If history doesn't repeat it often rhymes. Mutiny on the Bounty. The story that inspired the movie was really about Breadfruit. A cheap, easy to grow starch to fill the stomachs of slaves working on all of the plantations in the tropics. The British empire wanted to cut down on the cost and logistics of feeding their otherwise free labor. And their botanists who sailed on their ships exploring the world looked for cheap, easy to grow food for that very reason.
The National Geographic article below is a brief introduction into this history of the breadfruit, more is available online if you wish to search for and read it:
Breadfruit and ‘The Bounty’ That Brought It Across the Ocean
"April 28 is the anniversary of the mutiny on The Bounty, possibly the most famous mutiny in history, and probably, when it comes to mutinies, the only one that most of us can name.
On that fatal date in 1789, the crew of the H.M.S. Bounty, led by first mate Fletcher Christian...revolted against their tyrannical captain, William Bligh. The upshot was that Bligh and 18 loyal supporters were sent off to sea in a 23-foot open boat, presumably to their deaths, while Christian and followers, after a brief stop in Tahiti to collect women, retired to isolated Pitcairn Island in hopes of living happily ever after.
...
In reality, Christian and cohorts were less romantic than popularly portrayed; Bligh, though admittedly lacking social skills, was not wholeheartedly evil; and breadfruit, which generally gets short shrift in the narrative, actually played a starring role.
Breadfruit, officially Artocarpus altilis, is a member of the fig family, a tall, leathery-leaved tropical tree that bears prickly, yellow-green, football-sized fruits. Europeans first discovered it in 1769 when Captain Cook arrived in Tahiti, where he and his crew of scientists were tasked with observing the transit of Venus. Along for the ride was botanist Joseph Banks, who zeroed in on breadfruit as a potential source of cheap and nutritious food for slaves on the sugar plantations of the British West Indies. Banks pitched the idea to King George III, who authorized Bligh to spearhead the breadfruit-gathering expedition.
Researchers generally agree that Banks made a great pick. Today breadfruit is touted as the world’s next superfood. It’s prolific: A single tree can produce 450 pounds of fruit per season; it grows rapidly, producing fruit within three to four years; and it’s relatively maintenance-free.
The fruits are nutritious. They’re heavy in starch, with a carbohydrate content equivalent to that of potatoes, corn, and rice; and they contain a hefty complement of fiber, minerals (including potassium, phosphorus, and calcium), and vitamins." [FF Note: misleading, yes, lots of fiber, but the minerals and vitamins are scant, breadfruit is little more than starch to fill hungry bellies, as rice is in poor nations. Not a "superfood" as healthy eaters would deem.] "Furthermore, breadfruit thrives in the tropics and subtropics, where today 80 percent of the world’s most hungry live.
...
Enraged mutineers hurled the breadfruit plants into the drink, which was the end of them, but not of Bligh.
...
Bligh came out of his ordeal a hero, and was promoted to captain. But he wasn’t done with breadfruit.
In 1791, he was dispatched again for Tahiti on board the Providence. This time he collected 2,126 breadfruit seedlings, of which 678 survived the voyage to the Caribbean. Bligh delivered his breadfruit to the islands of St. Vincent and Jamaica.
And there, after all that time and trouble, breadfruit hit a culinary wall. Nobody liked it. The slaves refused to eat it. They fed it to the pigs.
Though the common name “breadfruit” comes from the fruit’s supposed resemblance to fresh-baked bread, the broader consensus is that its taste is bland to blah. Some compare it to a cross between undercooked potato and plantain. Others mention wallpaper paste. It was over 40 years before the new food was generally accepted in the islands, by which time slavery, abolished in the British Empire in 1834, was a thing of the past.
Today, however, breadfruit is a staple of Jamaican cuisine. The versatile fruit can be boiled, baked, fried, and steamed, mashed to make porridge or pudding (with added vanilla and nutmeg), packed into pies, or ground into flour. Creative cooks have managed to turn it into everything from tamales to tarts, pickles, curry, and pizza. It can also be pureed to make baby food. (See How to Cook Breadfruit.)
Under the auspices of Jamaica’s National Tropical Botanical Garden’s Breadfruit Institute, breadfruit as a potentially life-saving food crop is being promoted worldwide (See Can Breadfruit Beat Its Bum Rap?)."
