They Do Want You to "Eat the Bugs"
Cicada Season Is Almost Here, and It's Important to Remember the Bugs Thing is a Conspiracy Fact, Not Conspiracy Theory
Cicada season is almost back, and so it’s time not just for farmers to fret about their crops, but for normal Americans to remember that the war on meat is real1 and the powers that be do, in fact, want you to be eating bugs instead of normal, healthy foods like American beef. Like the World Economic Forum’s “You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy” threat,2 even as the powers that be and their media apparatchiks claim that “you will eat the bugs” is a conspiracy theory, they advocate for it as well. This article will explore both the push for the “Eat the Bugs” and why it matters.
They Do, in Fact, Want You to Eat the Bugs
What They Want You To Believe
A good rule of thumb is that if the government is denying something, that something is worth looking into because the government is certainly doing exactly that thing. Or, as Chancellor Otto von Bismark put it, “Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.”3
With that in mind, let’s turn to government-funded regime mouthpiece NPR, which has now ridiculed the idea that the government or shadowy powers that be want you to be eating the bugs five times in (roughly) the past year. It did so on:
March 31, 2023: “How a conspiracy theory about eating bugs made its way to international politics”4
April 2, 2023: “From 4chan to international politics, a bug-eating conspiracy theory goes mainstream”5
July 19, 2023: “This right wing conspiracy theory about eating bugs is about as racist as you think”6
Also July 19, 2023: “How "I will not eat the bugs" attacks Davos and leverages…”7
March 6, 2024: “This right wing conspiracy theory about eating bugs is about as racist as you think”8 (this appears to be a reprint of the first July 19, 2023 article)
NPR is far from the only regime mouthpiece claiming that the “you will eat the bugs” line is a conspiracy theory. The Independent,9 Fortune,10 The Daily Beast,11 and many others have all pushed the lie that it’s only a conspiracy theory and that belief in it is some combination of racist, far-right, and crazy.
What Is True
What the WEF Wants
As could be expected from NPR’s frantic attempt to paint the belief that the powers that be want you to eat bugs as a conspiracy theory, it’s anything but. Rather, the idea that Western populations need to eat bugs instead of beef to fight climate change originated in climate-obsessed academic circles and was popularized by Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum (WEF) in the late 2010s.
For example, in October 2018, the WEF posted about eating the bugs on Twitter.12 In the post, it said, “we might be eating insects soon,” and included a graph of carbon emissions for the raising of insects and various farm animals. Check that tweet out here:
The linked article on the WEF website, one which was written in July of 2018, touts the supposed benefits to the environment of focusing on bug production rather than traditional farm animals. It provides:13
Per kilo of live weight, bugs emit less harmful gas than more mainstream farm animals. A cow, for example, produces 2.8 kg of greenhouse gas per kilo of live body weight. Insects, on the other hand, produce just 2 grams.
They also consume fewer resources than traditional livestock. For each kilo it weighs, a cow needs 10 kg of feed. Bugs on the other hand need just 1.7 kg.
Water, which is becoming an increasingly scarce resource in some parts of the world – and which is used liberally in intensive farming – offers another interesting comparison. To produce a single gram of insect protein, you’d need 23 litres of water. That might sound like a lot. But to get that same gram of protein from cattle, you’d need 112 litres of water.
…
It may not be too long before we can all buy a bag of edible insects at our local grocery store. Despite being eaten by 2 billion people globally, EU laws have prevented the sale of insects for human consumption.
However, the EU’s new Novel Food Regulation, which came into force in January, might mean insects will become a more common sight on European plates.
In 2017, Switzerland changed its food safety laws and became the first European country to allow the sale of insect-based food for humans. And the same year, the Coop unveiled a range of mealworm burgers and balls in some of its Swiss supermarkets.
In March, IKEA’s external innovation lab SPACE10 revealed it is “reimagining” popular dishes at the retailer’s in-store restaurants. In a blog post, the researchers explain that they are working on bug burgers and mealworm meatballs, but add that the new ingredients are being tested so customers won’t find them on IKEA menus.
Similarly, it did so again in July of 2021. That time, the “you will eat the bugs” push came in an article titled, “Why we need to give insects the role they deserve in our food systems.” That article claimed, in part:14
The world's population will reach 9.7 billion people by 2050. This means that despite only 4% of arable land remaining available on the surface of our planet an additional 2 billion more humans will have to be fed.
In order to address this impending crisis, world experts and leaders will meet this autumn at the UN Food Summit and then the COP26. Often overlooked in these discussions is the potential role insects can play in helping meet this challenge.
