Your Definition
To mindlessly comply and obey government policies and suggestions (particularly regarding ecology) without critically thinking first. It originates from the phrase 'You will eat the bugs' which is used in memes and shitposts to make fun of politicians and ecologists who suggest ridiculous things like eating insects instead of meat to save the planet. Practicing this a prime example of 'eating the bugs'. It is important to note that complying with certain measures such as recycling or wearing masks during pandemics are not 'eating the bugs'. Those policies, unlike eating bugs, are actually helpful and considerate. People who 'eat the bugs' often don't realise (or don't care) that it limits their personal liberty. Such mindless compliance is perfect undergrowth for totalitarian regimes when widespread.
