Let Them Eat Maggots

Our liberal betters have decided that we must not eat meat or even dairy products, because according to their ideology, that would make it be too warm outside. What would they have us eat instead? Maggots.

From the National Post:

[Lauren] Taranow is the president of Symton BSF, where the larvae of black soldier flies are harvested and sold as food for exotic pets such as lizards, birds, even hedgehogs. Her “maggot farm,” as she styles it, is part of a burgeoning industry, one with the potential to revolutionize the way we feed the world. That’s because of the black soldier fly larva’s remarkable ability to transform nearly any kind of organic waste — cafeteria refuse, manure, even toxic algae — into high-quality protein, all while leaving a smaller carbon footprint than it found.

Carbon footprints, though highly beneficial to crops, are regarded as unclean by progressives. Unlike maggots.

The United Nations, which already warns that animal-rich diets cannot stretch that far long term, is encouraging governments and businesses to turn to insects to fulfill the planet’s protein needs.

Professor Jeff Tomberlin of Texas A&M University proclaims that eating maggots will “create jobs and protect the environment.”

An idea this good might have to be imposed by force, like socialism. “Make Them Eat Maggots” would make a great slogan for the 2024 Democrat campaign, almost as appealing as the “Let’s Smash the Healthy Economy” theme they are running on for 2020.
