I almost want to leave peoples' minds closed about this kind of thing to avoid an increase in demand. I don't want my Sal de Gusano doubling in price either.

It is published World Economic Forum propaganda to move the global population away from eating meat, to eating bugs, for 'sustainability' reasons. Similar to 'you will own nothing, and be happy'. Kinda interesting to see who dismisses it as a conspiracy theory when it's published on the WEF website:

If anything, you'd expect 'globalists' would be, at least passively, on the anti-ant side; globalisation has tended to diminish regional cultural practices.

(As far as I can see, though, most people who use the term 'globalists' (vs globalisation) are actually using it to mean essentially a reheated version of Nazi conspiracy theories, so, well, who knows.)

They are researching the use of certain ants as flavor enhancers. Mexicans know a thing or two about making food delicious, and Chicatana ants are used in Oaxacan cuisine to add complexity to sauces. Rest assured, this is entirely based on merit of the price-to-flavor ratio and not a conspiracy to replace your steak.

As if the World isn't complicated enough already, some people feel the need to add complexity to their sauces.

Digging out Honeyants to eat in recess during primary school is more a local thing than a globalist thing .. it's not even woke, it's just free candy.
