"Eat the Bugs" has become a far-right/anti-woke catchphrase. This video is typical:

Lol what did I just watch?

From a quick search it appears eating of bugs specifically refers to the WEF push:

don’t know about the catch phrase or how it’s “anti-woke” but interesting

"Eat the bugs", "Woke", "Socialist" can all be used in a positive way it's just that they are also often used by the US right wing in a negative way. You'll understand that when Alex Jones is calling a democrat "woke" he is using it in implying being woke is a bad thing. "Eat the bugs" is similar and is more common in the anti globalist conspiracist circles.