…
Insect rearing is less expensive than conventional farming in terms of CO2, water, surface area and raw materials. Moreover, raising insects allows a reduction of almost 99% in pollution compared to other forms of animal farming, with 80 times less methane emissions than beef. Furthermore, it is possible to breed insects with agricultural by-products, for example, with products from crops that are not intended for human consumption, thus optimizing agricultural production by reducing waste. Finally, insect protein as a substitute for fishmeal in aquaculture makes it possible to limit intensive over-fishing and strengthen sea biodiversity.
Then, in February of 2022, the WEF ran an article titled “5 reasons why eating insects could reduce climate change”.15 As could be expected, that article, like the others, claimed that eating insects would be wonderful because they’re supposedly better for the environment than traditional protein sources like cows and chickens.
Of course, the WEF claims that such articles are purely meant for the purpose of fostering discussion, not foisting eating the bugs on anyone. But that is belied by its other, connected, policy pushes. For example, in its 2023 “Global Risks Report,” the WEF called for a transition to “net-zero” agriculture to avoid “food crises” and promote “food security.” It wrote, in a section titled, “Transition to net-zero, nature-positive food”:16
We must face this crisis with the certainty of multiple food crises to follow. Investing in healthy soils and innovation for decarbonizing food value-chains, will create carbon sinks, improve nutrient density, reduce food losses, and boost jobs and livelihoods of farmers, especially 500 million smallholders, who are on the frontlines of this crisis– but they need support to transition to climate-smart approaches through aligned incentives, radical policy measures, tailored risk models and credit services, supply chain procurement and market demand.
Such “net-zero” food would, of course, include the insects they’d previously spoken so positively about. Glenn Beck writer Katarina Bradford thoroughly documented the WEF’s various calls for radical change as regards agriculture and bug-eating in an article that was part of Beck’s series on the Great Reset. She wrote:17
In its 2023 Global Risks Report, the World Economic Forum called for the "transition to net-zero, nature-positive food" to fight "food insecurity." In other words, the WEF imagines a future with minimal meat and maximum "zero-emissions food"—like bugs—as consumers' main source of protein. This is a part of "the Great Reset," the agenda proposed by the World Economic Forum in 2020, urging leaders to take advantage of the COVID-19 crisis to restructure the "world order" to bring about a leftist Utopia.
…
The major concern is the way in which the WEF wants to mandate insect consumption, and, consequentially, destroy the beef industry.
According to the same 2023 Risk Report, the WEF calls for "radical policy measures" to bring about the food transition to zero-net-emissions food, like insects. This means imposing such a burden on the dairy and cattle industries that it renders them impossible to function, paving the way for a new insect industry.
In the Netherlands, the EU's largest food exporter, the government is forcing the farmers to sell their land to the state unless they reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer used. However, without nitrogen fertilizer, it is nearly impossible for the farmers to produce enough food to feed the nation, not to mention turn a profit. Moreover, without nitrogen fertilizer, it will be impossible for cattle farmers to produce enough food to feed their cows. This is an impossible burden for farmers to bear, and they often capitulate and sell their land to the government, paving the way for a burgeoning insect industry. Is it any coincidence the EU is pushing for insects as a means of "food sufficiency" and combatting climate change?
If you think eating insects is a novel issue from across the pond, think again. There is a growing push for a "beef tax" in the U.S. to disincentivize beef consumption and incentivize alternative "sustainable" protein sources...like bugs. According to 2021, data, U.S. beef is a 79-billion-dollar-per-year industry, employing million across the U.S.'s 700,000 cattle farms. These stats don't even include the U.S.'s dairy industry. If the global environmentalists have their way, this major U.S. industry will be wiped out, wreaking havoc on our economy. Yet this government control over the "everyday person's" consumption is all too tantalizing.
Similarly, Dutch political activist Eva Vlaardingerbroek, one of those fighting the war on non-bug-based agriculture and farmers in the Netherlands, appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in April of 2023 to speak about the issue.18 She, explaining the non-climate reason why governments are pushing for bug consumption, said, “I think that the push for insect eating is just a compliance test because our politicians know that when they control the food, they control the people.”
Continuing, she explained how WEF-preferred policies would destroy food security, not enhance it, noting: “The fact that we, the second-largest exporter of agricultural products in the world, our nation with such a rich farming history, is now cracking down on its farms and opening insect factories should be of no surprise to you. This is not something that is just going to affect the food supply of the Netherlands. Like I said, we’re the second-largest exporter of agricultural products in the world after America. So this will influence the food supply worldwide. And we’ve spoken to farmers who said, well, this could lead to actual starvation if we’re not careful.”
The WEF appears to be using the so-called “nudge theory” to push bug consumption, using small cues to get people to consider such meals food rather than disgusting. Such is what American Greatness author Debra Keine noted in a 2022 article, reporting:19
“Most of us know that vegetarian options are better for our health and the planet, and now scientists are studying how to convince us to make more sustainable choices,” WEF senior writer Simon Torkington wrote in an article in March about how to convince people to eat less meat.
