No one wants you to eat bugs.
Big chocolate covered cricket industry in shambles.
(Not really, because if pp is elected people gonna be so broke they’re gonna be rationed a daily allotment of grubs)
I’ve never understood the “bug conspiracy”. Let’s assume that there is a movement of people that wants everyone to eat bugs, and let’s ignore any pros or cons about their consumption. How would that affect one’s life? Without legislation mandating it’s use (which I’d wager would be illegal, anyways — unless, ofc, there was a large enough majority of people in a democratic country who are in favor of forcing bugs on everyone to overrule said laws), one couldn’t be forced to consume it; those who’d want to consume it will consume it, and those who don’t won’t. Where exactly is the issue?
“Let them eat cake” is a very old journalist meme about government indifference to the horrible suffering it causes to the impoverished people.
“Let them eat cake” is the traditional translation of the French phrase “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”, said to have been spoken in the 18th century by “a great princess” upon being told that the peasants had no bread. The phrase “let them eat cake” is conventionally attributed to Marie Antoinette, although there is no evidence that she ever uttered it, and it is now generally regarded as a journalistic cliché. The French phrase mentions brioche, a bread enriched with butter and eggs, considered a luxury food. The quote is taken to reflect either the princess’s frivolous disregard for the starving peasants or her poor understanding of their plight.

Like many other memes and political slogans, it is falsely attributed to someone who actually didn’t say it.
So we have gone from, “Let them eat cake” to “Make them eat cake [bugs]” as a political meme used by journalists and agitators to promote an agenda of faux resistance.
