🚫 No Bugs. No Insects. No Exceptions:

I demand a zero-tolerance stance against the use of insects, bugs, and all insect-derived substances in food, supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

- **Insects are living beings**. Whether crushed, powdered, or processed—they were once alive. Ethical clarity demands we do not commodify life.

- **No loopholes**: Carmine (crushed beetles), shellac (insect resin), insect protein, and “natural flavors” sourced from bugs are all violations of coalition-safe standards.

- **No confusion, no compromise**: Coalition procurement must be free from ambiguity. Insect derivatives are biologically unsafe, ethically indefensible, and incompatible with vegan justice.

- **No desensitization**: Normalizing insect consumption erodes moral clarity. It teaches that some lives are expendable. We reject that.

I call for immediate removal of all insect-based products from public supply chains, pharmacy counters, and food systems. Coalition-safe protocols must be enforced with zero tolerance.
