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.

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
