Eat Bugs not Cats

:D "Don't eat the Warm and Fuzzies...." Suzanne Ok now, there is an area that is really overlooked for food sources, except for some who have Military or Survivalist Training. Bugs, Eating Bugs, Raising BugsHigh in Protein, not animals, not fish, not poultry so this can can be eaten by Vegans. Bugs have been consumed by people and our pets for tens of thousands of years. In most countries in the world except for some of the Northern Hemisphere countries, bugs of all types are regularly eaten. With the quick growth of these critters, along with the small area needed to raise them to the point of consumption, this makes them a good alternative to our traditional menu's.Ug,, arrg, not me, yuk, gross etc etc, I can hear you all now, well let me tell you, when you are tired, hungry, covered in pig shit from the French Commando Course, you eat the bugs that they offer. When you are short of food during an Ex in Wainwright Alberta with tens of millions of Tent Caterpillars roaming around. YOU eat them, and they taste very nice with some Mayo or Honey Mustard in a sandwich. Here are some links on how to prepare them and some background on Bugs for consumption in other words Entomology for the Future.

Bees do more good out of our bellies, flying around doing their important part for the environment. They are also becoming endangered, so lets not eat them, but help to establish some rest stations, create some natural move in hives or allow Bee Keepers to put some boxes/hives on our properties.Eat Wasps, eat any wasps that come your way, feed them to your pets, feed them to you fish, who cares, they kill bees are everywhere and attack all the time, yellow jackets should be tasty too! :twisted:The following chart is reproduced from Iowa State University's web site. It shows how some insects as food compare to lean ground beef and broiled cod.

Have eaten Roof Chicken off of a shovel over a fire, while in Cyprus it was cooked by some Greek and Cypriot soldiers. Tasts mostly like chicken that way, but a bit more stringy!
seasoning helps
