. . . if the United Nations gets its way, we might all soon be adding creepy-crawlies to our weekly shopping lists. The UN is considering strategies to cut levels of meat consumption worldwide as part of its commitment to stamp out famine and cut global warming.And it claims livestock, such as cows and pigs, requires too much space and fodder to be an energy-efficient source of food for the everexpanding population.
Ultimately, it argues, there’s simply not enough land for us all to eat roast beef.
And so the UN Food & Agriculture Organisation is urging us to try other alternatives, including insects.
No problemo. Get back to me the day after your new multi-limbed (and no, lobsters don't qualify) cuisine hits the UN cafeteria.

No, not for everyone. You can bet the farm that the professional, blood sucking bureaucrats at the U.N. will still be getting their daily ration of the finest meat available. Their philosophy is the same as that of Marie Antoinette; to paraphrase: let them eat bugs!