Torkington cited a study by the World Resources Institute (WRI) which found that “displaying thoughtfully framed environmental messages on restaurant menus can significantly increase customers’ uptake of lower carbon, plant-rich dishes.”
Researchers asked 6,000 meat-eaters to choose options from an online menu, using former Obama official Cass Suntein’s infamous “nudge theory” to encourage one group to consider non-meat menu selections.
Participants in the control group got a normal menu, while others were offered prompts that asked them to consider eating less meat. These subtle interventions are derived from a branch of behavioural science known as “nudge theory.” At its core is the idea that positive reinforcement influences decision making.
One method “nudge theory” adherents apparently use to persuade people is to lie to them about what their peers think.
“90 percent of Americans are making the change to eat less meat. Join this growing movement and choose plant-based dishes that have less impact on the climate and are kinder to the planet,” one of the “nudges” said.
The results from the study reportedly showed “a dramatic rise in the selection of non-meat options by those who were nudged to make healthier and more sustainable choices.”
It remains to be seen whether most Americans can be talked into adding beetles and grasshoppers to their diets to save the planet.
So, while the WEF claims it is merely fostering discussion, it is doing much more. It is pushing governments to adopt incredibly radical agricultural policies that would lead to significant food insecurity while at the same time using psy-op techniques to push bug-eating on the populace and convince farmers and authorities to replace traditional agriculture with bug-raising operations.
The Non-WEF Bug Proponents
While the WEF is heavily involved in pushing for bug consumption and agricultural changes of the sort Eva and others say would be disastrous, it's far from the only organization doing so. Others, from organizations and companies to individuals, are pushing the same message.
Among them is, for example Professor Arnold Van Huis at Wageningen University. He was arguing for insect-eating before even the WEF, giving a Ted Talk on the matter in 2013.20 He also spoke about the matter over the years, saying in 2017, for example, that we need to start eating bugs to save the planet.21 He said the same in an interview on Fox Nation in 2023, saying insect consumption is “absolutely necessary.”22 Other academics have joined in, such as Peter Alexander, of the University of Edinburgh, who co-authored a 2022 study about the benefit of bugs in reducing agricultural land use and said “small changes in consumer behaviour would help to achieve a sustainable diet.”23 Similarly, the University of Minnesota pushes bug eating,24 as does the American Heart Association.25
Also joining in is Dr. Marwa Shumo, who calls for insect consumption as a way of demolishing the Western diet and even blames humans for deaths caused by bugs, bizarrely saying, “It's actually people who invaded insect territory. People who damaged the environment and created, still water for mosquitoes to multiply transmit malaria. It’s a problem humans created by trying to manage the equilibrium of the ecosystem and make it only competent for human pleasures and luxuries rather than taking into consideration our coexistence with other members of this ecosystem.”26 She wants people to eat black soldier flies instead of meat.27

Media organizations are involved as well. Fortune, for example, despite claiming that it is a racist conspiracy theory to say the elites want you to eat the bugs, has a whole section on its website about “edible insects”28 and ran a video in 2016 about the subject.29 Similarly, Bloomberg threateningly wrote an article titled “You Will Eat Bugs - And Like It.”30 The Washington Post, which told people they “should” eat bugs as early as 201331 and 2014,32 remains staunchly on the side of bug consumption.33 It even claimed we “must” make bugs a bigger part of the food supply chain in 2021.34
Further, the UN popularized the concept in 2013 with a paper titled, “Edible insects Future prospects for food and feed security.”35
There are near-infinitely more tweets, talks, studies, and articles about similar topics, but those are a good collection, as they show the general argument, which is that bug consumption not only is a supposedly good thing, but “must” occur and required dramatic and radical changes to the agricultural system to effect its occurrence. Though few go so far as to declare that it must be compulsory, the war on farmers in the Netherlands indicates that Western governments take the WEF’s anti-traditional agriculture agenda seriously,36 even if they don’t tend to admit it in public.
