Edible insects: Scientists plan to feed primary school children locusts and mealworms to make the UK greener

I would immediately pull my kids out of school and start homeschooling them. I didn't bust my ass for the last 50 years just so the government could make my kids eat bugs.

.

Unfortunately in most European countries, not only EU, you are not allowed to do this.

I see why my ancestors left Europe and came to America then. I wouldn't remain in  a country (or I'd fire up a young war against it if I did stay) where my kids are considered Property of the State rather than MY kids, and the state was trying to feed them any old thing like bugs.

Oh, I've had run-ins with school administrators over stupid shit like trying to make my kids wear uniforms (didn't happen, in the end - I told them he'd probably be in a uniform soon enough, and didn't need any practice now), but feeding them bugs sinks to a whole new level. If they tried that here in this neighborhood, I'm fairly certain someone would burn the school down one dark night and solve that problem, so I probably wouldn't have to do a thing.

I've noticed that the local Walmart is trying to peddle "meatless chicken" made out of "vegetable protein". it seems to just be sitting on the shelves. They also have "vegetable meat" burgers in the freezers, and those don't appear to be moving, either. Burger King tried peddling those vegetable burger patties too. something called a "magnificent burger" or something like that - some sort of horrendously misplaced and abused name. I tried one just to see what it was like, and it was supremely unimpressive. Barely edible. I don't know if the still try to sell them or not, as I stopped going to Burger King after that experience - there's no telling what else they might try to poison you with!

Hillbillies are very familiar with meat and where it comes from. We prefer our meat to contain meat. If we want vegetable protein, we cook up a pot of pinto beans.

The post about kids in school eating bugs for protein, that makes the meals in Auschwitz sound like meals at a 4 star hotel.

Prisoners received three meals per day. In the morning, they received only half a liter of “coffee,” or rather boiled water with a grain-based coffee substitute added, or “tea”—a herbal brew. These beverages were usually unsweetened. The noon meal consisted of about a liter of soup, the main ingredients of which were potatoes, rutabaga, and small amounts of groats, rye flour, and Avo food extract.

The soup was unappetizing, and newly arrived prisoners were often unable to eat it, or could do so only in disgust. Supper consisted of about 300 grams of black bread, served with about 25 grams of sausage, or margarine, or a tablespoon of marmalade or cheese. The bread served in the evening was supposed to cover the needs of the following morning as well, although the famished prisoners usually consumed the whole portion at once. The low nutritional value of these meals should be noted.

Looming Price Hikes on Food Set to Hit Americans This Fall
Higher inflation could force Fed action, leading to a 'deeper recession'

In its effort to contain inflation, the Federal Reserve has launched what many expect to be an ongoing series of interest rate increases, which are already taking a toll on stock and housing markets, with job losses likely to follow. As weary as Americans have become from paying record high gas and grocery prices, however, another round of price hikes is making its way through the food supply chain and is expected to reach consumers this fall.
“People don’t realize what’s fixing to hit them,” said Texas farmer Lynn “Bugsy” Allen. “They think it’s tough right now, you give it until October. Food prices are going to double.”
The 8.8 percent increase in food prices that Americans have already seen does not take into account the dramatic cost increases that farmers are now experiencing. This is because farmers pay their costs upfront and only recoup them at the point of sale, months later.
“Usually, what we see on the farm, the consumer doesn’t see for another 18 months,” said John Chester, a Tennessee farmer of corn, wheat, and soybeans. But with the severity of these cost increases, consumers could feel the effects much sooner, particularly if weather becomes a factor.
Lorenda Overman, a North Carolina farmer who raises hogs and grows corn, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, said the spike in fuel costs has put her farm into the red this year. “Nothing that consumers are paying is going to bridge the gap for farmers right now,” she said. “The prices now have not hit the grocery stores yet,” but she expects they will start to by the end of summer.

