YUCK!! Would you eat free crickets?

At the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Nicolas Rimoldi, an anti-WEF activist pushing back against globalist overreach, is offering free bugs for attendees to snack on.

Rimoldi brought along a man dressed as a cricket to offer passersby the so-called "alternative protein source" promoted by the WEF’s sustainability agenda.

“These elites don’t even understand why people are protesting,” Rimoldi told Rebel News, highlighting their ignorance on the harm their policies create. His demonstration appeared to mock the Forum's push for insect consumption, a stark symbol of their disconnect from everyday people.

“Insects are a credible and efficient alternative protein source requiring fewer resources than conventional breeding,” reads a WEF blog on the matter. Cricket food production uses about one-eighth of the water and generates one-third of the carbon emissions of a cattle farm.

The Forum supports a shift towards the sustainable farming of insects “for food and animal feed” as a means of combating 'climate change'. According to a Research and Markets report, the edible insect market will reach $3.5 billion by 2029 and grow 28.6% annually between 2022 to 2029.

The streets of Davos may be flooded with global elites, but voices like Rimoldi’s prove the resistance to this overreach is real and growing. Rebel News is here to amplify those voices and hold the powerful to account.

    What a great way to expose the WEF! I’m glad this man is handing out free crickets and pamphlets showing the horrible WEF ideas for what they truly are. Like the man said, these elitists don’t realize how bad and stupid their ideas are. To them, our proletarian concerns are because we’re too stupid to understand such lofty ideals as saving the planet. But we must save our world from such snooty people and their retrograde notions.