FF - This story reveals how the blue bloods still think of us today - as slaves. History rhyming if not repeating. Zee bugz are zee new breadfruit. They believe that after enough time passes we'll stop bitching and moaning about them and eventually become enthusiastic eaters, sharing our favorite bug recipes!
Or we just mutiny and throw the blue bloods overboard.
That's exactly what the mutineers on the Bounty and the slaves on the plantations thought about breadfruit! The parallels are the hard to ignore. They see *us* as slaves. They must destroy our souls, break our spirit, debase us to get us to accept our enslavement. They believe we've gotten to big for our britches, and need to be reminded who's the boss.
Or we mutiny. And show them who's the boss. It seems as if it will be one or the other. The old rules of cohabiting this world as equals appear to be ending.
I've enjoyed some breadfruit dishes in Puerto Rico. That's where I first learned about them, their history while exploring El Yunque. While lacking the protein found in bugs if push came to shove I'd rather eat them. Insects are not generally safe to eat, full of parasites and other harmful microbiological threats and toxins, even when ground into powder. That type of protein is worse than no protein at all.
Which is probably the point. Or maybe some blue bloods made a Trading Places Duke Brother's $1 bet that they could make Americans eat bugs as they exterminate us like bugs? They are unquestionably warped and sociopathic enough to make that type of bet for their own entertainment.
Get everyone in Davos meeting depopulated. And the whole UN depopulated. And W.H.O including Tedros. And there will be plenty of food. Oh and Bill Gates, Harriri,etc
It's hard to pinpoint which 3 lettered agency has the highest degree of people sporting delusional sociopathic tendencies, but the WEF has got to be near the top.
Nobody knows how to make delicious and nutritious food better than our local farmers. They have centuries of experience! But we, the people, must not let the farmland be destroyed by chem trail fallout being sprayed in our atmosphere. We must rise up and join the fight to save humanity and the Earth's biosphere.
Our food supply is further endangered by the extermination/culling of animals. This culling for our saftey by viruses, imagined or real, but shown to be benign. Fearporn from 2019/20 again.
Bugs are being added to our food supply without proper labeling is an allergy danger to some and just unconscionable and disgusting to most others.
That's interesting. I know there's a Canadian company which uses cricket flour or something similar in their snack food and that's part of their advertising.
I read that cochineal coloring has to be clearly labeled now.
What I suspect is that people will complain about this garbage and a lot of smarter food companies will end up labeling their products as "99% insect -free". Unfortunately, we can't avoid eating them entirely.
But I do remember reading that vegans were able to be healthier when living in India than after they moved to the UK because in India the food wasn't as clean so they got more protein from insects. All this trash about adding insects to food doesn't just give them a pass to use this shit as ingredients, it allows them to serve up less-clean food. Ugh.
I am subscribed to the WEF newsletters for the sole purpose of keeping tabs on what they are up to. Reading between their lines it is all a pit full of idiocy and lunacy and I can’t but feel both profound pity and disgust at the faithful that fall for their garbage. How can people be so feeble minded and gullible. These are the same specimens that believe, no doubt, fairy tale stories such as that vaccines are safe and effective, climate is changing or that Russians eat their babies .
Not after they are taken out at their next love fest in Davos. Can’t we get some professional girls that would infect the whole lot of them with some deadly virus. Surely Fauci funded something that is transmissible to the most arrogant amongst us.
The next plandemic, avian flu, is a clever opportunity from the elites to kill both chicken, ducks and cattle en masse, and rid us of real food, and/or make it out of reach financially because of scarcity. In the carnage are included our cats, oh soooo at risk of propagating bird flu. There're cornering us. I'm very concerned about the survival of our farmers/farms.
I believe the WEF is a terrorist organization and they are behind the destruction of our food supplies in order to force mankind to Eat ze bugs.
I will NOT comply with anything put out by the WEF, UN, CDC, NIH, etc. as they all have been proven to be liars.
All Malary with a hidden agenda for the deranged humans who want power and control over humanity.