Much of the cost of food hinges on the price of oil.
“They have no electric trucks delivering that food and there are no electric tractors,” Allen said. “It takes diesel to run all this.”
Chester said that fuel and fertilizer together make up 55 percent of his total costs. The price of diesel fuel has more than doubled, from $2.50 per gallon at the end of 2020 to more than $5 per gallon today. Farmers say the cost of fertilizer, an oil derivative, has tripled and in some cases quadrupled.
“When you look at the machinery that uses diesel, it’s farm equipment, it’s railroads, and it’s truckers,” said Daniel Turner, Executive Director of Power the Future, an energy advocacy group. Diesel “moves all of our goods, it grows our food. From cargo ships arriving from overseas to trucks or trains getting those goods across the country. All those things now have added costs that will get sent to the consumer.”
“That surge in food and energy costs is very demand destructive for U.S. households,” said Joseph Lavorgna, Chief Economist at Natixis, a European bank. “If you have to pay a lot more money for your food, to heat or cool your home, or put gasoline in your vehicle to get to work, there’s less money available elsewhere.” Price hikes in gas and food will leave Americans with less money to spend on other goods, which will reduce demand and have a knock-on effect on the wider economy.
Economic reports are indicating that Americans are already unable to keep up with inflation. Household savings fell to the lowest rate in 14 years, as people struggle to maintain their standard of living. Credit card debt is hitting record highs, and retailers say they are preparing for more consumers to limit their spending to the “bare-bones basics.”
While it is possible that Americans’ loss of spending power may help to reduce inflation, some economists fear a return of 1970s-era “stagflation,” rising prices coupled with economic stagnation and increasing unemployment. That period of inflation was ultimately tamed by the Fed raising interest rates to nearly 20 percent.

In contrast to the Carter-era energy crisis, which was sparked by an embargo from foreign oil producers at a time of declining American oil output, today’s energy shortages are largely the result of domestic U.S. government policies, as the Biden administration attempts to force Americans to switch from fossil fuels to wind, solar, and electric. This effort has included shutting down pipelines, suspending oil and gas leases, and putting up regulatory roadblocks—all of which has reduced new investment in American oil and gas production.
Last week, Biden stated that the spike in oil prices was “an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels.”
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said last week that rising oil prices were “an exclamation point” for the need to transition to wind and solar and “build homegrown clean energy.” Granholm previously stated that “if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you.”
With natural gas prices now hitting a 14-year high, Biden’s Department of Energy recently posted “a few tips on how you can prepare your home and office to safely navigate a blackout.”
Samantha Power, head of Biden’s Agency for International Development, said the solution to rising fertilizer prices is “natural solutions like manure and compost, and this may hasten transitions that would have been in the interest of farmers anyway. Never let a crisis go to waste.”
“That’s not the real world,” Overman said. “We are in the highest density for hog production in the nation and there’s not enough hog manure or turkey manure or chicken manure to fertilize our crops. We tried this fall to lock in some chicken and turkey litter to spread on our crops and there’s none to be had. There’s just not enough animals to produce the amount of fertilizer we need.”

“Energy is a very capital intensive business and we’re basically down to about half the level of cap-ex within energy that we had a couple years ago,” Lavorgna said. “A lot of that has to do with the fact that oil companies are not tone-deaf to what shareholders want, or more importantly what the regulators and politicians want.”

“It’s incredibly curious that of all [Biden’s] rhetoric, I have yet to hear anything along the lines of ‘we will do everything to increase production in America.’” Turner said. “They are comfortable with the current state because of their green philosophy, and we’re just necessary casualties.”
Together with ruptures in global supply chains, oil and food prices are a key reason why many economists think the Fed will have a particularly hard time taming inflation. “There is a real risk the price [of gas] could reach $6 a gallon by August,” Natasha Kaneva, head of global oil and commodities research at JPMorgan Chase, [url=https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gas-could-rise-above-6-per-gallon-by-end-of-summer-experts]told the press. “U.S. retail price could surge another 37% by August.”
The higher prices climb, the more aggressive the Fed will need to be to contain inflation.
“We think the risks are skewed towards a much more significant recession, as inflation proves more persistent than is generally expected … the moves from the Fed currently envisioned by markets will be too slow to restrain inflation,” stated economists from Deutsche Bank in a research report titled “Why the coming recession will be worse than expected.”

