Flies on the side, please
One hundred schools in the Netherlands have replaced meat with insects on their menus
What is the EU preparing its population for by getting them accustomed to eating insects? These are already being used to produce food in the UK, Belgium, Finland… Even children are not spared, as they are subjected to ‘culinary’ experiments. Are Western European countries going nuts, or is this a feature of their sanctions policy against our region?

Forced ‘Euro standards’
The initiators explain the inclusion of mealworms and other insect-based snacks in school menus as a supposed effort to combat global warming. The project has been dubbed Insect Menu for a Sustainable Future. Instead of familiar meat dishes, children are being fed ‘dishes’ made with bugs, worms, and other insects.Proponents of this approach insist that insects are a more environmentally friendly and sustainable source of protein than traditional meat.
Experiments like this have long been promoted at the World Economic Forum in Davos by followers of Klaus Schwab. They have assured from the podium that the human habit of consuming meat comes at a high cost to the planet’s ecology. Cows, they claim, emit methane and, given their large numbers, they account for 14.5 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Another reason why we supposedly need to switch to insect protein is the lower cost of its production compared to beef. Beetles, worms, and flies have been loudly proclaimed as the proteins of the 21st century.
The aim of the experiment is to instil a new behavioural habit in future generations of Europe from an early age. Previously, global media had published articles about insects as a beneficial substitute for meat, even finding experts who tried to convince everyone of this.
At the beginning of 2023, one such expert explained why Europeans are transitioning from meat to insects. By that time, the EU had already approved not only mealworms and locusts for human consumption — these had been permitted earlier — but also house crickets and buffalo worms. These can now be added to bread, multigrain rolls, crackers, and breadsticks, as well as to mixtures for baked goods, biscuits... and even to pasta, both filled and unfilled, sauces, crisps, dishes based on legumes and vegetables, pizza, meat alternatives, soups, and soup concentrates, beer, and chocolate.
‘Wormy’ plans from London
Over two billion people worldwide consume insects. However, this is the case in countries where such traditions have existed for centuries, like in Africa or Asia. Interestingly, meat consumption in the EU plummeted by 27 percent in the year before last, while prices rose by 70 percent.This is a long-standing issue. Attempts to feed children insects were made as early as 2022. At that time, only a few Dutch schools agreed to conduct experiments on children, as reported by a local television channel. Children aged 10 to 12 were offered dishes made with mealworms and their larvae. Earlier, The Guardian reported that the UK had developed a project allegedly aimed at assisting Congo and Zimbabwe in cultivating edible insects. However, the project’s author, Professor Alberto Fiore, is unlikely to have tried such ‘delicacies’ himself.
For the global public, this was framed as assistance. Thus, it was claimed that Congo has little space for livestock farming, and the kind-hearted English will help Congolese people breed palm weevils, dung beetles, termites, and crickets. Furthermore, it was suggested to add mopane worms to school porridge in Zimbabwe. Officials planned to feed these to poor children in the southern city of Gwanda and in the capital of Zimbabwe, Harare. The generous English stated that the worms contained essential vitamins and minerals for the human body.
Rational people labelled London’s plans to feed Africans insects as unprecedented cynicism. Such a statement even came from a representative of Russia at a UN Security Council meeting.
Hypocrisy on a plate

At a press conference, PiS MP Bartosz Kownacki stated that PO candidates should write on their posters the slogan ‘Instead of chicken, eat a worm’. The state broadcaster TVP accompanied Kownacki’s press conference with a news ticker reading: ‘The opposition’s proposals for Poles: worms instead of meat’.
Not long ago, 1,000 Australian schools introduced a menu item featuring chips made from cricket flour. “Bugs are not food. They do not belong on your plate,” wrote article author Joel Agius. He believes that the idea of eating insects is the insanity that has taken hold of the minds of scientists and economists, “There is no doubt that the World Economic Forum likes bugs, but only if other people are eating them. Their reasoning for this hypocrisy is what you’d expect from people who always seem to be plotting to take over the planet and shape it into a full-blown socialist ‘Utopia’.”
The journalist is outraged by the brainwashing that begins in childhood. A teacher at one of the 1,000 Australian schools feeding children cricket chips asked, “Cricket chips are great, aren’t they?” The schoolchild nodded, and the teacher added, “Yes. Let’s eat more crickets!”“The globalists believe that the more people there are on Earth, the harder it is to manage them,” explained Russia’s State Duma deputy Oleg Leonov. “They want to switch us to cheaper, but less valuable food. Moreover, it depletes the vitamins in the human body, provokes allergic reactions, and respiratory diseases. These can be observed in shellfish processors who deal with chitin. This has also been confirmed by studies on chitosan, derived from crab shells. This means people will need more vitamins and medications, which, in turn, benefits transnational pharmaceutical companies.”
There is certainly something to this. It is also worth recalling a study conducted in Europe in 2019 on products from insect-producing enterprises. It was found that 81 percent of them were infected with parasites, a third of which are potentially dangerous to humans. The consequences of long-term consumption of insects in our diet have not been studied.
Grabbing a bug to eat

TO THE POINT
The decision on which insects are safe for human consumption is based on the EU Novel Foods Regulation. This regulation is part of the rules that have applied to new food products in the EU since 2018. Since then, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has received numerous applications for assessment, 15 of which pertain to insect products. House crickets and buffalo worms approved by the EFSA and the European Commission can now be used in frozen, paste, dried, and powdered forms for food production.By Lyudmila Gladkaya
