    “the ruling class wants us to eat bugs”

    im not particularly aware of this actually being true, at least beyond maybe a random interview of someone like Bill Gates having a loose shower thought about food security.

    I feel like if I tried to do exhaustive research myself, I'd get 99% of results that say “one random vaguely wealthy person wants bugs added to existing menus” (which is categorically different) therefor it's 1984 big corporate left dystopian conspiracy forced to eat buggos.

      I thought it was something about a more sustainable farming model, like cultivating protein via a certain species of bugs might be more efficient than doing it via chickens and cows. Selling bugs (outside of certain cultures) would be pretty hard so it's assumed that the bug protein would be processed into nuggets or something.
