I wonder what it smells like in there. 👃
Let Klaus Schwab eat bugs with his cake.
Aw yeah, there's the crazy comment I was looking for. Good stuff.
@@wfjhDUI I don't see how it was crazy. You know what sounds crazy? EATING FUCKING BUGS
@@aldoushuxleysghost Why does it make you mad when other people eat bugs?
@@wfjhDUI it's frustrating how people can't see what's taking shape in the world. It's not just eating bugs
@@aldoushuxleysghost What is taking shape in the world?
I will *not* eat the bugs.
I will *not* sleep in a pod.
I will *not* rent everything.
what if i spray nutella atop the bugs?
Another WEF wacko. Yawn.
Yes...
You Vill eat ze bugs .lol
Blade Runner 2049 is slowly but surely becoming realistic.
Disgusting. No thanks.
Jeez that farmed fish part made me remember how depressing this stuff gets😂
Good food comes from farms. Wild hunting and gathering is bad.
@@LeroyBrown the sale of hunting tags pays for conservation work. Your state biologists studying climate change effects on local wildlife, working to conserve endangered species, restore native plant communities, etc. are paid and equipped largely through hunting licenses and tags. If hunting stopped a lot of conservation work would stop happening. Also deer are largely overpopulated in many areas of the US, for a number of reasons, to the point they prevent forest restoration by eating plants they normally wouldn't. So hunting can actually have benefits for wildlife. In case you are wondering I am a biologist, not a hunter.
@@LeroyBrown Watch the documentary on norwegian salmon farms and come back afterwards.
@@stevennagy6341 deer are overpopulated because we killed all the wolves and other predators to protect all the cows and pigs we're farming. Conservation efforts funded by hunting are overstated, even if every US adult bought a hunting permit, it wouldn't come close to the amount of money that is actually spent on conservation - at best it likely pays for the cost of the paperwork to issue the license (a quick google suggests a hunting license costs about $100 depending on the state aka almost no money at all). Plus it's an oxymoron, how do you shoot the thing you want to protect? If you want to protect nature you should be vegan, it's by far the most effect way to reduce the effects of agriculture and you also don't have to eat bugs.
Check out Seaspiracy!
I was enjoying some nice meal worms and beetles but got grossed out when a fly landed on my food.
Well, the insects you eat were produced in controlled environment. The fly could have been on 💩 just moments ago :)
@HahThatsWhatSheSaid Please don't pull the specie card here
Mmmm free protein
🤣
Well now flies and roaches are pretty nasty. I'm understanding meal worms are basically clean creatures - and those were prepared for you so they should be free of contaminants.
Chickens are SUPPOSED to be eating insects anyways 😹
"You vill eat ze bugs"
you've already been eating bugs bud. Still waiting for the juices to take over. Been about 80 years mate.
@@Wavy- no!
Humans enjoyed salted fish eggs (caviar) and they are more expensive than other foods. Humans will eat almost anything if you convince them it's delicious.
Nah dude
@@mang_0nim81 Yeah, ure not convincing me about that, or insects
Well for cetrain reasons they say insects contain alot of protein but i think thats gonna less likely appeal to people
If it's edible then why not especially if you're lost in the wilderness.
They even eat poison if you can convince then #pufferfish
health inspection must be hard
you can keep your bugs ill eat my steaks
What about bug steak?
I’ve always said, deep fry some crickets or something and put that cool ranch Doritos dust on em and you will take over the snack world
Why don’t you do it then?
"You've always said" 😂😂😂😂 don't you think there is a reason behind humans never eating bugs in there history
@@abhouston1 we humans did eat bugs in our history, so...
Only John, humans have eaten insects throughout history. Just because western europeans stopped for awhile, doesn’t mean everyone has.
I had deep fried mealworms many years ago, and I’d eat them again in a heartbeat. They were like big, slightly meaty, rice crispies.
The downside to eating whole hoppers/crickets/ants is the amount of fibrous bits that get stuck in your teeth.
@@abhouston1 we still eat them ... look at the video
I'll never eat the bugs.
Vice just promotes everything that's gross
So happy to see Charlet Duboc doing stories again after the pandemic!
EAT THE BUGS, LIVE IN THE POD
You've already been eating bugs mate. They're called crustaceans (ancient ancestors of modern insects). Btw there's a legal amount of bug parts allowed in your food. Fun fact.
I hope to be long dead before this becomes mainstream
2022?
Let me get some grasshoppers with 10mg of THC each and I'm down to eat handfuls of bugs.
Naaa not only would you become paranoid your becoming a bug, but ya may also become uncontrollably jumpie....🤤
😂😂😂 the paranoia of becoming a bugman would destroy your mind
Make the grasshoppers high. Then eat them
Right?
Imagine the panicky, paranoid fear-infested high one would get from that 😂
*Snowpiercer The Movie predicted all that*
A bug factory! Am I the only one saying WTF!
Eat the bugs? Nah dawg, let cattle, poultry and fish eat the bugs and I'll eat the meat and fish.
That’s the problem.

