I looked up cricket flour and it's not cheap, also some complaints that it's not real flour like for baking

Yeah, I was curious to see the comments because I think OP was expecting something similar to facebook or reddit. But I feel like most people here recognize this for the lame rage bait that it is. Only idiot Fox News watching conservatives freak out about this shit.

They are really expensive because no one is buying them but people who have time and money to spend on changing their habits.
BUT! They are actually pretty cheap to raise yourself. Crickets can eat leftovers and parts of vegetable you sometimes don't want to eat like potato peels. We used to do that to feed our lizards and spiders at home. I guess that preparing them for human consumption would be a bit longer (drying and grinding them, or whatever), but still much cheaper than store-bought meat.

Oh god that sounds disgusting! How can you eat that? I don't think I could even get to the point of swallowing, let alone chewing it up. I feel a little nauseous just thinking about it. Cilantro?!

Wish there was a place to try this in the US.

My nephews lived in Mexico for a few years and they still miss them.

I think the study didn't say what you think it does. The solid filtrate diet worked according to the summary, and doesn't conflict with feed for chickens. There are vegan and vegetarian options of course, but saying they aren't economic isn't true.

I'd eat bugs well before I tried to eat another human, billionaire or not.

But if you gave me a flyswatter to kill a random bug or a gun to kill a random CEO, and I HAD to choose one or the other... the bug would probably make it out alive.

It's just crispy when cooked properly. Do you like chips? French fries? Crispy pork? You'll be at home!

A friend of mine in Zambia taught me how to fry caterpillars. They are like squishy french fries. They are fine. They pair well with chibuku.

I had dried cricket when my aunt hosted this insane trivia game as one of the “rewards” for guessing incorrectly, it actually wasn’t that bad, didn’t really taste like anything, just a standard salty burnt taste or a weird potato chip

Not something I’m gonna go out and find to eat but it wasn’t bad

For anyone wondering, this is called "Manufacturing Consent".
