[Pastor Ezekiel]

As you all know, I have long preached from the pulpit that the United Nations is an evil organization controlled by joos and hellbent on world domination. But now they have taken a step so revolting, so heinous that I hesitate to report it here. If THIS story had been reported by any news organization than Fox, I would have written the whole thing off as alot of hooey.

U.N. Pushes Bug-Eating for Everyone

CHIANG MAI, Thailand — Crickets, caterpillars and grubs are high in protein and minerals and could be an important food source during droughts and other emergencies, according to scientists.

"I definitely think they can assist," said German biologist V.B. Meyer-Rochow, who regularly eats insects and wore a T-shirt with a Harlequin longhorn beetle to a U.N.-sponsored conference this month on promoting bugs as a food source.

Three dozen scientists from 15 countries gathered in this northern Thailand city, home to several dozen restaurants serving insects and other bugs. Some of their proposals were more down to earth than others.

A Japanese scientist proposed bug farms on spacecraft to feed astronauts, noting that it would be more practical than raising cows or pigs. Australian, Dutch and American researchers said more restaurants are serving the critters in their countries.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimates 1,400 species of insects and worms are eaten in almost 90 countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Researchers at the conference detailed how crickets and silk worms are eaten in Thailand, grubs and grasshoppers in Africa and ants in South America.

"In certain places with certain cultures with a certain level of acceptance, then insects can very well be seen as part of the solution" to hunger, said Patrick Durst, a Bangkok-based senior forestry officer at the FAO.

The challenge, experts said, is organizing unregulated, small bug food operations in many countries so they can supplement the food that aid agencies provide. The infrastructure to raise, transport and market bugs is almost nonexistent in most countries.

Prof. Arnold van Huis, a tropical entomologist known as "Mr. Edible Insect" in his native Netherlands, blamed a Western bias against eating insects for the failure of aid agencies to incorporate bugs into their mix.

"They are completely biased," van Huis said. "They really have to change. I would urge other donor organizations to take a different attitude toward this ... It's excellent food. It can be sustainable with precautions."

There are questions about the safety of eating bugs and potential dangers from over-harvesting them, said Durst, who became interested in the practice known scientifically as entomophagy during his years working in Bangkok, where crickets and bamboo worms are sold as food by street vendors.

Tina van den Briel, senior nutritionist at the World Food Program, the U.N. agency that provides food in emergencies, expressed doubt that insects can benefit large, vulnerable populations. Most bugs are seasonal and have a short shelf life, she said.

"They can be a very good complement to the diet," said van den Briel, not a conference participant. "But they do not lend themselves to programs like ours where you transport food over long distances and where you have to store food for a few months."

She suggested a more practical benefit might be adding insects to animal feed or crushing them into a meal powder that could be used to make cookies or cakes.

Meyer-Rochow said aid agencies might even find a way to harvest crop-destroying swarms of locusts and crickets.

"These mass outbreaks could be a valuable food source," he said. "If the technology is available, they could be ground up like a paste and added to the food humans eat."

That is just wrong. I'm no chinaman. I need a pot roast.

Pa Eze, why do you look down on the food God Almighty deemed good for His Chosen People?
"Even these of them ye may eat; the locust after his kind, and the bald locust after his kind, and the beetle after his kind, and the grasshopper after his kind."

[Dr. Otto Bond Sr.]

That organization must be stopped or soon we'll all be munching on grasshoppers! I must say, this is only the latest in a series of communist schemes to overthrow Godly democracy and create a socialist police state! God knows what they shall come up with next!

[Nobar King]

Haven't these guys seen Fear Factor? No one want to eat bugs.

This might be the next soylent green. "Did you get your nutrition paste today? Mine came in saffron and curry flavor."

It's good to see that you're spending time studying God's Word, but you've taken that part out of context. It was an exception to the general rule against eating "flying creeping things, which have four feet" (Lev. 11:23).

You are such a sinner and a liar. The United Way supports gay's. The US leaves none homeless but their own people, okay. Where do you think our taxes are going too, Joseph Smith?
United Nations is just leading up to a one World Gov't. They are evil and you are falling for it.

[Ezekiel Bathfire]

Eat bugs?

Why not simply take the whole family to a restaurant, or a pavement cafe, or have their servants do the shopping at a general food store or a hypermarket?

These people have no imagination. They squeal for our help at the slightest provocation. Surely, it is time for tough love and to tell them to stand on their own 2 feet.

As Marie-Antoinette (1755-93), the Queen consort of Louis XVI, said when she was told that the French populace had no bread to eat, "Let them eat cake."

On the other hand there is always the fall-back of roast lamb -

Ge:22:8: And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

United Nations??

We should invade 'em. There's only room for ONE Godly United Nation in this World!!

[Marshall]

The UN is a pointless entity based on Communism.
