It's not just buying into the "save the planet" BS, but I had no idea they were so into perversion! Aldi is world-wide, not just in the UK. I'm seeing boycotts in their future!
Major UK Grocery Store Chain Begins Replacing Meat with Insect-Based ‘Foods’

The UK’s most popular supermarket chain Aldi has started rolling out new insect-based “foods” as alternatives to meat.
The discount grocery store chain Aldi is planning to sell edible insect recipe kits for families who are struggling to buy real meat.
The company says the move will help consumers meet the daily protein needs of families amid soaring food prices.
In recent years, globalists such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) and Bill Gates have been promoting bugs such as crickets as a cheap and sustainable form of protein.
Aldi is currently investigating which insect-based products it could stock as a replacement for meat.
The company is planning to stock products by Yum Bug, which manufactures insect recipe kits.
Yum Bug founders Aaron Thomas and Leo Taylor have just established their first bug restaurant.
In 2022, the pair was incidentally picked from hundreds of applicants to appear on Channel 4’s “Aldi’s Next Big Thing.”
Thomas, from Islington, London, said:
“We’re on a mission to change perceptions of insects as food; they’re one of the most sustainable protein sources in the world.”
He added that crickets are up to 70 percent protein, which is three times the amount of protein found in beef.
Thomas also argues that crickets have more iron than spinach, more calcium than milk, and three times more fatty acids than omega-3 in salmon.
Some reports have even branded the insects a “superfood.”
“They are an incredible superfood,” Thomas claims.
“We want to take bug consumption mainstream.
“If we’re able to get in front of Aldi’s audience, that would be an amazing opportunity.”
Meanwhile, Taylor revealed that Thomas and himself have been eating bugs “for years.”

Rather appropriately, he said they started making their first insect-based recipes in Taylor’s parent’s garage.
“Aaron and I have been cooking with insects for years,” Taylor said.
“It started in 2017 with weekends experimenting out of my parent’s garage, cooking up all sorts of recipes and posting content online,” he recounted.
“We then sold our first insect recipe boxes out of our bedrooms in lockdown, and that’s really where everything snowballed.”
This comes as the WEF and Gates have been advancing the replacement of cattle beef with lab-grown fake “meat” or insects for protein.
Last year, Gates’s fake meat company won federal approval from Democrat President Joe Biden’s United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to sell products for consumption by the American public, as Slay News reported at the time.
The approval marked a significant milestone for the lab-grown meat industry.
This approval was a signal of federal support for the sector.
The WEF insists that fake meat and insects will play a key role in meeting the increasing protein demands of a growing global population.
More recently, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos joined Gates in supporting the fake meat industry.
The huge investments from Bezos and Gates underscore the potential that high-profile investors see in this alternative protein source.
Their involvement highlights the industry’s promise to address environmental concerns associated with traditional meat production.
This was recently noted in a report on the rise of 3D-printed steaks and their relevance to investors focused on woke environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
Before it advocated eating bugs, Aldi had long been advancing globalism and woke ideologies.
In 2022, the company published a series of internal guidelines on how to support gender-confused co-workers who are “transitioning.”
Aldi said the guidelines were part of its “Embrace” Diversity and Inclusion strategy.
The strategy aims to create a more inclusive workplace, according to Aldi.
Aldi United Kingdom Diversity and Inclusion Director Richard Shuttleworth said:
“We want to ensure that Aldi is a diverse, inclusive, and supportive place to work for everyone.”
After publishing the guides in 2022, Shuttleworth added:
“We believe colleagues should feel confident to bring their truest selves to work and hope the launch of these guides will help anyone who has transitioned, is going through a transition, or considering it, to feel safe and supported in doing just that.”
The guides offer advice to managers on how to deal with transgender workers and share tips with co-workers on how to help their colleagues easily return to the working fold.
The company claims that the guidelines were created with the input of workers.
A store assistant, Kimberly Taylor, said:
“I’ve worked at Aldi for over three years and during that time have started to transition.
“Throughout this experience my team has been so supportive of me, helping me to feel confident and accepted every step of the way.”
She said that the guides show that Aldi is committed to the wellbeing of its transgender staff.
