  1. I’ve eatened chapulines(grasshoppers) in Mexico. Particularly popular in Oaxaca. Come in various sizes and flavours-chille, lime, etc. They are roasted and flavoured. Tasty but not what I would want to snack on regularly.

    1. They’re okay when crispy with peanuts and lime wedges on the side. Kinda unpalatable when soggy.

  2. I cannot imagine the epic cramps and bowel movements one would have if they had to regularly attempt to digest significant amounts of chitin.

  3. I worked with a guy a decade ago, who raised his crickets at home in plastic storage containers, and would dry them out and put them in his smoothies each day, saying this was how he ate his high doses of protein necessary while he was on his weights lifting regime. He wasn’t a small guy at all. Apparently the picture of health prior to this.
    This went on for at least 3 years, and continued even while he would eat his lunch at site while semi laying down as he’d say it helped relax his throat so he could successfully swallow.

    We told him he should have a medical Dr. have a look at what’s going on in there, he eventually did, then phoned the site supervisor to tell him he had less than 3 months to live, that his throat was not going to recover. I thought he had a form of cancer in there which had become inoperable. And he did die exactly when the Dr. had said he would, 3 months prior.

    Not saying crickets did this, but I’m comfortable watching the others experiment on this, while I say “no thanks I’ve already eaten”.
    Also, Dr. Naomi Wolf said this am on Charlie Kirk’s show, she thinks now that Pfizer’s own experiments show that seminal fluid from vaxed men does pass a variety of things into the recipient.

    I’m good with that, but “good luck” to the next generation…

    My unvaxed semen may now be trading at above $4000 per load. Inflation is real.

    1. Is this the same “Dr.” Naomi Wolf that years ago was a strident feminazi that wrote books telling women to be total sluts and to spend all their time whoring around and never commit to a man ??
      Is this the “Dr.” Naomi Wolf that you are referring to?

      1. Indeed, Mr.Greg. Naomi left the plantation some months back. I saw her on Steve Bannon’s War Room. If you go to that site and do a search on ‘Naomi’ you get a slew of her stuff.

        This tip about certainly-not-Monkeypox seminal fluid getting splashed around is rather interesting. It would agree with another source I heard.

        Wonderful thing about the comments on this blog, you get good tips to track down.

        1. “Naomi left the plantation some months back. ”
          She started appearing on Infowars with Alex Jones something like 15 years ago.
          Nonetheless, she is still a strident feminazi.

      2. “Dr. Naomi Wolf said this am on Charlie Kirk’s show, she thinks now that Pfizer’s own experiments show that seminal fluid from vaxed men does pass a variety of things into the recipient.”

        “Dr. Naomi Wolf said this am on Charlie Kirk’s show, she thinks that seminal fluid from vaxed men does pass a variety of things into the recipient.”

        See the difference?
        She’s as much a Dr. as Dr. Jill Biden, which is why I pointed to her point, and not to Dr. Naomi Wolf said …

        I am somewhat pleased that you have no problem with me charging +$4k for a load of unvaxed seminal fluid.

  4. I wonder what the guv plans on doing with people with shellfish allergies. My wife won’t be able to eat this stuff without having an EpiPen handy.

    1. Chitin ( the exoskeleton ) is a poison to some people who can’t digest it, causes inflammation in the body.

  5. I’m thinking you can beat a good home-fried shit-fly for good solid flavor.
    I mean a pan full and a dry white! Heyyyyy now.

  6. Sooo… what exactly do crickets eat to get big and fat. Can’t fence them in to graze on marginal land. Is it high quality food crops like wheat and corn that’s removed from the food market driving up the cost of food just like corn based ethanol did.

  7. lets see now, I’v been through Beijing, Shanghai , and visited a village of 15 million, and saw NO face diapers, butt here in Terana, seen lots of them. As to communism, we have NDPee like a disease!

    1. Yeah, I quickly debunked the “Asians wore masks pre-COVID” by posting pics and shots of baseball games, subways, etc. Sometimes a few masks on the subways, but rare, and most importantly NOT MANDATED.

      And, of course, the “doctors wear masks” crap also falls apart the same way, easy to show. Even surgeons (who do wear masks…to protect the patients from bacteria and germs and protect THEM from the patient “splatters”…rip them off as soon as the patient is wheeled out.

      Oh, and according to the latest data, Japan (you know, the island)…has a ‘ro death rate almost twice Canada’s. Australia’s and New Zealand’s is almost three times.

      Averages…how do they work?

  8. You WILL be eating bugs, you just won’t know it. They’ll slip it into your food without telling you, hoping you won’t notice.

    So check the ingredients on EVERYTHING you buy from here on out. They’re going to start with cricket powder, except that they won’t call it that. They’ll use some euphemism like “grillon,” (French for “cricket”)

    1. The key word is ” sustainability “.
      Look for it on the packaging, check the the ingredient list also.

  9. Where’s PETA with its “a bug is a boy is a cow” crap?

    Oh yeah…same reason why they go after the old women wearing furs, not the bikers wearing leather.

  10. Justin Trudeau future tweet:

    “I wish to advise that I’ve been diagnosed with Monkey Pox. As Sophie is my beard, there’s no chance of this having been passed on to her.”

  11. FYI : a study of edible insects and dangers to human health in 2019

    “in 106 (35.33%) cases, parasites were potentially parasitic for animals; and in 91 (30.33%) cases, parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans. Edible insects are an underestimated reservoir of human and animal parasites. Our research indicates the important role of these insects in the epidemiology of parasites pathogenic to vertebrates. ”

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6613697/

    The researchers hope that enclosed insect farms with frequent inspections will solve the problem.

      1. Marc in Calgary: You’ll be seeing crickets being lassoed at the stampede within three years. Not to mention chuck wagons hauled by teams of beetles. And of course, the grasshopper bull riding contest.

  12. Eat what ever you like, but if you force others to eat something, trick others to eat something or disallow others from eating something that yesterday was just fine to consume, then be assured there will probably be expensive reprisals.

  13. Increases in Asian meat imports suggest that when Asians can afford real meat, that’s what they want to eat.

  14. I repeat: I WILL NOT COMPLY.

    And if you try to force me, I will consider it assault, and react accordingly. You’ve been warned.
