Bon Appetite

Bugs to flour plants to wheat you eat your bugs I will eat wheat flour you watch the crickets I will watch wind blow sheaves You spend millions on a bug factory but cannot spend it on health care satisfactory You can have your crickets while I enjoy my big steak treat Bon appetite hope you don't heave with vomit at your feet.

Oh, didn't they ask the people? Or maybe it's for sale to a forighn market. But then again John the Baptist ate Locust.

Our country is making a big bug factory to grow crickets and bugs to put into food. I know some countries do eat bugs but so help me the thought is not good. Thanks. love phyl
