Tyson Moving Into Insect-Based US Food Production

 

In a groundbreaking move, Tyson Foods, a prominent American food conglomerate, has announced a partnership with Protix, a Dutch company that claims to be a global leader in insect ingredients. This venture aims to develop sustainable protein sources by producing bug-based proteins, primarily used in pet food, aquaculture, and livestock industries.

The move, touted by some as a forward-thinking initiative to create a more sustainable food system, raises significant concerns about the ongoing globalist agenda to alter our food supply chain. The “Eat the Bugs” narrative, which promotes the consumption of highly processed substitutes for natural, real food, seems to be gaining ground, and this partnership could potentially be a stepping stone toward that radical transformation.

Bill—how could you turn these delicacies down?  wink

Slow-cooked filet of NYC roach? Grasshopper soup, with a butterfly larva accent? Cricket burgers with wasp sauce?   Mealworm pie with frozen aphid a la mode? Termite chili? Caterpillar risotto? Water boatman bratwurst? Green lacewing enchiladas? Dragonfly cakes with booklice white sauce? Moth brisket au jus?

The email below was from a dear friend of mine who now lives in Maine, some 80 miles from Lewiston. He is a gun owner, hunter and ( I think) NRA member.

10/27/2023

Yesterday I finished reading American Gun: The True Story of the AR15. The authors estimate that there are as many as 25 million of them in civilian hands in the US. This problem, mass shootings, clearly continues to plague us because Congress is, with a few exceptions, a feckless bunch of self-seeking bastards. 

Why do civilians need AR-15-type long guns?  Large capacity magazines? I've asked this in the past.

DICK, YOUR QUESTION

Why do civilians need AR-15-type long guns?  Large capacity magazines? I've asked this in the past. 

NOW DAY'S DEPENDING WHERE YOU LIVE. HOME PROTECTION. NOT ONLY FROM CRIMINALS, BREAKING INTO YOUR HOME, TO WILD BEARS ETC. LOOKING FOR FOOD. CALIFORNIA HAS HAD SEVERAL FAMILIES ATTACKED BY BEARDS, BREAKING INTO THEIR HOMES. 

NOW IF I BREAK INTO A HOME AND LOOK AT THE BARREL OF AN AR-15, POINTING AT ME.   DAM WHY DID I PICK THE HOUSE?  

NOT EVERYONE NEEDS ONE OR SHOULD OWN ONE.

GO TO THE FBI WEBSITE, LOG ON, AND GET EMAIL UPDATES, AS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. 

I GET UPDATES EVERY DAY.

Of 25 million+ AR-15s, how many have been used in crime?  Infintesimal!
Here is part of a response I sent to my US Representative:

=======================================================

Banning guns from the mentally ill, the violent, and the youth is understandable, but a general "assault weapon" gun ban that infringes Rights of law-abiding citizens is obviously unconstitutional and why they have never been successful ... and, rightly so, never will!

Criminals that want to do harm will always find a way and will use any available tool. If a tool is removed they'll merely find another tool.  Timothy McVeigh used fertilizer to make a huge bomb.  Each year, guns are much more likely to be used for self-defense than for crime.  And if they were banned, what would be banned next?  Kitchen ‘assault’ knives?  Assault hammers?  Martial arts 'assault' fists?  More people are killed each year by these latter things than by all types of guns.  Banning a tool is not the answer!

As a matter of fact, medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the US after heart disease and cancer.  But doctors, surgeons, nurses, pharmacists and hospitals are not banned because they do so much more good than harm -- the same as it is with guns.  More people will be harmed or killed if their God-given Right to effective self-defense is taken away!

Hello Bob,

Well, I thought my comment would draw more than a couple of refutations.

I have three questions. Do you think your justifications would ease the pain and suffering of people in Maine? And elsewhere?  Do you take your arguments as sufficient to permit such terrible events to continue to befall our great country? Is your thesis mostly out of the NRA playbook and the association’s fear campaign?

In the spirit of civility, with no supplementary comment, I offer the following material.

 

1) Firearms are the Leading Cause of Death for Children in the United States But Rank No Higher Than Fifth in Other Industrialized Nations. KFF

Guns – including accidental deaths, suicides, and homicides – killed 4,357 children (ages 1-19 years old) in the United States in 2020, or roughly 5.6 per 100,000 children. (more in 2022)

KFF-The independent source for health policy research, polling, and news.

2) Americans’ Experiences With Gun-Related Violence, Injuries, And Deaths (KFF)

Shannon Schumacher, Ashley Kirzinger, Marley Presiado, Isabelle Valdes, and Mollyann Brodie

Figure 1

More Than Half Of U.S. Adults Have Experienced A Gun-Related Incident, Including One In Five Who Have Personally Been Threatened With A Gun Or Had A Family Member Who Has Been Killed By A Gun.

Bar chart showing (see KFF website) the percent of adults who have experienced gun-related incidents broken down by type of incident, percent of adults who have a family member who has experienced gun-related incidents broken down by type, and the percent of adults who have, or a family member has, experienced at least one of the specific above gun-related incidents.

(Note:chart did not copy well)

Have you personally ever…?

Been threatened with a gun

21%

Witnessed someone being injured from a gun

17%

Been injured by a gun

4%

Shot a gun in self-defense

4%

Do you have a family member who has ever…?

Been threatened with a gun

31%

Witnessed someone being injured from a gun

28%

Been injured by a gun

20%

Been killed by a gun, including death by suicide

19%

They have, or a family member has, ever experienced at least one of these gun-related incidents

54%

3) Injuries from firearms are the leading cause of death for children and teens. (CHE Aug 2023)

In 2020, firearms surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for children and teens. Deaths due to firearm-related injuries — including death by homicide, suicide, or accident — were around 20% of all child and teen deaths in 2020 and 2021, the largest proportion in at least four decades.

4) Children are dying at the highest rate in 13 years.  (USA Facts)

In 2020, firearms surpassed car accidents as the leading cause of death for children and teens. Deaths due to firearm-related injuries — including death by homicide, suicide, or accident — were around 20% of all child and teen deaths in 2020 and 2021, the largest proportion in at least four decades. 

The share of children and teens who die each year declined for nearly three decades and leveled off in the 2010s. Then, in 2020, the rate began to increase. By 2021, it reached its highest rate since 2008.

Although this coincided with the pandemic, the virus itself accounted for a small share of the increase. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the growing childhood death rates between 2019 and 2021 were primarily due to firearm injuries, drug overdoses, and car accidents.  (see chart at https://usafacts.org/data-projects/child-death)
