Gay blood donors can only be blood donors if they haven’t had sex for longer than a decade, that’s the teeny tiny little process of equal rights for gay blood donors. However, Gay donors who claimed to have safe sex cannot be blood donors. This stands in contrast with heterosexual blood donors, who are trusted upon their saying that they did not have unsafe sex. Only if a heterosexual man paid for sex he cannot give his blood for a year.  This means that heterosexual man is trusted upon his word and a homosexual is not.

I find this ridiculous, any human being can lie about their sexual encounters and this is just public discrimination. No sane human being would lie and give unhealthy blood to donor, and if they would it probably fits both homosexual and heterosexual people. Gay rights aren’t really progressing this way, in my opinion everybody should be equal; gay, straight, black, white, Jewish or Christian! After all, everyone is a human being.

So, where can I get my magical gay blood?

Can I have the grasshopper salsa tacos please?

In 2030 the world population will be too big for the meat industry. That means that we’ll have to find a good alternative, as in, bugs! Most people won’t find this a very interesting, or tasty for that matter, alternative when eating. But according to this article in the guardian, a worm is full of proteins and less calories. Also, environmentally an insects farm would be far less destructive compared to a meat farm. A meat farm requires far more feed and  water than a mass insects farm and don’t forget the methane footprint that won’t be an issue anymore when you have insects farms.

In my opinion, it wouldn’t be such a problem to eat insects. Especially if you realize that there already are insects in our everyday food, for example, a chocolate bar consists of an average of eight insect legs! To me,  a chocolate bar doesn’t taste different after knowing this fact. I also ate a fried grasshopper once and it wasn’t so bad, kind of salty and crispy. If people can make recipes for a dinner with insects in it, I would definitely eat it…. Well, as long as I don’t have to actually see the thing sitting on my plate, just conceal it with a nice chunk of chocolate please!

Have a nice dinner!

Hello everyone!
