The news that we are all destined to give up meat-eating for bug-crunching does not seem to be going down terribly well with the Telegraph commentariat.  Following a comment-free article dated 1st February titled The best insect snacks for environmentally conscious snacking and written by an avant garde environmental snacker-person called Jack Rear - yes, where do they find them? - the Globalist Tendency on the DT editorial team invited some Yoruban female with a few hours of journalism training to pose the burning or, certainly, roasting question on all our lips: When will insects be on our supermarket shelves?

Again there is a definite shortage of bug-happy commenters excited about the disappearance from their diet of a tender fillet steak or juicy lamb chop.  Instead, among the handful of Telegraph readers who can be bothered to comment at all there is this guy:

I teach biology in a sixth form college and regard myself as being logical .............. until it comes to eating insects.
Food ‘security’ can foxtrot oscar. The day will not dawn when I find myself crunching a locust butty complete with locust intestine contents.
The authors of this nonsense presuppose and accept bug munching will be a consequence of an ever rising population. Perhaps it will be the spur to removing all procreation subsidies and unskilled immigration?
Threaten the public with Kentucky Fried Cricket or a Big McMealworm burger and I doubt you would find them receptive.

... and this one:

I’m saving the planet by eating my birdie num-nums, living in my pod, and consoooming my social media and my racial cuck porn. I own nothing and I am HaPpY. Clown world.

... and all the rest are decidely bug-negative.  What could possibly be putting them off a “food” they would normally prefer to squelch underfoot?  Don’t they want to cut methane emissions?  Don’t they understand that Net Zero is inevitable?

The idea that the planet will be “saved” if only we all do as we are told and eat wriggly, crawly, buzzy creatures with six legs farmed by the customary mega-corporations has been around for a couple of decades.  So it didn’t originate with the Davos set.  But it was certainly making headway in the private jet community by 2013 at least, when the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN stuck its sticky finger in the maggot pie.  Only two more years passed before we serfs could really celebrate protein diversity, as wikipedia informs us:

The World Edible Insect Day, being held on 23 October, was introduced by Belgian entrepreneur Chris Derudder in 2015 to raise awareness globally for the consumption of edible insects, with a focus on Europe, North America, and Australia.

This seems to be Climate Chris.  You know your hobby-horse has arrived when it gets a “World Day”.

The moral zombies who believe they should dictate the future of the world (because, well, they want to and they have all the wealth and own all the politicians) then moved on to the problem of how they are going to shut down First World livestock farming, carpet-bag the land, and force us all onto the required diet of Pygmy delicacies.  Last December they alighted upon pet food as a handy accustomising strategy.  Well, it’s not as if Fido will notice.  Not that they would give a damn if Fido did.  They don’t give a damn about any living thing but themselves.  And their agenda.  When we Talmudic cattle are being force-fed the bug-filth and are trying to squeeze the resultant gunk out of our intestines, they won’t be dining on it themselves, anymore than their travel to vital international conferences in faraway luxury resorts will be inconvenienced by the kerosene ban on the rest of us.

They are “leaders”, you see.  Fido’s doggy dignity is collateral damage.  You are surplus population.
