The eating bugs thing is stupid 4chan/putin propaganda to demonize the WEF who don't really need to be demonized because they're wealthy people.... But they are nominally progressives who Putin/Trump hate, it's also used to demonize activists like Greta Thunberg (who is often depicted saying the line in memes), because she's an environmental activist and ibugs are seen as more environmentally sustainable than beef.

In actual fact there was just discussed and was never going to be forced on you. But the conservative propaganda now limits even talk of such exotic ideas.

It's stupid speech limiting propaganda because everyone reading this has been eating bugs their whole life without knowing it. If you've ever had a glossy food anything, but most definitely candy, you've eaten bugs - because shellac is one of the main ways candy gets its shine, and is almost always made from crushed lac beatle shells.

So yes, you're eating bugs like someone from the islands above Australia or below China.