@@charliefiddle6136
It's not about the environment or climate change, it's about how they are using CLIMATE CHANGE as a tool to manipulate people. It's about eating what they tell you you're allowed whilst they feast on gourmet meals. It's about double standards. I bet you drive an electric car like a good little guilt-ridden human being - whilst they own numerous private jets and limousines, and fly around the world telling us that we are bad for driving a little car to get to work, and having one too many baths!!
WAKE UP!!!
People are so dumb. They will eat anything.
SNOW PIERCER!! ❄🏔🌨☃️
Next time I'm buying anything edible, I better have a look at the ingedients.
Hope you don't live in the US, cause the FDA doesn't care and neither does DC due to lobbying/incompetence
In 2023 these guys are gonna make bank.
Reject meat, fruit & vegetables.
C O N S U M E B U G
I really like how they demonstrated that covid can't get them while eating.
Only talk with food in your mouth 😂 Then there is no problem 🤣
You don't get infected with just one COVID virus particle. You need a sufficient viral load to get infected. Not saying your can't get infected this way, but it's stupid to say it wouldn't work.
Have you ever heard about farming Nutria - giant water rats - it is a rather large industry in Russia - they taste amazing, eat any kind of vegetable matter and are also valued for their fur. Natural, sustainable and actually delicious. Look into that.
They actually made a video about doing that in Louisiana.
They’re invasive here in America just they call them muskrats nice looking red meat
@@smittenkitten8811 i was just about to say sounds like Lousiana
Interesting, always thought this animal tasted awlful and had no value
🤢🤮
I raise the same species as feeders for other arthropod pets (reduviidae) but I'm just as fascinated with them and the animals that eat them. I wouldn't be able to afford my hobby without them, I might spend 10 a month keeping the mealworms going, very greatful. I make sure to give them a decadent life with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables alongside the meal worm flakes that are recommended.. And any of the ones that make it to adulthood get to fully live out the rest of their lives, eating and banging other beetles in luxury to provide the next generation. Lot of admiration for these little creatures.
Just a PSA: You can raise your own worms and/or black solder flies for almost free at home using your food and yard waste and some plastic bins.
This is a really good idea black soldier fly larvae is really good protein for pet lizards I might have to hop on that idea
@@salemlamminen3611 so are you going to eat the same food as your pet lizard does
@@2468whodoweappreciate you could, but I’ll probably just feed mine to some fish or chickens. They basically harvest themselves in a well designed bin.
@@2468whodoweappreciate depends on the lizard for example bearded dragons eat collard greens, beet greens, mustard greens, broccoli, turnip greens, savory, cilantro, kohlrabi, bell peppers, green beans, various squash, sprouts, cooked sweet potato, parsnips, okra, cucumber, asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, peas, and corn. Fruit can include apples, pears, bananas (with skin), mango, grapes, star fruit, raisins, peaches, tomato, guava, kiwis, and melons. Now something tells me you’ve eaten something on this list at one point or another, so I guess you’ve eaten the same food as someone’s pet lizard too
If you take those bsfl and raise fish with them, you get a better source of food in the process.
I wonder if these guys sell the ones you see in lollipops at gas stations.
Antoine Hubert RIP 🙏🏼

Will insect protein be cheap enough to supplement my future college diet of instant noodles, fast food of some sort, and chips?

