- Bill Gates and his allies are pushing insect protein as an alternative food source, raising concerns over traditional food systems.
- The Gates Foundation’s All Things Bugs initiative, supported by DARPA, is now using CRISPR/Cas9 to create genetically modified insects, with potential long-term safety and ethical questions.
- The U.S. military is being used as a testing ground for these experimental foods, with the ultimate goal of normalizing insect consumption among the broader population.
- Critics argue that labeling and transparency are lacking, and insect-based foods are being allowed into the market without rigorous safety testing.
- The global push for alternative proteins like insect and lab-grown meat may be more about control over the food supply than sustainability or environmental benefits.
(Natural News)—In a world where the global elite increasingly dictate what people eat, the latest move by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to introduce insect protein into the food supply is raising alarm bells.
What began as a seemingly noble effort to combat malnutrition in famine-stricken regions has morphed into a full-scale assault on traditional food systems, with the U.S. military serving as the testing ground for this insidious agenda. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s (BMGF) 2012 funding of the All Things Bugs initiative marked the beginning of this troubling trend.
More than 10 years on, the initiative has since expanded into the realm of genetically modified insects. With support from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), All Things Bugs is now using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing to create insects as a “new bioresource.” This raises serious questions about the long-term safety and ethics of such experiments.
The involvement of the U.S. military in this agenda is particularly concerning. DARPA, a research arm of the Department of Defense (DoD), is a key partner in the development of genetically modified insects. This suggests that the military is being used as a testing ground for these experimental foods, with the ultimate goal of normalizing insect consumption among the broader population.
The BMGF’s investments in alternative proteins extend beyond insects. In 2022, it awarded $4.76 million to Nature’s Fynd, a startup developing fungi-based proteins. The foundation has also invested in Savor, a company producing butter from air and water. While these ventures are marketed as steps toward a more “sustainable food system,” critics argue that they are part of a broader agenda to control the global food supply and reduce traditional meat consumption.
Crickets and grasshoppers are already making their way into the American diet in the form of protein bars, shakes and even restaurant menus. They are also being promoted as sustainable options for pet food and animal feed. Yet, labeling and transparency are conspicuously absent from this push.
The Food and Drug Administration has allowed insect-based foods to bypass rigorous safety testing by classifying them as “Generally Regarded As Safe.” This regulatory loophole enables manufacturers to flood the market with untested products, leaving consumers in the dark about potential health risks.
Door to Freedom Founder Dr. Meryl Nass has been vocal about the lack of oversight. She told the Defender: “How long will it take before we learn whether these foods are safe? It could take generations.”
GMWatch Managing Editor Claire Robinson also emphasized the need for caution, calling for insect proteins to be “subjected to a pre-marketing risk assessment for health and the environment.” She continued: “This includes testing them for the presence of pathogens, possible allergens, and substances that may be toxic to humans. Then they must be clearly labeled for the consumer.”
Defense Department promoting “alternative proteins”
Meanwhile, the U.S. government is actively supporting this movement through initiatives like the National Science Foundation’s Center for Environmental Sustainability through Insect Farming (CEIF), which focuses on using insects as feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture. But the DoD’s involvement in so-called “alternative proteins” does not end with Gates.
Last June, the Washington Free Beacon reported that a company bankrolled by the Defense Department is seeking proposals to develop lab-grown meat for military rations. BioMADE, a public-private company funded by the DoD, argues that the use of lab-grown proteins will reduce the department’s carbon footprint.
Critics begged to differ, arguing that U.S. troops should not be used as test subjects for experimental food products. “Our soldiers should never be used as guinea pigs,” said Jack Hubbard, executive director of the Center for the Environment and Welfare.
The push for alternative proteins is often justified as a response to climate change, but recent studies suggest that lab-grown meat may have a higher carbon footprint than traditional beef. According to a University of California, Davis study, lab-grown meat manufactured using “the ‘pharma’ approach” is “going to be worse for the environment and more expensive than conventional beef production.”
The globalist agenda to replace traditional food sources with insects and lab-grown alternatives is not just about sustainability – it’s about control. Gates and his fellow globalists are playing a dangerous game with the food supply. By normalizing the consumption of genetically modified insects and experimental proteins, the elite are reshaping the food supply without the consent or understanding of the public.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
