Idiot. The issue, as your wall of post makes plain..is that some IDIOTS have cobbled up yet another RW conspiracy to account for some talking up bugs as food.



A conspiracy theory that claims governments are trying to enslave people and force them to eat bugs has made the leap from online message boards to national politics in at least two countries.
In the past month, elected officials in the Netherlands and Poland have accused their opponents of plotting to force people to eat insects. The idea is also bubbling up in far-right circles in the U.S. NPR's Huo Jingnan reports on how a meme from anonymous message boards is making a leap into real-world politics.




"I will not eat the bugs" became a meme on 4chan and emerged in conservative talk shows and political speech. But why has it gained traction? In this week's Code Switch, Gene Demby and NPR reporter Huo Jingnan dive into the sprawling conspiracy theory behind it. Proponents of the theory lean on the anti-semitic trope that "global elites" have a plot to control the masses — in this case under the guise of climate change solutions — by forcing them to eat bugs.

150 articles this year saying we need to eat bugs. Why would anyone feel they’re being pushed towards something?

Wow, Who knew that NPR was RW conspiracy theorist and racist?
Well NPR did have a crazy conspiracy about Russian Collusion, and they have their crazy Jan 6 Insurrection Conspiracy.
And NPR is very racist.
They constantly make false accusations of racism.