“A mild recession would be a relatively small increase in the unemployment rate,” Lavorgna said. “If, however, the Fed feels that it needs to compress demand further, then we are looking at a much deeper recession, with the unemployment rate perhaps doubling, if not more.”
One of the unique features of the current economic crisis is the extent to which it is driven by government actions, as opposed to a market failure. This includes trillions of dollars in federal spending to prop up an economy reeling from draconian government lockdowns that now appear to have had little success in containing the coronavirus. This spending was compounded by the Federal Reserve holding interest rates near zero while expanding its balance sheet to $9 trillion, flooding America with cash. These problems were then further exacerbated by the Biden administration’s re-regulating of the economy and its antipathy toward America’s fossil fuel industry, together with a western boycott of Russian oil and fertilizer exports following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Inflation is the result of too many dollars chasing too few goods, and, in this case, it has been a “perfect storm” on both sides of the equation. As the Fed works to cool demand by raising rates, some economists say the Biden administration must reverse the policies it has put in place that are undermining productivity and holding back supply.
“If you want to address the inflation problem, you do it through the painful way of Federal Reserve action and higher interest rates and borrowing costs,” said Jonathan Williams, Chief Economist at the American Legislative Exchange Council. But simultaneously, “you do it through the supply side, which reduces taxes and gets productivity back up across the United States.”
Given the federal government’s reluctance thus far to take the necessary steps, some states have stepped up with their own solutions, Williams said. Since March, four states—Iowa, Mississippi, Georgia, and Arizona—have gone from progressive income tax rates as high as 8 percent to flat tax rates in the range of 2–4 percent. North Carolina eliminated business income tax, and nine other states currently have no state income tax at all.
On May 17, Sen. John Barrasso (R-Wy.) and other GOP Republicans introduced the ONSHORE Act, which would give states the power to manage oil and gas production on federal lands within their borders. They simultaneously introduced the Lease Now Act, which would require the Department of Interior to resume the sale of oil and gas leases.
Asked what Biden could do to help farmers, Allen said “lower the fuel prices. It will save the middle-class people. It will help them when it comes to buying food.”

I gave up on all fast food a while back. To be honest I am not a fan of eating out. People have become too rude, angry, and nasty, for me to trust them with my food.

The horror stories of body fluids being added as vengeful, downright vile pranks, along with other acts that may be for expediency more than a thoughtful act, like food dropped on the floor or removed from another's plate if uneaten, or folk licking it, just makes my stomach go sour at the thought of eating out.

There is only two places I eat out without concern. Both of these place are owned and run by "very" close friends, that I know will throw out a whole day's worth of food, if anything is questionable about it. The workers are young people that are family members, friends, and or neighbors. Most I have known since they were born.

With the cost of eating out becoming quickly well outside of my fixed income, is another reason why, eating out is not at the top of my fun things to do list.

That is just me. I am weird like that.

Sharing video of glassed eggs test after twelve months.

I am a bit afraid of glassed eggs in Florida, it is hot more frequently than not. I live in the woods, and power outages are not rare in the woods, so keeping them cool for a year may be a challenged, and I can't stand the thought of destroying a bucket full of eggs.

A hundred and fifty years ago, they used to use sodium silicate to "glass" eggs for preservation. You can still get the solution under the name "water glass", but it would be cost prohibitive to buy the solution ready made in quantity. It's also used as a glue, and is what they used to glue paper cartridges for black powder revolvers together with.

I'm sure you could make the sodium silicate solution yourself, but have not researched cost and availability of the components. I had never heard of using lime until YouTube happened.

.

In reading this I'm surprised, as I've never had a glass jar of picked food spoil even after months  I do boil the jars and lids, add the right vinegar and drop some chili types therein, seal the lid on while warm and store in a cool dark place (larder)

I've never needed to use the refrigerator unless I needed some cold pickled food with a salad, in saying this, I must add which I didn't previously write is that I 'blanche' food before it enters the jar

@Ninurta, crawdads are called yabbies here and thre are several species which can be caught in streams, lakes and dams,

Nothing weird about you at all.

