https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6613697/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6613697/ A parasitological evaluation of edible insects and their role in the transmission of parasitic diseases to humans and animals The prevalence of parasitic species was determined for every insect species. Parasitic developmental forms were detected in 244 (81.33%) out of 300 (100%) examined insect farms. ....and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans. During the research in individual farms, we observed unethical practices of individual breeders, such as feeding insects with animal feces from a pet shop, feeding insects with corpses of smaller animals, or feeding insects with moldy food and even raw meat. In our study, Cryptosporidium spp. were detected in the digestive tract and other body parts of all evaluated insect species. In our opinion, insects are an underestimated vector of Cryptosporidium spp., and they significantly contribute to the spread of these parasites. ---> I'm sure it will be fine, just fine. The wealthy elites around the world will be eating their steaks, fine meats and aged wines, while we the plebes, thanks to the 2030 WEF agenda will own nothing, eat insects burgers that will give us parasites and disease and drink our recycled urine. Happy days.

I'm sure there will be a list of approved behaviors that will "stop the spread" of the parasites and give us a new way of looking down on people who don't comply. Seriously though, I hope the debate doesn't devolve into some silly thing about whether insects harbor parasites or not. I'm sure a parallel case could be made for animals, and I don't think we should care. Making or pushing people eat insects (if that ever actually happens, I wouldn't rule it out after recent events) is wrong in it's own right, and doesn't need some silly disease based reason why it's bad. Let's focus on that (that it's wrong), and not stoop to the level of debating whether bugs are just as safe and healthy as meat.
