Starvation-threatened Africans are being encouraged to eat insects by a UK aid initiative.
African caterpillars, migratory locusts and black soldier flies are on the menu under the initiative taking place in Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo - but locals are rejecting the offer due to the taste and cultural norms.
Dr Alberto Fiore, the project lead who has whipped up a dish of locally farmed mopane worms, cereals, and fruits, has also created a insect-based porridge containing grains including sorghum and millets, which he reassured the Guardian is palatable.
No. I absolutely do not mean like China. They just wrote off shit tonnes of debt to 17 african countries, which they also did last year. And the “debt trap” bullshit about them is a myth.
This is the complete polar opposite of how the west behaves to the global south, which is precisely why the global south hates the west while having a very positive view towards China. There is a reason the global south has completely different opinions about them compared to the west and it has a material cause.