I'm glad there's someone else who doesn't go out to eat anymore (ever), because of exactly what you said above.

I could tell horror stories. I would come to one single point after TLDRs. People have bad days ... and they're more prone to take it out on others these days ... because there don't seem to be any swift repercussions for bad behaviors.

A swift pop in the mouth resolves so much BS at the local level.  No need for cops.  No need for lawyers.  Anyone with a lick of common sense knows what the problem is ... and could probably trace it right back to where America could be made Great Again.

back in the day before i bought my old business i was one of the service techs that went to restaurants, fast food joints and institutions to repair all kinds of kitchen equipment on service calls. the horror stories i could tell you about about the equipment and the people that worked in them. that was 20years ago.

one of milder ones, i was out repair a tea brewer at the time was one of the leading buffet style cafeterias chains in the U.S.. it was just before the lunch rush and they were placing food on the steam table line. as they were doing it, the manger came out and start tasting the pans of food. not that was the bad part, the bad part he was only using one spoon and when he got done he's rinse it off in the steam table water.
now i know that steam / heat is supposed to is kill the germs and bacteria, but what if the table isn't up to temperature yet?
what if he is sick, and is contagious?

at first i just made a list of ones not to go to, finally i just quit going. to be fair there are some that are really clean freaks, then there are those that only worry if the health inspcetors are coming by.

just a side note, something that i always thought odd. most of the resturants i went to i would always see cats around the dumpsters, except Chinese ones.
Just kidding.

Globalists Are Taking Over the Food System — It’s Part of Their Plan to Control You (June 1, 2022) By Dr. Joseph Mercola.


The globalists’ takeover of the food system is underway — if they control the seeds they control the food, and if they control the food they can use the digital ID to control consumer access to the food.

Story at a glance:

The globalist takeover is coming at us from every possible angle. Whether we’re talking about biosecurity, finance, housing, healthcare, energy, transportation or food, all the changes we’re now seeing have one goal, and that is to force compliance with the globalists’ agenda.

The global food system, and protein sources, in particular, are currently under coordinated and intentional attacks to manufacture food shortages and famine.

The globalist elite intend to eliminate traditional farming and livestock and replace it with indoor-grown produce and lab-created protein alternatives that they own and control.

While the presence of hundreds of food brands gives the appearance of market competition, the reality is that the food industry is monopolized by fewer than a dozen companies, and all of them, in turn, are largely owned by BlackRock and Vanguard.

Eventually, your ability to buy food will be tied to your digital identity and social credit score.
...
Through their investment holdings they secretly wield monopoly control over ALL industries, so the idea that there is competition anywhere in the marketplace is really just an illusion.

You never learned about their ever-expanding monopoly because they also own the centralized media.

It’s hard to tell which of the two is more influential. Vanguard owns a large share of Blackrock.

Owners and stockholders of Vanguard include Rothschild Investment Corp, Edmond De Rothschild Holding, the Italian Orsini family, the American Bush family, the British Royal family, the du Pont family, and the Morgan, Vanderbilt and Rockefeller families.

Blackrock, meanwhile, has been called the “fourth branch of government,” as they are the only private firm that has financial agreements to lend money to the central banking system.
...
Starting local co-ops and community gardens can also go a long way toward creating food security in the long term.

At the same time, we also have to reject globalist solutions like fake meat, gene-edited beef, GMO foods and all the rest of it.

It’s time to recognize that none of their solutions are for our benefit.

They’re for our detriment. The World Economic Forum has declared that by 2030, you will own nothing.

They mean it. They will take everything from us, including the right to grow our own food, if we let them.

Vid from the article:


Probably nothing new to anyone here, but wraps everything up in a nutshell. That is one very powerful Italian banking family (The Fearless Ones) that is rarely ever mentioned in the West.

Pepe Orsini – Italy of Roman Papal Bloodline. The Orsini also known as Orso and the ancient Maximus family aka the Grey Pope. Pepe Orsini is from the Egyptian Ptolemaic Dynasty Rulers and one of the 13 Zoroastrian Bloodlines of the Illuminati.

