Instead of donating multi-vitamins for poor countries UN is recommending the poor people eat insects.
Unbelievable.

Yum, insects. Maybe that should be the next meal for all the UN members at their next meeting.

So? plenty of people already eat various insects all around the world.
They choose ones which are good to eat, No just grab any cockroach and stuff in in your piehole.
Keep the distinction.
Like eating meat. No one eats ratmeat.. Well maybe not too many. LOL

These are exotic habits and seems occasional.
An organization that self grants the liberty house and take care of nations such as the UN can not recommend this absurd as normal.

To hungy people the easiest way to go is multi vitamin $25/set of 3 = 390 tablets, one per day.

anyways the problem is not what to eat, there is more than enough food out there for everyone. the problem is distribution.

The prob would be money or lack of, as govs are not giving free food to poor people.

I'm going to go out on a limb and disagree. Heck, the US gives out BILLIONS to the people in the Country through various programs (WIC, Foodstamps, etc) and UNESCO gives it out wordwide (with the US as the largest gross contributor).

Other countries do so as well.

Multivitamins = expensive urine. Better to eat a bug or banana or bok choy or.......

Insects are a very efficent live stock.
It's funny, many people in the US (boneless chicken breast folk) would consider much of Brazilian fare as "exotic habits".

I've got enough fresh stinkbugs here to feed a small army of peacekeepers so anytime the UN wants to drop by, well, the door is open!

When they come by, just tell them "Gentlemen, open your pieholes".

That's why they're looking for other sources of food - giving food away doesn't solve hunger (can't get into too much because of limits in forum)

I was always curious how the first human to eat a lobster came to the conclusion that it might even be edible.

Thanks.
Seems to me UN want to ridicule the poor people/countries.
Insect is not food for people, only for birds and other animals.
