More on the coming famine, not for the lack of food but over the high cost of food due in large part to the Bio-Diesel and Ethanol-Gasoline programs in the US and the EU. The time is now to stock up on common dry good food items Flour, sugar, macaroni products, rice, and beans. (Prices will go up 4x and 5x on all these goods) The coming famine will last for several years, it will cause massive death through starvation, riots in poor countries, and the violent overthrow of western style and moderate Muslim governments, with radical Muslim governments.

Know that the taking of poor peoples food to make fuel for rich western nations is indefensible regardless of the reason.

How do you explain this engineered famine to the poor and starving as they watch their grandparents and children die with no relief in sight as US and EU food programs are greatly reduced due to the coming “high cost” of basic dry goods. The word of this came up of this coming famine crisis over a year ago in relation to upheaval in the EU. (Word of the Lord to France)

U.N. Conference Promotes Insect-Eating for Everyone From Famine Victims to Astronauts

CHIANG MAI, Thailand —

Crickets, caterpillars and grubs are high in protein and minerals and could be an important food source during droughts and other emergencies, according to scientists.

"I definitely think they can assist," said German biologist V.B. Meyer-Rochow, who regularly eats insects and wore a T-shirt with a Harlequin longhorn beetle to a U.N.-sponsored conference this month on promoting bugs as a food source.

Three dozen scientists from 15 countries gathered in this northern Thailand city, home to several dozen restaurants serving insects and other bugs. Some of their proposals were more down to earth than others.

A Japanese scientist proposed bug farms on spacecraft to feed astronauts, noting that it would be more practical than raising cows or pigs. Australian, Dutch and American researchers said more restaurants are serving the critters in their countries.

The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization estimates 1,400 species of insects and worms are eaten in almost 90 countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Researchers at the conference detailed how crickets and silk worms are eaten in Thailand, grubs and grasshoppers in Africa and ants in South America.
