Eat a Bug Burger. Save the planet!

Rebel News: European Union begins adding bug additives to food.

This week, a new food additive made from bugs began appearing in foods from pizza to pasta to cereals across the European Union, to the surprise of many Europeans.

According to the European Commission ruling that went into effect this month, a cricket powder additive is now approved for use in a wide range of food products, including cereal bars, biscuits, pizza, pasta-based products, and whey powder. The additive could find its way into a variety of confectionaries, soups, and meat preparations.

In order to prepare the crickets for human consumption, they are first checked to make sure their “bowel content” is removed, then frozen. [ Oh, well - as long as their bowel content is removed and they're frozen. Delish! - DD ]

Though many have suggested that the consumption of bugs could become normalized if used as a food additive, some argue that this could be a way for climate change activists to impose their ideologies on people.

The move to include the powdered additive could be used to convince people that bugs have already been in their food, as the European Union recently approved the use of the lesser mealworm, Alphitobius diaperinus, for human consumption.

In November, the Washington Post suggested that Americans forgo their traditional Thanksgiving dinners and instead look to eating bugs as a cheaper alternative.

Are Vegans okay with this, since they don't eat anything with a face or had parents?

Militant Vegans FAFO.

The Telegraph (Archived): Restaurant scraps plant-based dishes after becoming fed up with ‘holier-than-thou’ vegans.

Isle of Wight eatery defends itself against ‘nasty’ and ‘bullying’ vegans who were furious that their diet was not catered for.

An award-winning cafe has at hit out at “holier-than-thou” vegan customers saying they shouldn’t have to adapt their menu to “suit” customers who don’t eat animal products.

The Kitchen at London House on the Isle of Wight went online to defend itself against “nasty” and “bullying” vegans who were outraged at their decision to refuse to cater to their diets.

Addressing its critics, it said: “If you want vegan food, go to a vegan restaurant.”

The popular high street restaurant in Ventnor said that though it used to serve some vegan food, they decided to stop because of a “militant minority” that spoilt it for the majority.

[The Kitchen at London House posted on their Facebook page] "some nasty people have felt it’s their place and right to criticise this fact. Do you think that bullying someone is going to endear them to you? Is it going to make them rethink their decision…maybe I should? NO it does not!

“We have in the past catered for vegans. Everything from Vegan cream teas, even had special Vegan bacon made so they could enjoy BLT’s amongst other things.

“We stopped. Why? Because we got fed up with the arrogant, ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude.”
[.]
[Sally Cooper, the bistro owner] said, “We produce tasty, home-cooked food. We don’t want to cook plant burgers, pulses and beans. It’s not our food.”

She said that since her post she had received a call to the shop from a man who had called her a ‘disgusting, dreadful woman.”
 
However, the overwhelming reaction had been supportive, she said.

It seems like the bistro went beyond the call of duty in providing vegan meal choices. They made Vegan bacon! (Wow is that an oxymoron). Vegan Bacon! And the VegaTards acted as selfish, privileged, indignant, petulant, little blobs of protoplasm.

Militant Vegans - like Militant Anyones - always ruin it for others. Good for you, Sally Cooper! I'm glad she didn't cave to the Militant Vegans.

Apocalyptic bird flu "could" kill half of us. Blame chickens, says expert.

The Birds

NY Post: Scientists say an apocalyptic bird flu could wipe out half of humanity.

The coronavirus has killed over 365,000 people worldwide in just five months — but that’s nothing compared to what could be coming if humans don’t clean up their act when it comes to chickens.

In his new book, “How to Survive a Pandemic,” Dr. Michael Gregor, a scientist and physician who once testified for Oprah Winfrey in her “meat defamation” trial, warns that an apocalyptic virus emanating from overcrowded and unsanitary chicken farms has the potential to wipe out half of humanity.

Greger, a vegan, writes that “In the ‘hurricane scale’ of epidemics, COVID-19, with a death rate of around half of one percent, rates a measly Category Two, possibly a Three. … The Big One, the typhoon to end all typhoons, will be 100 times worse when it comes, a Category Five producing a fatality rate of one in two. … Civilization as we know it would cease.”

While environmentalists warned earlier this month that the world would face another stronger epidemic if we continue to have contact with wildlife, Gregor places the blame squarely on chickens.

Chickens never liked us.

Bernie Sanders hospitalized in Vegas. Blockage in an artery.

ABC News: Bernie Sanders hospitalized for blocked artery, campaign events canceled.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, 78, was hospitalized Tuesday night in Las Vegas.

 "During a campaign event yesterday evening, Sen. Sanders experienced some chest discomfort. Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted," said Sanders’ senior adviser Jeff Weaver on Wednesday in a statement.

"Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits. He will be resting up over the next few days," Weaver said. "We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates."

It is curious why Sanders sought medical treatment in the U.S., a country with the most deplorable and atrocious health care, instead of being treated in Cuba or Canada. He must have that Platinum Level ACA Health Coverage that only rich people can afford.

Get well Bernie. Your comedic value in the campaign can't be replaced by any of the other candidates.

Newshub journalist asks vegans a simple question. At first the comments were helpful. Then, things turned. Hint: Not for the better.

Newshub: I asked vegans a simple question. This is the response I got.

I assumed I would be able to ask my seemingly innocent question without getting attacked. I was very wrong.
[.]
But soon enough, the nasty comments started rolling in.
[.]
Within an hour, the suspicion had turned into judgments. People were accusing me of creating drama.

"You've been offered the truth. Now will you skew it, I wonder?" one person wrote.

Another person questioned my journalistic integrity.
[.]
My posts spiralled [sic] out of control without me even engaging in them, and I managed to get kicked out of two of the three groups I had reached out to.

Vegans complain that they are stereotyped for being too preachy and self-righteous, but I had just been bullied by at least 50 people who didn't know me from a piece of tofu, after I turned to them for advice.
