Joe Rogan was a shill for Big Food. He was planted into Fear Factor..

..to convince people not to eat bugs, because Big Food doesn't like that they're free.


Insects are incredibly insanely nutritious, and we kill them and leave them like its going out of style. He convinced the TV world that eating bugs was "gross" and something to be feared by feeding people completely unprepared live bugs.

Just because they are free. (also they are non-gmo and free range ppl!!)

Here is the most official chart possible for lazies and monetized food shills. http://www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3253e/i3253e06.pdf

They cannot deny the amazing dietary value of insects, however they do their best to not exactly promote eating them. They don't test many bugs and they do not perform the detailed breakdown in the tests vs beef with the best insects they could. (still the tested insects destroy beef in most categories)

There are also moments like this; " - metamorphic stage and diet highly influence nutritional value,making all-encompassing statements on the micronutrient content of insect species of little value" LOL They vary yeah, but they all have the goods people.

It's still an eyeopening read and well prepared, even if certain sections are written entirely op-ed by the FAO without any quoting from the tests they drew the data from. I just don't have time for shills.

(insects also have amino acids that are hard to find, and some that are not listed in this specific study)

I'd recommend searching yourself as everything I found was amazing and I could go all day. (though reads are long). Also you need to make sure you are searching for the bugs in your area and ones that don't just eat whatever. (though most bugs are picky eaters and we don't throw a trough in front of a single one of them)

Kids that squash caterpillars at recess don't know, if they had just eaten it too, it would have been the most nutritious thing they probably ate all day.

 

10/10 would read again

 

Wrong forum lol

 

I'm more surprised that Rogan and Bravo didn't promote japanese bug fights

 

He's the face of the UFC, the most important person in the UFC. The UFC gives Rogan credibility. Right forum IMO.

 

Anderson "The Spider" Silva... there, now it's about bugs and the UFC.

 

That's exactly what some anti-human eating shill would say! You know humans are the perfect superfood, right? Do you think Dana is fighting the alien takeover agenda with the new Reebok brand tinfoil hat?

 

white belts

 

And ... now we're here in the right forum! Do not pass go, do not collect $200.

 

Probably not, but I wouldn't be that surprised if it were true.

Big companies pack propaganda in many different forms.

 

i blame you. Why spread misinformation about insects? Do you love big macs that much? You propagandist. At least Rogan gets paid.

 

Keep eating the Soylent Green pal, it's good for ya.

 

Do you ever think for yourself?

 

What if I find something that is incredibly nutritious but not incredibly insanely nutritious, will I get the same health benefits?

 

Fuck yeah.
