I don't get why bug protein is always held up as a sign of capitalist dystopia.
It's creating equal nutritional value for less carbon pollution per unit consumed, not to mention how plenty of cultures already have it as a normal part of their cuisine. Only reason I haven't tried it personally is because I haven't seen a widely available outlet to try it through.
This is like saying, "get in the pod, eat the chicken bacon"
It's a right wing conspiracy theory. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-will-not-eat-the-bugs And more broadly https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/youll-own-nothing-and-be-happy/ Basically right wingers are very good at calling any modest improvement to society an attempt at making everyone live in an Amazon pod dystopia, but communist somehow. It works if you are dumb
See I really need to read more before I post, because you already basically what I wanted to say, but better.
