Quote:Tyson Foods Invests in Insect-protein Manufacturer

Remember when the World Economic Forum told us that the world could be “conditioned” to eat insects as a primary source of protein? Now comes news that Tyson Foods, an Arkansas-based U.S. food corporation, has invested heavily in Protix, a provider of insect ingredients based in The Netherlands.

Quote:The two companies plan to build a U.S.-based factory, which will make insects into food for pets, poultry, and fish. But don’t worry, Tyson officials assure us that they will not be putting insects into our food … at least not yet.

Quote:Our partnership with Protix represents the latest strategic investment by Tyson Foods in groundbreaking solutions that drive added value to Tyson Foods’ business,” Tyson said. “The insect lifecycle provides the opportunity for full circularity within our value chain, strengthening our commitment to building a more sustainable food system for the future.”

Winston Churchill says ("The River War") that locusts, "when fried, taste remarkably like shrimp".

Quote:[i][b]hitin is sensed primarily in the lungs or gut where it activates a variety of innate (eosinophils, macrophages) and adaptive immune cells[/b] (IL-4/IL-13 expressing T helper type-2 lymphocytes). [b]Chitin induces cytokine production, leukocyte recruitment, and alternative macrophage activation[/b]. Intranasal or intraperitoneal administration of chitin (varying in size, degree of acetylation and purity) to mice has been applied as a routine approach to investigate chitin’s priming effects on innate and adaptive immunity…[/i]
[b][i]Immune recognition of chitin also involves pattern recognition receptors[/i][/b][i], mainly via TLR-2 and Dectin-1, [b]to activate immune cells to induce cytokine production and creation of an immune network that results in inflammatory* and allergic responses[/b].[/i]

As it is, sans mass consumption of chitin, chronic inflammation is literally the largest driver of chronic illness in humans – more so than obesity, more so than metabolic dysfunction, and more so than any other factor.
If one were so inclined to silently kill people slowly over time, inducing long-term, often subclinical inflammation would be the best way to do it. Some term this type of murder “soft-kill,” because it occurs over time and attributing the ultimate cause is difficult.
Via Natural Medicine medical journal (emphasis added):

Quote:[i]One of the most important medical discoveries of the past two decades has been that [b]the immune system and inflammatory processes are involved in not just a few select disorders, but a wide variety of mental and physical health problems that dominate present-day morbidity and mortality worldwide[/b]. Indeed[b], chronic inflammatory diseases have been recognized as the most significant cause of death in the world today[/b], with more than 50% of all deaths being attributable to inflammation-related diseases such as [b]ischemic heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and autoimmune and neurodegenerative conditions[/b]. Evidence is emerging that the risk of developing chronic inflammation can be traced back to early development, and its effects are now known to persist throughout the life span to affect adulthood health and risk of mortality.[/i]

I fed myself out of the woods as a teenager, and I can do it again. That's one of the reasons I escaped the cities and ran off back to the country. I agree that city dwellers ain't gonna have much choice, but out here in the hinterlands, it'll be just a little different.

Squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, deer, bear, turkeys, snakes, turtles, lizards - there will always be some kind of non-bug grub out here.

I just saw two days worth of bushy-tailed protein cavorting in my back yard and gathering walnuts this very evening,

Quote:The plant intends to use animal waste from Tyson’s stock of chickens, cows, pigs, etc., as a food source for the new insect-protein plant.

Protix CEO Kees Aarts said, “We can immediately use their existing byproducts as feedstock for our insects.”

Pretty sure there is a bit in the old testement  telling you not to eat anything that crawls on the ground
