I am not disagreeing with you nor am I claiming to have a diagram for actionable change. I just feel the possibility is there and now seems like a time where it might be viable.

The masses are more susceptible to influence from exterior sources than ever. Social media has given rise to megaphones on even the stupidest mouths.

Utilize this for positive change as opposed to criticizing its existence.

If a pussy scented candle can gain traction through "goop", better choices for food can become a hot trend too.

Crickets taste better than Kale.

If you eat bread or anything with flour you are eating roaches/flour beetles/grain beetles/meal moths/and more. They are ground up (milled) bleached, and shipped.

Most mills fumigate their facility twice a year. Some of them are over 100 years old and still have wooden parts.

You're already eating them. You're just ignorant to it.

Every insect type has a maximum number of heads/parts/eggs allowed per kg of packaged product. It is not just concentration of insect contamination.

For example you can have up to 33 drosophila eggs, 88 heads, and a percentage of parts I currently don't recall per kg of raisins. Since the eggs are fumigated they are food safe as they will not hatch. That is one species. There are similar numbers per pest.

That being said, a single rodent striated hair will fail an entire pallet. That pallet gets opened and redistributed to the line and repackaged, just like the product shoveled off the floor.

Your food is clean and safe. Obviously. You've been eating it a long time. Being grossed out about eating bugs is just silky since you've been doing it your whole life.

Technically, you have a bunch living in your eyebrows and pores.

Buy a usb microscope and look!

If you really want a treat use it to look at your tap water!

Upvoted because you make valid points.

However, fish don't have to fed other fish. Once again, there might be a solution in the mass farming of insects and worms.

I am not a biologist, but I have been fishing. The species I was after seemed to really enjoy creepy crawlers.

I'm almost positive we could make fish flake out of hard shelled insects.

Vertical farming, cricket flour, worm castings and cricket frass as fertilizer, hydroponic so no soil and only water needed and it's recycled, eliminate flood style watering and replace with drip irrigation for tree fruits and nuts. Solar flex windows on farm buildings to power grow lighting and pumps.

Allow nature to reclaim vast expanses of farmland over time and reestablish the Biodiversity hundreds of years of farming and pesticides has destroyed.

Dramatically reduce the beef, pork, poultry industry in order to reduce water consumption and slow the destruction of rainforests and other biomes in order to create pastureland. (I am not a vegetarian)

Promote alternative meats with creative marketing to reduce social stigmas.

STOP FUCKING PROMOTING "WILD CAUGHT FISH" as a goddamn marketing tool and only sell farm raised. Change the wording to "LOCALLY HARVESTED" and let the oceans rebuild.

Pigeons, rodents, insects. "Wild trapped game bird," pigeon is delicious. It's all dark meat and pest companies killing millions and dumping them in the trash. As an example I worked for a pest management company in Seattle. On one single building downtown I had 4 live catch traps, emptied every other day. I removed 15-30 per trap every service. All year long. I alone had over 70 traps placed with similar numbers. This does not include the other 2 people who worked bird jobs.

Seagulls are also a viable source of meat that tastes delicious and are easy to trap. Seagulls will enter a cage with a yellow ribbon in it and a mirror.

Mice. Hell yes, mice. Ground Mickey meat. Mice don't require a water source for up to 4 weeks as they extract water from their food. They reach maturity between 4-7 weeks and reproduce every 19 days up to 20 pups. A lactating female ray can raise up to 35 mice at a time. So upon weaning, mice can reach maturity with minimal water and feed prior to being harvested.

Roaches. They are everywhere. I'd change the name from cockroach to baconbug though. Then use them for protein, flour, literally anything.

This got too long. Lots of options. Post history has info on crickets vs wheat.

And your celiac would be unaffected as crickets are gluten free.

GMO is not bad. Modified crops have provided food for millions of people by adapting plants to survive colder temperatures and higher elevations. Its a good thing.

When you choose a mate you are choosing attributes you like and would like to see in your offspring. A genetically modified / combination of the two of you.

Do you think there have always been hundreds of varieties of every fruit? Or do you think adaptation/evolution/hybridization over time gives us so many goddamn tomatoes?
