God is very specific about what we are to eat and His clean eating guidelines do in fact include some insects…
“‘All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean. Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean. ~ Leviticus 11:21-23
Even John the Baptist, when he preached in the wilderness of Judea, enjoyed some creepy crawlies as we read in Matthew 3:4:
“ John’s clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey. “
But would you trust the global scientists and lab chefs to pay any mind to what God says? A scary proposition, no doubt.
Here is an interesting read on the latest insect science projects, I mean, products, the concerns, and a video on the foul processes they are practicing in hopes to get us all to love a belly full of bugs. The video describes how bugs contains a substance that cannot be removed from the cells of a bug called ‘chitins’ that humans cannot process and that cause respiratory issues and even spinal cancer.
Eating Bugs Is NOT Healthy!

Recently, groups such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) have made a push for humans to begin eating bugs regularly, in the name of sustainability. But numerous preppers and homesteaders have spoken out, writing articles and creating videos talking about the dangers of eating bugs. It is becoming increasingly clear that eating bugs is simply unhealthy and potentially dangerous.
An article in Farmer’s Weekly also explains the dangers of eating bugs.
Farmer’s Weekly is reporting that, “The farming and processing of edible insects for human and animal consumption appears to be gaining in popularity. However, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, there are risks to eating insects that have not been farmed with the correct biosecurity measures in place, and these risks are potentially dangerous to human and animal health.”
Thus, it is becoming increasingly clear that this agenda has nothing to do with sustainability and is actually about degrading the human spirit.
Farmer’s Weekly goes on to state that, “Historically, many cultures in different parts of the world have made insects a part of their diets. According to recent estimates, approximately 2 111 species of insects are consumed in about 140 countries, with entomophagy [the practice of eating insects] documented around the world. Research shows that 92% of known edible insect species are wild harvested, 6% are semi-domesticated, and 2% are farmed. Among the known wild-harvested edible insect species, 88% are terrestrial, while the rest are collected from aquatic ecosystems. With the global population expected to reach 9,7 billion by 2050, concerns are growing over whether the planet’s finite resources such as agricultural land can meet the food needs of so many people. Such food-security concerns are propelling exploration into alternative food sources for humans and animals that are nutritionally sound and can be obtained sustainably.
An alternative food and feed source ~ Insects are fast emerging as a viable food and feed group, with mass production gaining popularity globally. This can be attributed to the significant nutritional value of insects, as well as the environmental benefits and improvement in livelihoods associated with insect farming. However, insects might carry biological and chemical contaminants as well as physical hazards that can be detrimental to the health of consumers. These food safety hazards are associated with direct or indirect (via animal feed) consumption of insects. According to the European Food Safety Authority, the health risks associated with using insects as food for humans and as animal feed depend on the insect species and their substrate, as well as on how the insects are reared, harvested and processed. It should be pointed out, however, that the food safety hazards described below apply to numerous foods and not only to insects. Unlike other livestock, insects are consumed in their entirety, which necessitates paying close attention to how they are farmed and processed. Insects can accumulate contaminants from their feed or housing materials. Due to their small size, it can be difficult to decontaminate harvested insects, and any eventual contamination may be carried along the production and processing chain.
