And what’s scary is that they don’t even need to appear on the ingredients as their commonly known name. Instead, they are permitted to be disguised as their scientific term, which many remain oblivious to anyway…
It is apparent that there is now a clear agenda to push bugs as food by corporations, governments, and NGO’s. We’ve seen propaganda stating things like “cockroach milk is healthier than cow’s milk” … and “crickets are healthier than beef.”
Do not be fooled. These claims are not rooted in any scientific evidence. In fact, quite the contrary is true…
Studies are now showing that bugs are harmful to our health, especially when farmed under poor conditions. They are a major source of chitin, an indigestible compound which is terrible for our gut health, as well as parasites, which can prove to be life-threatening.
Do yourself a favor—turn off the propaganda and eat plenty of meat.
Meat > Bugs
Breaking…US and European Union Have Approved Crickets for Use in Food
Both the United States and the European Union have officially opened the door for crickets to be used in processed foods. In the EU, cricket powder, or “Acheta domesticus,” has been given the green light as a “novel food.” The U.S. has also quietly allowed cricket flour into the food supply, with little public debate. What’s even more concerning is that these approvals are happening with very little consumer awareness. It is framed as innovation and sustainability, but the reality is that crickets are now legally allowed in snacks, baked goods, and protein products, often without shoppers realizing what they are buying.
“And Then We Told Them…”
It would be laughable if it weren’t so disturbing. Headlines have literally claimed that cockroach milk is healthier than cow’s milk. That line sounds like satire, but it was circulated by major outlets as a serious proposition. It’s part of a coordinated push to normalize eating and drinking insects as the “future of food.” The shocking part isn’t that this propaganda was floated, it’s that many people actually believed it. When powerful groups tell you bugs are better than beef, you know the agenda has nothing to do with health and everything to do with control.
The Bugs Are Here
This isn’t just a theory anymore. Products on shelves already contain cricket flour, from chips and cookies to “high-protein” pasta. Imagine grabbing a bag of cheddar cheese puffs and seeing cricket flour buried in the fine print. For unsuspecting families, this means children are being fed insect-based ingredients without clear understanding. The marketing plays on eco-friendly guilt while disguising the reality that insect proteins are neither traditional nor tested for long-term health effects in humans. What was once considered survival food in dire circumstances is now being packaged as a trendy super-snack.
Insects as a Reservoir of Parasites
One of the biggest red flags is the fact that insects are reservoirs of human and animal parasites. Research has confirmed that bugs can carry bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasitic worms capable of infecting humans. Unlike cattle, which are heavily regulated and monitored for disease, insects are far harder to control when mass-farmed. Consuming them introduces unnecessary risk into the food supply. Parasite exposure is not something to take lightly—it can lead to serious and sometimes life-threatening conditions. Yet we’re being told that this is the “protein of the future.” It is reckless to ignore such warnings.
Hidden on the Label
Here’s the trick. Crickets and other insects do not even need to appear on food labels under their common name. Instead, they are disguised under scientific terms like “Acheta domesticus powder.” To the average shopper, this looks like just another harmless additive, not an insect flour. That means most people could be eating bugs without even realizing it. Transparency in food labeling is supposed to be a basic right, yet here we see loopholes being carved out for corporations to sneak insects into processed foods while consumers remain in the dark.
Meat > Bugs
At the end of the day, there’s no contest. Meat is the original superfood. It is nutrient-dense, bioavailable, and proven throughout human history as the foundation of strength and survival. Beef, lamb, pork, and other animal foods contain all the essential amino acids, vitamins, and minerals in forms our bodies are designed to absorb. In contrast, insects bring risks, unknowns, and compounds like chitin that we cannot digest. The propaganda may be loud, but the truth is simple. Humans have always thrived on meat, and we still do.
Closing Thoughts
The approval of crickets in food is not progress, it is a deception. From cockroach milk propaganda to bags of bug-laced snacks, the agenda is clear. Instead of nourishing people, it pushes a cheap, experimental protein source while ignoring the health risks of parasites and gut-disrupting compounds. Meat has always been, and always will be, the superior choice. Don’t fall for the tricks on the label or the slogans in the headlines. When it comes down to it, the hierarchy of food is simple: Meat > Bugs.
