[buttbERry]

For me is a no

 

[bigrooster]

No.

But what if they grind the insects into powder form and mix it with flour to make bread, without us knowing it?

 

[dambio]

Nope. Dun wan

bread already contains accidental insect bits. From the harvesting.

 

[batuchka]

its a WEF/Globalist scam and hell no!

I was not talking about accidental inclusion, but on deliberate substitution of flour with insect powder. They were already promoting this.

蟋蟀磨成粉 制成面包 (ground cricket powder to make bread )​

淡马锡理工应用科学院烹饪导师林福成介绍一款用蟋蟀粉制成的面包，若不把蟋蟀放在面包上点缀，单凭面包的卖相和味道，跟全面粉做的面包相似。

They need to be transparent about it for consumers to make their choices. While the cost of using insect powder in place of flour is a separate thing, if manufacturers or sellers sneaked in insect powder without any labelling/indication and had consumers ingested them unknowingly is plain unethical to say the least.

I am not saying this would happen but seeing how people do things nowadays, nothing is impossible. If true, it is no longer "i choose not to eat insects", but "I thought I did not eat insects but actually already did so unknowingly".

i mean
they can just publish it in some obscure place when its first introduced.
the average consumer wont take the time or onus to look up all these different letters and numbers. So many food additives and chemical flavourings... who even knows off the top of their head what 'E123' is?

i think it'll probably happen in the future. Even if not SG, but globally. Its like sneaking in cheaper soy substitutes into meat products..
