Re: Re: HELP! One KNAT on top of mushroom! OT

Hi ,

Enjoyed the article, although I didn't agree about growing meat without an

animal or insect. I've eaten big juicy grasshoppers before. Good idea to pull

the legs off first, though. They have a tendency to get stuck in the throat. LOL

Some of our Mexican friends like to eat them and one day they gave us a dish to

try. When you deep fat fry them, they taste about like bacon, and I'm not

kidding either. I imagine crickets would be about the same. Just a goofy,

illogical American mindset that insects aren't food.

Thanks,

Put me in Rodrick's camp as well. Get the gnat out and move on. A

gnat is not in the same camp as mold. Just a little protein is all. A

great article on bugs and diet can be found here:

Nay lad!

I think it's pretty universal that one. Likewise horses, they eat horse

" sur le continent " but our lot have a taboo. I think it's to do with

regarding them as " pets " whereas cows, sheep and pigs are " food " .

My philosophy is ... if somewhere in the world they call it food rather

than using it to stave off hunger I'm prepared to try it. SO LONG AS I

see it done first.

Hey ,

Are you saying you have some pet crickets? or grubs? trained fleas? ;-) Maybe it

is pretty universal NOW, but as the article pointed out, there were many other

civilizations that used to eat insects. Maybe I should change it to say it's a

goofy, illogical, MODERN mindset.

You are probably right though. It would seem impractical to have a large meal of

insects. Think of all that catching and running about you'd have to do... just

to get a few. Maybe they just used them for an appetizer, or like you said, to

stave off hunger.

Anyway, I certainly don't think we should be worrying about a bug or two in our

kt unless you have a really weak immune system. Not to offend those who mind it.

If you check the Old Testament you'll find insects are not on the approved food

list, even when they are chocolate coated.

What? the Baptist ate " honey and locusts " in the wilderness. Oh, I guess

that isn't Old Testament, but at least it's in the Bible. :-) His " locusts " were

probably our grasshoppers.

Guess we are ALL sinners! Think the honey makes for sweeter sin?

No, honey doesn't make for sweeter sin. Btw, we aren't sinning NOW by eating

grasshoppers. ;-) Where did you find in the Old T. about not eating insects

anyway?

Hmmm.... I just found a verse on my Power Bible program that says the opposite

of what you said:

Le 11:22 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. -KJV

How do you explain that? I couldn't find anything against eating insects.

Rodrick -this is getting interesting!

I am here for kombucha discussions not for religious discussions, I am sure

there are a multitude of newsgroups for that.

Precisely Don,

That's why I invented a group with, currently, 12 members. It *has* no

subject/affiliation and, ergo, it's impossible to go off topic.

.

N. England.

If a group has NO topic there's no such thing as going " Off-topic "

A.B.A.L.T.A.T.

" Any, LEGAL, topic which other groups would consider Off-Topic. "

http://uk./group/ABALTAT/

Current membership ¦;-) =12

Any advance on 12?
