No really, they want you to eat bugs
112: How real is bug based food adoption?
Quick Monday rant today. as I am sure we will need to cover some more serious topics this week.
I’ve been up since 4am ET and already I am seeing and hearing the following:
China’s Golden Dragon tech index is down over 20%
The Department of Justice is speaking at 1:30 pm ET on an “
The UK has a new PM
There are rumors of a large escalation stirring in Ukraine
Xi Jingping has solidified his hold on power, removed term limits, and bolstered military assets, — a move on Taiwan is inevitable
The Biden administration has warned of "threats to nation’s election infrastructure" ahead of midterms” from Russia and China
Should be a wild week in markets and global developments and we’ll likely put out another post alongside our usual this week and markets update Friday.
As a reminder we will be releasing out interview with former Army Ranger, Bodybuilder, and Digital Business savage BowTiedOx on Wednesday or Thursday morning for paid subs.
You will eat ze bugs
Around the start of the crypto bull market anonymous account and brand BowTiedBull made a startling prediction.
That in the coming years there would be groups of people forced to eat bugs and insects. We saw the writing on the wall with other brands and influencers and echoed the warning — there would be strong pushes for the consumption of insects.
And guess what?
They were right, we were right, and everyone else who had the foresight to understand what is going on in the world was right.
The message itself got caught up in the wildly euphoric crypto bull run in which “stay fun having poor” “eat the bugs” and other us vs. them phrases shocked many everyday Americans, investors, and people.
The higher level theme being conveyed by BTB and similar influencers/brands, was and is, that the world is changing rapidly because of the global elite. That the ultra rich and powerful are now setting the mandates — for vaccines, taxes, carbon credits, climate health, social score systems (China), money laundering schemes, and more — making the everyday citizen and person suffer in turn.
We saw this play out during the pandemic with senseless and baseless lockdowns, mandates, and small business policies.
Then we were asked to give our undying loyalty to Ukraine as we give them billions upon billions of dollars to stave off the Russian hordes.
People instantly forgot about the injustices of the pandemic overnight.
Remember — as we have discussed before — the ultimate goal of any government or group of people in power is to make you more reliable on them.
Inflation has destroyed savings and earning power.
Politicians have made massive amounts of money and committed huge power grabs during the pandemic.
Crime is soaring.
War is raging.
And most don’t realize that the gap between haves and have nots is increasing rapidly (hint - it won’t stop).
We immediately saw a visceral and angry amount of cope from people who didn’t understand the broader context of what the push to eat insects was and to this day, there are still angry little keyboard warriors who think that this prediction hasn’t and won’t come to fruition.
Andy I don’t buy this….
Ok…. well……
Where shall we begin?
Well why don’t we start with the World Economic Forum.
They published a lengthy post titled “5 Reasons Why Eating Insects Could Save the Climate”.
It even includes a disclaimer because they didn’t expect people to have such an adverse reaction to such an insane article but the disclaimer is listed at the top and then they proceed to….
You guessed it…
Shill the concept of eating bugs to save the planet.
We will walk through and assess the veracity of the claim that you will indeed have to eat the bugs and if there is an effort by group(s) to push this initiative on world populations including us in the United States.
We will also cover the health impacts, implications, and what it means for the world.
Are you going to be eating bugs or insects?
What if steak is $29.99 a pound?
What if whey powder is 5X the cost it is now in a year?