All roads lead to Rome.

Concerning rock salt. Edibility depends on impurities in the source deposit and if it was treated to help it melt ice. Water softening salt, not sure, seems like it would be edible.

Rock salt is often mined, crushed, screened and sent on it's way, but table salt has to be nearly pure, 97% to 99% sodium chloride, NaCl.

It seems to me you should be able to make a brine and filter out most of the impurities, then evaporate it into salt again. This is a method Morton Salt uses, but with large volume industrial machines.

Vacuum Evaporation Method
Another method of salt production used by Morton Salt is the evaporation of salt brine by steam heat in large commercial evaporators, called vacuum pans. This method yields a very high purity salt, fine in texture, and principally used in those applications requiring the highest quality salt.

The first part of the operation is known as solution mining. Wells are drilled from several hundred to 1,000 feet apart into the salt deposit. These wells are connected via lateral drilling, a recently developed technology. Once the wells are connected, the solution mining operation begins: water is pumped down one well, the salt below is dissolved, and the resulting brine is forced to the surface through the other well. It is then piped into large tanks for storage.

I like getting things from local farmer’s markets. That has become increasingly popular around the area I live in. During late spring-early fall, many downtown areas, including the downtown of the town I live in, there is a farmer’s market taking place weekly. I have been getting more vegetables and that from the farmer’s market. Most of it is organic, and I think it tastes better than the produce in a grocery store. 

Plus it supports local farmers, and the money goes back into the local economy. I feel it’s a win win kind of thing. I like getting local honey and local maple syrup too, so much better than anything I can get at the grocery store.

During the 30 years or so that I was gone from this area, an Amish community moved in. There's a mountain northeast of here that looks like a giant crater - steep ridges all around it, with one narrow gap in them providing the only entrance to that valley, and they seem to have bought up all the land in that valley and are farming it.

I've thought about venturing up there and trying to strike up some trades, but I can't think of anything I have to trade that the Amish would need. They're pretty self-sufficient. I've only seen any them out of their valley twice since I've been back here.

The biggest warehouse for fertilizers has been blown up.

That's the thing about fertilizers- they are chock full of nitrates to provide nitrogen to the plants, and those nitrates go up like gangbusters under the wrong conditions.

Fertilizers are really a part of the problem with production of food here - fertilizer prices have gone up almost 400% this year, and that has priced some farmers out of production. The ones that haven't been run out of business are going to have to charge much more after the fall harvest for their produce in order just to break even. That, combined with skyrocketing fuel prices to get it into the stores means that we are most likely going to be hit with some mega-inflation in food prices this fall.

Didn't the Fed just raise interest as a sledgehammer approach to stop us from being able to afford to buy anything, to stop the run away train of inflation? 

I guess they will stop inflation in it's tracks, when there is nothing to buy, and no one can afford to buy anything.

I may be wrong, about their reasons for putting us in a strangle hold, because I can't make sense out of any of this.

Unless they just want us all dead.

The better half and myself encountered some folks up at the road yesterday, they lost some cattle and were out tracking them down through the swamps. Our friend and his relatives down the road are helping with the search and we talked with him a little about food. He told us there is a new butcher shop starting up and the owner is someone he knows. He's getting us 10lbs of chicken from the butcher.

There's also a new farm nearby, about two or three years running with a market, we were right there when they opened and we are in with the owners. We are guaranteed eggs, chicken, beef and pork from the conversations we've had. We are on good terms with the local nursery owners as well. I just need to hook up with the Amish, haven't done that yet and they are the ones to get to know.

Networking is necessary, go out and get to know your neighbors and local market owners. You may find as I am finding, that they are like minded and trust worthy. Something else, since the pandemic, many of the local farmer's co-ops have closed. Now the nearest ones are some 20 miles away or more. It will become very costly to acquire feed grains and crop seed now. The local farmers and green house owners need to create some new co-ops to fill the void.

I have seen quite a few reports of this phenomenon.

I have seen even more reports claiming that this is no big deal, and happens every year.

I am having trouble believing that narrative, but that may be due to my conformation bias.
