Are Mealworm Products Really For Human Consumption?

The question is, “Are mealworm products really for human consumption?”

On the 6th May 2021 on Euronews; one story reported that captured my interest was of mealworms (the yellow mealworm) being approved by the EU for human consumption, with other insect products to be added to the list.

Are we being fooled into thinking it’s for HUMAN CONSUMPTION, when really, it’s for the alien population that live amongst us!

Apparently, mealworms are a beetle larva that is high in protein and is a great food to feed a pet lizard. However, feed a bearded dragon too much mealworms and it can cause obesity…

So, could humans become obese if mealworms are introduced into our food chain, especially when eaten regularly from a fast-food shop, or in a favourite snack or breakfast cereal?

We’ve heard that aliens live on the planet, so isn’t possible that they want to introduce their delicacies into our food chain to make it more accessible to them?

Maybe reptilians can’t stomach human food!

As this product will be adapted to the consumer market. We’ll find biscuits, pasta, burgers and even steaks camouflaged and under the pretence of protein.

So, shoppers beware of protein-based products on shelfs in shops and supermarkets.

I wonder if an image of a mealworm will be printed on the packaging?

Also, remember to ask about the ingredients before ordering at a restaurant, just in case you don’t want any extra mealworm protein in your starter, main course or desert…

It was mentioned that 2 million people worldwide have consumed insects and so this is the future…

Well, let’s see, could I swap a tasty mealworm protein snack for a bowl of Weetabix in the mornings?

Hmm, I think not. It sounds too squidgy for me, but hey if your happy to try out this new insect food than that’s great too…

But hey, I’m no nutritionist.

So, are mealworm products really for human consumption?”

What do you think?