What the Pro-Bug Push Is Really About, and Why It Must Be Stopped
While the pro-bug crowd claims that bugs have huge benefits, from decreasing the cost of protein to decreasing the amount of land that needs to be used for architecture, such claims are not really true. For one, the “sustainability” aspect is illusory at best, and bugs might be worse from a sustainability perspective than normal farm animals.37 Second, even if the sustainability issue was not present (though it alone makes their production and consumption pointless), eating enough insects to get even the minimum required amount of protein would be a challenge, and hitting the recommended 1 gram/pound of bodyweight amount of protein necessary for building muscle would be nearly impossible.38
Then there are the other issues, chief among them that, as even a bug enthusiast admits, “They’re expensive and ill-suited for both our diets and our dining culture.”39 They also taste terrible, and eating them in any large amount is “absolutely awful.”40 Even more concerningly, most farmed insects the WEF recommends eating, such as mealworms and crickets, are infected with pathogenic parasites. A study on the matter found:41
“The experimental material comprised samples of live insects (imagines) from 300 household farms and pet stores, including 75 mealworm farms, 75 house cricket farms, 75 Madagascar hissing cockroach farms and 75 migrating locust farms. Parasites were detected in 244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insect farms. In 206 (68.67%) of the cases, the identified parasites were pathogenic for insects only; in 106 (35.33%) cases, parasites were potentially parasitic for animals; and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans. Edible insects are an underestimated reservoir of human and animal parasites.”
What all that means is that eating bugs means we won’t save much farmland or be more sustainable than with traditional agriculture, the food will taste terrible, food will cost more, you won’t get enough protein for muscle growth, and those eating the bugs will get parasites. In other words, there are no benefits and many downsides, and anyone who looks into insect consumption with any degree of seriousness can determine as much relatively quickly and easily.
So, if that’s the case, which it is, why do the powers that be still push insect consumption? Why do they want you to eat bugs if it means you’ll be unhealthier?
Because, as Eva noted, they want to control you, as all of the WEF “Agenda 20XX” papers show. They want you weak, docile, and under their thumb in every aspect of your life, from your finances and ability to travel to your physical health and ability to resist. Bugs and vegetarian diets are a way of effecting that, as Forbidden Knowledge noted in an article on the Diet of Slaves:42
Despite the geographically unique foods of the world, the diets of many slaves across different locations and eras have remained strikingly similar, Even today, the diet of modern slaves has remained true to their ancient counterparts.
In ancient Greece many slaves were fed a diet consisting of beans or legumes, vegetables, grains, and in very special events the offal of their masters. Offal if you’re wondering are the various organ meats deemed unworthy of being eating.
In ancient Rome the slaves were fed mostly bread, vegetables, porridge, some local fruits, and the occasional cheap wine to keep them sated and docile, with meat again being very rare for consumption.…
If any of this sounds familiar you should look around. Meat, even in wealthy nations has increased in price with soaring rates. Propagandized institutions continue to promote the idea that meat, dairy, and eggs are unhealthy for people as they casually push a diet of meat substitutes, soy, bugs, alcohol, and drugs to keep you satiated, but why?
The simple answer to all of this is that in manner regards, the average modern man is a slave, not a chattel slave, but a peon or serf tied to where he is born, dying with nothing to his name but debt. Diet should not be your only concern, but it is an incredibly important part of every man’s well being and greatly influences his way of thinking and what he is capable of.…
Humans were not made to eat bugs en masse. Humans have for their vast history not been vegetarian. Humans have been molded to the diets of hunter gatherers and in general, the closer to their diets you can get, the better.
To put this into perspective, humans and their ancestors have mainly subsided on diets rich in meat and bones for the last 2,500,000 years, owing our large brains almost entirely to these nutrient rich foods. The agricultural revolution occurred only 12,000 years ago, and we owe most of our shrinking jaw size, impacted teeth, cavities, and shortened stature to grain heavy diets.…
If you eat as a slave, you will begin to think and act like a slave. The elites of the world will continue to feast on expensive meats and dissuade you from feeding your family what makes them strong and healthy. Do not become what they wish for you to become.
Evidence that bugs are a slave diet for a subservient population with a broken spirit comes from India. Today, India is known as one of the few places where the population has a tradition of eating bugs.43 While that is now framed as being a noble tradition, it started out as anything but. Rather than being an organic, long-running tradition, it is a remnant of the Delhi Sultanate under the reign of Ala-ud-din Khilji in the early 14th century. Then, Khilji sometimes forced the conquered population to eat insects as a form of punishment and/or break its spirit. This was done as a means to subjugate and humiliate the defeated people, instilling fear and asserting control over them. The Mughal Empire did the same.
That is what the WEF and various Western governments now want to do to their tax-cattle called “citizens.” They want you weak, as shown by their abhorrence of physical fitness.44 They want you under their control, as shown by everything from Covid to anti-free speech legislation. But most of all, they want you subservient. And forcing you to eat bugs, as shown from the diets of slaves through history, is a way for them to ensure that’s the case.
So, to preserve our God-given freedoms as free Americans, we must fight the push for insect consumption. It’s not just a weird, climate change-related belief of the ruling elites, though it is that to some degree. Rather, it’s part of a plot to make you a slave, to force you into the mold of a subservient serf. Don’t eat the bugs if you’re a free man.
