will not happen under Biden:

Trump warned that Biden is committed to killing off jobs in the city:

Trump further warned Biden would destroy industry:

The president seemed confident that wouldn’t be an issue, however, reading out his own poll numbers and declaring that it was “looking good,”:

Trump noted how Biden can’t even remember who he’s running against:

Referring to Biden putting a “lid” on events, Trump declared that Biden should be ashamed of himself for not campaigning hard enough:

During a second event in Martinsburg later in the evening (Trump held THREE rallies yesterday), Trump noted that Biden “doesn’t do these kinds of rallies because no one shows up”:

Nearby, Biden did briefly emerge from his basement, and proved Trump exactly correct, as only 20 people showed up to a field he was standing in:

After officially calling a “lid” on in-person campaigns events, Joe Biden met with a tiny gaggle of supporters in Pennsylvania just 20 minutes from his home.https://t.co/tuKjgofdpG