@@PHlophe welcome to Nairobi the only City with a national park in the world
@@kevohwapipelinetransami4351 There are at least 15 cities in the US alone that have national parks (San Francisco, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. being just some of them). Central Park in NYC is probably the most famous.
makes me think of Snowpiercer the movie
I was impressed by how automated the technology is
Not gonna lie, that looks disgusting..
Maybe the lobbyist at the end wouldn’t be such a skinny turd if he ate a steak every once in a while
Growing green beans under a grow lamp was quite easy...and indoors. My backyard gets a lot of sun, I will try growing broccoli in a pot. Chickens are cheap and easy to keep, why again are we trying to eat bugs?
You have at least a secure yard, pots, reliable and cheap electricity, and a grow lamp. Not everyone has those things.
We're trying to eat bugs because, compared to current agribusiness practices, insect agriculture can produce vastly more nutrient and protein product (per unit of input) than any animal agriculture.
Humans survived thousands of years without electricity. Did you know dandelions are edible? It’s a weed. And it’s good for you. Unlike ‘bugs’. Shame to live in a sunless hole, without a pot, to then eat bugs to survive. The Amish live without electricity, or fancy tractors to till the earth. You are right, I have a yard with sunlight. I was smart enough to not poison my dirt with herbicides so I can grow almost anything. Walking thru my grass, I collect dandelion leaves for a fresh salad. In my hayfields, the last week in June, there are wild strawberries...enough to gather for a pie. It’s work, tho. Next I gather wild raspberries and in the end of July, I gather wild blackberries. I freeze them to then use when making pancakes. I also have asparagus, leeks, rhubarb, and apple trees that appear with no work involved. My husband will hunt a deer and a wild turkey every year which I break down the meat to equal many meals. He likes to make jerky, which can be eaten year round. Whoa to those who live in crowded cities, which residents rely on the supply chain for food. Not everyone is a farmer. Too busy working all day to pay for a fancy car and new cellphone and not willing to tend a garden for food. Perhaps these individuals would then eat your bugs. Sorry, but I will not.
@@blondek767 you seem to be naive but I think it's cause you're rural (not an insult). People unfortunate enough to be in cities can't simply afford to move away. There are tons of factors and while I do find eating bugs to be unappealing I prefer the facts/science and it's clear that bugs are more efficient and better for the environment than the current livestock factory farming. That's not a dig on your hunting/gathering as that's far better than factory.
There's something terribly wrong with our current mass production of everything and while I think it needs improvement bugs used as feed for livestock or as livestock themselves is the future.
@@blondek767 Bugs are mainly for an alternative to animal-based proteins. The amount of meat people eat worldwide has risen significantly, because it’s gotten so much cheaper because of the industrialisation and upscaling of agriculture. That’s awful for the enviromment, especially because how much space is required to produce the feed for all those animals. Bugs are a good alternative, a very efficient source of proteins. People in many countries eat bugs, and I have cooked with bugs in the past too. It’s something of an acquired taste, but you can hide the taste entirely behind spices.
There is a shocking amount of open space between cities, the idea we are so over crowded people cannot eat is a LIE. Maybe to those who choose to live in a city it seems over crowded but that’s by design. The entire world population can fit in the State of Texas with room to spare. We are not over crowded, we have been pushed into cities and are slaves to wi-fi and our cellphones. Has anyone here ever picked a fresh apple from a tree? I can’t believe you are ok with eating BUGS. Give me that rib-eye with a side of guac. and a nice slice of apple pie. With the crust made with lard like my grandma used to make. FYI, meal worms are maggots.
I will never eat the bug
1:28 Ynsect has received more than 370 million dollars to expand production.
I mean y'all eat lobster and call it a delicacy. Sea insects.
Peta gonna raid the factory and save those insects lmao
Ask him how these proteins act in our body. ( I am sure he does not know) but you will get chocked when you know it
I heard "ants give you good eyesight if you eat them" when i was a kid
Kind of glad i randomly ate a worm once at work just to weird people out.
Why is Vice releasing videos about edible insect factories this week when 145 people have died in Gaza and in the West Bank? When 39 of those deaths were children? There hasn't been a single video covering what it means now that human rights organizations have called Israel an apartheid state, but yet there's been reports about non-issue fluff like this during forcible removals of people's homes in Sheikh Jarrah and the building of Al Jazeera/AP being destroyed by the IDF. What is going on, Vice?
You know it's possible for more than 1 thing to go on in the world right.
Afterwards ... It is entirely possible to see in the future chicken nuggets, ground chicken, whole chicken, and places like KFC to either fold or get astronomically expensive while companies who invested and specialize in insects, will be doing well and reasonably priced in the store.
Maybe even calling the new insect protein, "Kickin'." Which sounds a little like "chicken" so you could say you had "Kickin' nuggets" for lunch. Someone would nod and understand you had the future food, insects, for lunch, likely large mealworms, which at that time would be considerably easier to acquire and process rather than real chickens.
We are witnissing the end of the Western hegemony. It's over, within 10 years the entire West will collapse. I expect civil war.
chickens eat those bugs what are you on about
No.
Chinese restaurants has been piloting this project for centuries.. this is not new or revolutionary lol
Next gen corona in the making
insects are very far removed from mammals, very very unlikely to have a virus that infects both

Those insects weren't wearing masks btw. Smh 😦
Nah, bruh, I’m good.
EAT THE BUGS NOW!
You've already been eating bugs mate. It's called crustaceans aka shrimp, lobster and crab. Btw there's a legal amount of bug parts that are allowed in your food. Fun fact.
@Zigest you don't eat food? Damn
@Zigest your food has bugs lol
You think they get worried about food getting in their bugs?
The fda isn't too worried. Fun fact there's a legal about of bug parts that can be in your food. Which means there's almost a 100% chance food you've eaten contained part bug. Same is true for most of the world.
Can't wait for a Bug Burger.

What was the protein content of those fritters? The amount of insects added probably didn't amount to much protein. More than likely more protein was gained from the egg and oil
Oil doesn't have protein oil is literally just fat

I'd be open to using an insect-based protein powder. Not so keen on eating cooked whole insects though.

Insects for animal feed : OK
Insects for direct human consumption :NO
People have been eatings insects for decades already. They might be one of the few things to lessen dependence on cows, pigs, etc.
You think people know what's in a Dorito? This squeamishness is a major reason we've not already transitioned to far more sustainable practices that include insect agriculture.
