Eating Insects |

My insects arrived. They were extremely overpriced, but it made for an interesting experience anyway. And I get to brag about eating a big ass insect. They were mostly tasteless. Some reminded me of smelt tail. I ordered them from http://thailandunique.com/. I wouldn't recommend it. You pay like $6 for a tiny little packet of insects. They should be about 50x cheaper. Still, it was fun. I now aim to find a better source for insects, and perhaps a more nourishing preparation method (the fried/dehydrated insects seem like empty shells so I'd be surprised if there's any nutrition to gain). -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I might as well be the first one to say "huh, I never guessed you looked like that..." but on this occasion I won't. I'm just not in the mood.

I thought you were buying a Honda 500, or was that a different thread. Do you only own one T-shirt or are they all red Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I own several T-shirts, and almost none of them are red (though it is arguably my favorite color). In fact, if you want to know the truth, I got that shirt from a beer case. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

I imagined you a lot more nerdy looking. You know, the typical FF fanboy look. But you actually have some decent looks bambam. You remind me of a friend. He gets pissed off often and when he rants he is funny. Do you get pissed off often? In capitalist America bank robs you. |

I ate a silkworm in China once at an actual silkworm factory I say we should eat more bugs. Since this seems to be the year of the cicadas I say that's more for the eatin' ___________________________________ |

That video from gnolam made my day, that was hilarious. Regarding insects, that's interesting, pity that over here they are so frowned upon, yet there's like a third of the world population whose diet is mostly insects... ----- |

One third? Where do so many people eat mainly insects? In capitalist America bank robs you. |

I heard something in a documentary a while ago... searches Quote: it is estimated that insect-eating is practised regularly by at least 2 billion people worldwide Well, that part does not specifically say "mostly insects", but in the documentary they made it look like it was. So take that with a grain of salt I guess. EDIT: More FAO Info. ----- |

Isn't the point that cattle feed is going to be too costly/hard to come by in the not-as-far-as-we'd-hoped future, so insects are the obvious alternative....or is that media spin nonsense (I try to avoid TV/newspapers)

I think the point is more that the world is over-populated with humans as it is and people keep on fucking without condoms. People that can't afford food fuck to pass the time. It's only going to get worse (unless maybe we start a world war to control the child population). The planet can only support so much farming. It just so happens that insects can be farmed in much less space with much fewer resources for much more efficient output. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

Probably wont matter, the people who can't get food today wont get more food just because we start eating insects. We probably wont share that with them either. |

For the record, I just finished eating the last of the opened packets of insects. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

bamccaig said: I think the point is more that the world is over-populated with humans as it is I hear this often, but I've never seen support for the claim. This seems like the kind of thing people who don't support frakking chat about at the gas pump. "He who controls the stuffing controls the Universe" |
