This is a facebook bs repost. There are no articles from 'authorities' encouraging anyone to eat the moths.
Sir this is a shitpost
Remember, everything we see on the Internet is totally true. If we find out otherwise, we need to shout it from the mountaintops rather than just rolling out eyes and moving on
The world is a shitpost. Hard to find the truth today.
Sir, a lot of ppl in these comments seem to have missed that. Just providing context that it is, in fact, not true
The Ngunnawal people came to Canberra specifically to harvest Bogong moths during the migration as they are a valuable source of protein and fats.
All the people here having a crack at Australian cuisine don’t have a clue. These moths are quite tasty.
What do they taste like?
A light nutty taste. Very moreish with a bit of salt
Mothy
The wings totally helped with presentation
This is only like one degree away from the protein bars in snowpiercer
Wheren’t those actual humans?
It was roaches.
Which doesn't sound healthy since a lot of people are allergic to roaches.
You're thinking of Soylent Green
in the book it's people, in the movie it's bugs
That explains why they announced it with such horror. I never really understood that.
Gotcha
Is this a recession signal?
I've eaten thai-style fried crickets, they really weren't that bad. I think you just have to turst that they indeed are edible, so its easier to think of them as food rather than bugs
"really weren't that bad" is not the recommendation you think it is.
Yea i get it. But like i'd rather eat them bugs than olives, for example, thats just how I feel
The big problem with eating fried insects is that you need to rinse your mouth with something or the bits stay around. Flour made from insects may be better, but it is 5-10 as much cost, and since it is mostly proteins you would need special recipes for it, I guess.
Most insects probably have similar mouth feel issues.
Is it not customary to have a drink with your meals?
The words "insects" and "mouth feel" do not belong in the same sentence.

This guy insects!
I know this is privileged but if it comes down to needing to eat insects, just put me down.
I went from being a typical omnivore to vegan within the span of a week and it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done in my life. So when I see people resorting to eating insects it’s really bewildering to me. Like, you’d rather eat bugs than just eat plants?
eat your bugs
honestly looks delicious
You can have mine, pass me your steak.
Dunno about the wings tho.
Has anyone ever said "Hey babe let's go to the Australian restaurant tonight"
I don't think Australians even say that.
I'm guessing Outback Steakhouse doesn't really count lol
They opened during that dumb Australia fad after Crocodile Dundee was such a big hit, then they were stuck with that lame theme when the fad died.
Outback Steakhouse
Lord of the Fries is pretty awesome for a fast food place. Good prices, tasty burgers and hot dogs, 100% vegan.
Are people getting mad at a shitpost? Again?
How is 40 billion moths, considered "scarcity"?
