It stands for B’Siyata DiShmaya. Which is Aramaic for, with the help of Heaven (G-d.)

We’re Christian, but my wife studies Hebrew. I asked her what BS”D means. We had to look it up. Pretty cool, learned something new today, I like it,

Yes, and when all that insect matter being consumed by humans results in new diseases and a wave of "death from unknown causes", they will blame the usual suspect. Climate Change.

I don't think they will blame climate change. I think they will blame the unvaccinated.

Chances are you're right 😆

Thank-you very much for this information. I will pass it on.

Are any Rabbis aware of this? I'm sure that bug flour is being put into foods without anyone's knowledge, rendering it non-kosher.

(Certainly, all the harmful effects mentioned here are included along with the deeper spiritual reasons for the Torah's prohibition of this disgusting practice.)

When a food has rabbinic supervision and certified kosher, they examine every ingredient and the equipment used to manufacture it. I don't believe bug flour is a kosher ingredient. If rabbis start saying it's kosher, that will be a sad day.

I would also love to believe that, but since they are trying to do this behind everyone's back, this will be an ingredient inside of an ingredient inside of an ingredient and not all the mashgichim are omniscient. Just a few weeks ago, a restaurant in America with a hechsher was caught using chickens from non-Jews. These kinds of things happen all the time, and this makes it just that much more difficult.
