One hopper cake for me and the boy and we can be terrorists all day long.
Bill Gates can go fuck himself with his maggot burgers.
- Rides a Horse he Stole - Ute Indian
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
As a child I fell in love with Robert Preston, not from that silly Music Man, but when he starred in his last real feature in a CBS made series about a family going west in a cover wagon. It is a lovely series which was done well, so well, it never lasted a season on CBS.
When I watch things, I'm not like you. I catalogue information, not how much women's nipples are showing through but like Preston's so scarfing down some Ute Indian delicacy and upon being told it was berries, mixed with grasshoppers, he spit it out.
Chapter 12 - Ute Culture
No I am am not a bug eater. I read recently that the Bible told us not to eat bugs, except locusts, grasshoppers and crickets, and the reason is most bugs have sharp spines that will chew up your guts or they all are bottom feeders like carp. That means you eat that stuff you get a concentrated dose in nature of heavy metals, chemical poisons and toxins. There is a reason that chickens will not eat maggots and only a few birds prey on flies.
So when you are told to eat grubs and this other worm shit, you are getting a first phase concentration of something in nature which you living 70 years is going to get you into disease. A bird which eats this stuff will live around 5 years so the effects will not take hold and as you will eat the bird meat....your a safe as bird are picking greens and seeds which are not harmful.
So grasshoppers eat plants. Not concentrated toxins in them in the greenery so God says they are safe as a protein source. I know the plains Indians had surrounds where they would in a group make a circle, after digging a pit, then flush with hides and sticks the locusts and hoppers into the pit, trap them and catch them. I guess roasting them was kosher and then you could grind them up into hopper flour.
Here is a quote in the book, but always be careful in these Indian apologists as they are brain warped and get shit half assed wrong.
In the summer and fall, their diet was filled with meat, berries, roots, and flat bread made from ground wild grass seeds. Buffalo meat was particularly important during this time, and roasted beaver tail was considered a delicacy. Berries included chokecherry, wild raspberry, gooseberry, and buffalo berry. Because of the scarcity of food during the winter, Utes prepared by storing part of the food available during warmer months. This was done in several ways. The first was by cutting buffalo meat into strips that could dry in the sun. They also caught fish in willow baskets and dried them. Setting berries out to dry help provide them with important nutrients such as vitamin C. Another common food was made by mixing cricket, grasshopper, and cicada meat with berries to form fruit cakes. These cakes were either stored for winter or used for food by travelling Utes. In the spring, Utes would eat the first tender shoots of grass, dig for root vegetables such as carrots and sego lilies, collect duck eggs, and find wild potatoes and onions in the mountain snow-melt runoff. These were combined in various ways to create soups.
The Utes were hunter-gatherers, and moved from place to place frequently as they gathered food for their families. Ute men hunted deer, elk, buffalo, and small game. Ute women gathered roots, pine nuts, seeds and fruits. Ute Indians also used to enjoy eating grasshoppers and other insects.
The Missouri River Indians would grind up sunflower seeds, shells and all as an energy traveling food. Just be aware which weed seeds are edible and not poison.
In knowing this, and using a flyswatter to swat hoppers to feed my chicks and not me, I invested in a minnow seine. Yes Nancy, I can use a minnow seine to catch grasshoppers too like the Indians did, and there are not going to be any people around with minnow seines so........that is my food supply not yours.
I studied the Mound Builders who I think were Viking cross, but they had a hard go of it. I watched their eating habits and they were eating anything that moved like minnows. Again that is my seine and I'm prepared and you are not, especially hard up for the people with money who did not donate as you will pay in not having even bugs to eat.
That is your prep lesson. I have told you to get live traps to catch animals, gill nets, and yes minnow seines. I have no intention of eating grasshoppers, but just understand until people die off, they are going to be running all the meat game off, and there is not going to be anything left to eat after the canned goods go radioactive. I have my tools to survive. The smart person who prepares would have them too.
