We all know it's true.
Europe Certifies Crickets, Worms, And Grasshoppers As Edible Food Amid Soaring Food Prices
Across the world, households are experiencing an exponential rise in food inflation. This holiday season, from Brazil to China to European countries to the US, households will pay near-record prices for food, which begs the question: Are households able to afford traditional food, or will they resort to substitutes to save money?
"You might be able to trade down on some things; instead of the high-priced turkeys or steaks, you might consider something less expensive on that side of the dinner table," Curt Covington, senior director of institutional credit at AgAmerica Lending, which lends money to farmers, told Bloomberg.
"But there's no escaping it: Everything on the holiday table "is just going to be more expensive," Covington said.
For example, working poor Americans have had trouble affording essential goods amid rapid inflation. A staggering 6.8% surge in consumer costs is the highest in four decades, making things like food unaffordable because wages haven't kept pace with inflation. The same is happening for households worldwide.
With that in mind, households are likely to substitute popular holiday foods with low-cost items. There's even a chance that some might resort to eating bugs and worms.
European member states certified house crickets, yellow mealworms, and grasshoppers as food fit to be sold at supermarkets.

I certainly see it as I do our grocery shopping. Food inflation cannot be hidden by the left. They are dead meat in 2022.

Yep, the left always targets the poor. :sneaky:
Meaning, most of us can endure a price increase, but the poor cannot.
American democrats are evil foreign scum.
They want us to eat bugs while they wine and dine.
I think because europeans are ahead of us on the slide to hell.

Yep, and for some weird reason the Marxist DNC has always envied them.
People I've worked with over the decades, always idolized Europe, saying they were soooo Progressive, that no one shoots anyone over there.
Literally gushing over the prospect that we were on the same path, but it was taking too long. They would compare us at every level, most of it was on an emotional level.
Well, now all of them have seen the light, so bright, that they became Trump supporters. :lol: :lol: :lol:

But it keeps the poor looking to the government for their needs.

Europe, schmeurope. Home of marvelous ideas like communism, Nazism, and ... France. Ick.
The first war this infant nation had to fight was not the Revolutionary War against the British. It was the French and Indian War. Against ... France. Ick.
The European urge to possess the New World has never really abated. The British still have their hooks in Canada. Except for Quebec. It's ... French. Ick.
Now we're being invaded with mindless, mundane European ideas like "roundabouts," very possibly the dumbest concept in traffic engineering ever conceived. They're quite popular in ... France. Ick.
