Bugmen will eat bugs

[Autoprax]

You should be more fussy, would save you the mental anguish of caloric restriction.

I went to China to teach. They had eggs with little fetus chicks in them.

Other teachers were chowing them down.

They were like what an amazing delicacy.

I gagged and couldn't eat for a week.

I did speed yesterday and ate 1300 calories.

I think that is the key.

Is it possible that some of these things are actually good for the environment in the long term?

I love that you guys are scared that the lefties are going to make you eat bugs.

Don't worry.

You're not going to have to eat bugs.

I agree. What they will do is make every attempt to make an already expensive product more expensive. To be clear, I’m good with animal welfare standards but once you start taxing Co2 and other similar madness then I hope you die of sodomy.

Buy some and move there. They just overthrew their government and I heard they love Westerners. Be vocal with your opinions.

fark dat.

I get the sense that Sri Lanka is humid.

I can't take N SD county humidity.

Picked some basil, tomatoes, green beans this weekend for the Sunday meal, as well as picked a bunch of 'keeper pears' (they need to ripen off the tree or they get mealy and store super well in the basement, aka 'corner of the garage').

Am sure I ate a few thrips/aphids and their eggs because I always end up eating some of the produce before I wash it....mmmm, fresh Blue Lake green beans and cherry tomatoes and whatever type of basil it was that I planted with any insects/insect eggs I didn't manage to brush off.

Next someone will tell me the FDA allows bugs in food......but I knew that since the 70s when I read the squeamish parts of The Book of Lists.

THE TRUE AND ONLY HEAVEN Progress and Its Critics. By Christopher Lasch. 591 pp. New York: W.W. Norton & Company. $25.
Sometimes a scholarly work is more important for the questions it raises than the answers it provides. In this provocative, and certain to be controversial, book, Christopher Lasch, a professor of history at the University of Rochester, pursues a fundamental question: "How does it happen that serious people continue to believe in progress, in the face of massive evidence that might have been expected to refute the idea of progress once and for all?" According to Mr. Lasch, despite the shrill and acrimonious conflicts between the left and the right, they share a common belief in the inevitability and desirability of economic and technical development.
However, in "The True and Only Heaven" he maintains that the idea of progress rests on several untenable propositions: that material expectations can be constantly revised, that luxuries can be ceaselessly redefined as necessities, that new groups can be continually incorporated into the culture of consumption and that a global market embracing impoverished populations around the world can be ultimately created. Neither the right nor the left has yet come to grips with an increasingly obvious problem: "the earth's finite resources will not support an indefinite expansion of industrial civilization." Given the present rate of population growth, he argues, an environmental disaster would be created if the Western standard of living were successfully exported to the poorer nations of the world. Moreover, the advanced countries have neither the will today nor the resources to assume such an immense program of development. They cannot even address their own problems of poverty. "In the United States, the richest country in the world," Mr. Lasch writes, "a growing proletariat faces a grim future, and even the middle class has seen its standard of living begin to decline."
