Children Should Eat More Bugs, Less Chocolate, Says Absolutely Insane Country

Switzerland has apparently told its population that children should be eating more bugs and less chocolate, according to an article published Tuesday.

The Swiss government is reportedly telling children that devouring mealworms, locusts and crickets is a way better eating cheese and chocolate, The Wall Street Journal reported.

On its surface, this might not sound bad: kids eat bugs all the time because most kids are idiots. And if you dust them with paprika and other spices, they probably aren’t that gross to eat. But where the heck does a country get off in recommending children eat bugs instead of truly healthy foods like fruits and vegetables? Maybe because fruits and vegetables aren’t as easily grown in Switzerland, and we’re at the dawn of a major global food catastrophe.

While most people will balk at the idea of feeding their kids bugs, there’s a dark, underlying narrative here that is being hidden from the general public. Perhaps Switzerland and other countries are pushing children to eat bugs because our global food supply chain is in free-fall, and will likely collapse in the coming years, maybe even months.

Things started getting hairy when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Sitting in a bar in Los Angeles as the news broke that we were on lockdown, I turned to a friend and said, “if this lockdown thing goes global, it’ll hit food supplies in a way we may never recover from.”

Less than two years later in May 2022, Germany and the United Nations issued a major alert over a “global food catastrophe.” Of course, no one listened. By August 2022, the world’s richest people decided that the best way to curb food shortages was for everyone to start using “sniff tests” on food labeled as out-of-date.

Here in the U.S., the soaring price of food is being blamed on inflation. While inflation is certainly part of the problem, the real issue is that we just don’t have a sustainable food supply. All of us depend on people far away to grow, raise, transport, and even cook the food we eat every day.

Less than 100 years ago, our ancestors raised most of what they ate in their own backyards. But these gardening skills for survival have been beaten out of modern society, and every nation is finding its own way to lie to us about the problems this knowledge loss has caused.

In Switzerland, politicians are training children to eat bugs because bugs could be one of the only major food sources available in the coming years. Here in the U.S., the food crisis is being ignored in favor of runaway inflation. (RELATED: ‘I Brought Some Cyanide’: Another Billionaire Investor Predicts Devastating Economic Collapse)

Instead of bugs and distractions, there are two simple solutions to the food crisis: efficient tracking models for food sustainability, and everyone growing what they can at home. Even the smallest of apartments have enough room for a few fruiting plants, so go out today and get your supplies … because I genuinely don’t believe that stocks will last much longer.
