Did you know that it is a conspiracy theory that the elite is pushing for the proles to eat bugs instead of meat?

Not just a conspiracy theory, but one deeply rooted in White Supremacy.

So says NPR.

Ah, would that it was so. Unfortunately, it is a conspiracy theory only in the sense that believing that the Biden Administration wants you to stop using gas stoves, use ineffective and expensive air conditioners, and ruin the venerable water heater.

It is a conspiracy, but hardly a theory.

What’s amusing is that NPR has been a proponent of the “Eat the bugs, dammit!” movement itself. A quick search of their archives finds several stories about the benefits of eating bugs, and there are countless examples of environmental extremists who are deeply concerned by cow farts wanting us to substitute animal protein with insect protein.

NPR is obsessed with the bug-eating controversy. Earlier this year they did another story about this very subject, in which they simultaneously argued that nobody wants you to eat bugs, but also that you really should want to eat bugs and it is racism and colonialism to reject the idea.

Which is it? You don’t want us to, or we are racist to not want to?

If you don’t like bugs, you best prepare to be called a racist, conspiracy-theorist nature-hater. pic.twitter.com/Yw0AvyCjqJ

As I have discussed a number of times, the World Economic Forum has numerous articles on its website about how switching from meat to bugs is a great way to reduce the environmental impact of food production. Now even I will admit that this solution is superior to the Soylent Green alternative, but hardly an attractive one.

Of course, many in the MSM are calling criticism of The Great Reset a “conspiracy theory,” although I admit I haven’t seen anybody refer to opposing it is racist…yet. I haven’t looked, though.

Clearly, NPR is throwing this smokescreen out there for a simple reason: demanding people eat bugs is a bridge too far, at least at present. Western governments haven’t closed enough farms–yet–to force people to look for alternatives, and all the fluffing the MSM and bureaucrats can’t seem to get anybody in the mood for some nice mealworm pasta.

Hence it is unsurprising that a limited fallback is taking place, just as happened with the gas stove issue. First, they want to ban gas stoves. People erupt. Then they fall back and claim it was all a misunderstanding. Then they moved forward with…banning gas stoves. In fact, many states are simply banning new gas hookups, making the point moot.

NPR of course went for the double whammy knocking back the opposition. Not only is it a conspiracy theory–it is a racist conspiracy theory.

It must poll really badly for them to bring out the big guns!
