Has Brexit squashed our edible insect industry?The blurb goes on to repeat the all-too-familiar pro-bug eating propaganda, and suggests there could a "revival":
Bugs - the superfood that doesn't cost the earth. They're higher in protein than meat and release far lower CO2 emissions than livestock farming. So experts tell us that, if we want to save the planet, we should eat more insects. However, selling insects as food in the UK was essentially banned following Brexit, leaving the insect industry in limbo. But could there now be a revival?The "revival" has been in the works for at least a few weeks. Last month the UK government launched a "consultation" on the legal status of edible insects, according to the Food Standard's Agency website:
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) has set out plans to allow edible insects to remain on the market while they go through the Novel Foods authorisation process to assess their safety.This means you can now legally farm and sell edible insects in the UK, despite there being no formal legal approval or even an "assessment of their safety".
Comment: It looks that the cashless society is closer as every day passes. As the economy is crumbling down and prices are skyrocketing, it is a time to think why they are forcing the cashless paying system so much?
Only the big corporations like Amazon will decide if someone can be "suitable" for that kind of transactions. That will for sure lead to even more crime and black-market transactions. The psychopathic authorities answer will be more restrictive laws and even more totalitarian rule. It is an infinite loop that will lead to slavery that we can't even imagine.
The sci-fi movies and books on this subject will became a kids story before bed.
That is the new normal they want to create.