Great history.
To me, the bugs are about debasing us, a means to break our spirit, a destruction of the soul--because they do not make sense any other way
That's exactly what the mutineers on the Bounty and the slaves on the plantations thought about breadfruit! The parallels are the hard to ignore. They see *us* as slaves.

Thanks for the history lesson! Reminds me of grits. Bland!

They are crazy
Oh, they're that and much more. They are all known, and will be held accountable in direct proportion to the acts they have committed. All is known.
Get everyone in Davos meeting depopulated. And the whole UN depopulated. And W.H.O including Tedros. And there will be plenty of food. Oh and Bill Gates, Harriri,etc
Davos should get a nice, gift wrapped hypersonic missile aimed directly at their meeting hall.
It's hard to pinpoint which 3 lettered agency has the highest degree of people sporting delusional sociopathic tendencies, but the WEF has got to be near the top.
Ponerology or in this case, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_ponerology
A word we should all become familiar with.
Nobody knows how to make delicious and nutritious food better than our local farmers. They have centuries of experience! But we, the people, must not let the farmland be destroyed by chem trail fallout being sprayed in our atmosphere. We must rise up and join the fight to save humanity and the Earth's biosphere.
Let the WEF eat ze bugs!
I would rather feed the WEF to bugs
Our food supply is further endangered by the extermination/culling of animals. This culling for our saftey by viruses, imagined or real, but shown to be benign. Fearporn from 2019/20 again.
Bugs are being added to our food supply without proper labeling is an allergy danger to some and just unconscionable and disgusting to most others.
They aren't being labeled properly? How so?
Labeling does not say cricket or insect powder or protein. If listed will say Gryllus assimilis.
Not easily identified by most ppl. I read that the ingredients may not be listed. That concerns me.
That's interesting. I know there's a Canadian company which uses cricket flour or something similar in their snack food and that's part of their advertising.
I read that cochineal coloring has to be clearly labeled now.
Then there is this, for what it's worth:
https://www.chefsresource.com/how-are-crickets-labeled-in-food/
Thank you. Check this too.

Snopes sucks but yeah, social media posts aren't exactly documentation.

And,The stupid reporters and editors at MainstreamMedia are fanning the flames of this.
I wish incitement to be limited to soccer and baseball.
Other than the globalist world "leaders", nobody reads the WEF trash, unless it is to make fun of it.
I am subscribed to the WEF newsletters for the sole purpose of keeping tabs on what they are up to.

How can people be so feeble minded and gullible. These are the same specimens that believe, no doubt, fairy tale stories such as that vaccines are safe and effective, climate is changing or that Russians eat their babies .
And they wonder why so many countries want to join the BRICS. Klaus recently said that collaboration between nations will need to be FORCED.
KLAUS NEEDS AN ELECTRIC CATTLE PROD FORCED UP HIS ANUS.
He's definitely bad news. But in a sense, those who take him seriously are at least as nuts as he is.
When psychopaths gain control of a society, the result is Pathocracy: rule by an evil minority.
The WEF is part of the pathocracy enslaving us today
the UN Food and Agricultural Organization has been working on using insects for food since 2003 because the peasants can eat "za bugs"
Why do sane men & women listen to this lunatic? Below is a short clip demonstrating his delusions!

WEF BS
The next plandemic, avian flu, is a clever opportunity from the elites to kill both chicken, ducks and cattle en masse, and rid us of real food, and/or make it out of reach financially because of scarcity. In the carnage are included our cats, oh soooo at risk of propagating bird flu. There're cornering us. I'm very concerned about the survival of our farmers/farms.
That is why Door to Freedom has made turning around the Attack on Food its primary mission for the next year.
the WEF can eat sh*t.
It must be common core math...
