The New York Times OpinionSection encourages everyone to train as insectivores so they can join the fight against climate change.
The video, headlined “The Joy of Cooking (Insects),” pontificated how “Climate-conscious cooking means getting creative” — with bugs. Opinion Video’s Deputy Director Jonah Kessel and Tala Schanzberg (Opinion visuals journalist) wrote the description. Times correspondent Kirk Semple promoted eating bugs as some sort of solution to protect Gaia: “[A]s we explore in the Opinion Video above, a growing tribe of environmentalists, academics and entrepreneurs are arguing that edible insects must enjoy a wider acceptance to help create a more sustainable global food system and save the planet.”
The Times video itself spent over 11 minutes propagandizing about bug-eating while trying to scare people about climate change being a so-called “global emergency.” Cricket-diet-advocating Entomo Farms co-founder Darren Goldin, featured at the beginning of the video, salivates: “I don’t think there’s an insect I wouldn’t eat.” Sounds like he’s channeling Pumbaa’s iconic line on bug eating: “Slimy yet satisfying.”
Times Opinion tried convincing people that, “Scientists have warned that unless we make major adjustments to the kinds of food we eat and how we produce it, we have no chance of meeting our climate goals.” The solution apparently means getting rid of people’s meat-eating habits: “A change in dietary patterns, especially reduced demand for meat, would help relieve pressure on the environment and mitigate global warming.” To quote Disney’s favorite meerkat Timon, “Eh, we’re fresh out of Zebra.”
You can get rid of meat, but bring in the bugs! Times Opinion:
That’s where insects come in. Even though research is still very early, it appears that edible insects may be an eco-friendly alternative to traditional livestock. The potential for insects to be used as pets food or as a source of feed for traditional livestock is immense.
Oh, well. Hakuna matata?
