TL;DR: the meat industry’s misleading messaging campaign + lobbying

    I’ve had baked crickets before, and they were okay. If I ate them more, I might get a palette for them, but I wouldn’t personally say that I liked them. But, I’d suck it up for the, you know, sake of the continuation of pleasant life on Earth.

    I like to say that I’ll try anything once. But, I’ve sort of sworn off McDonalds for the most part for a few reasons. But, if they did make this sort of jump, I might try to encourage it with my buck.

      The method I liked the best was baked with nuts and dried fruit like a trail mix. It was great in that since the texture worked great with nuts

      See I’m of the opinion that the ultra rich should give up their private jets and yachts before the rest of us are made to eat literal bugs.

      I for one will be eating the rich long before I eat any crickets.

        Well, yeah, for sure. But, unlike chemical pollution and water misuse, the food is actually something the overall population can do something about on individual levels to have an effect. A few folks eating bugs won’t do much, but millions would. Whereas with pollution, companies produce millions of persons’ worth of pollution every year, some more. A private jet produces more pollution in one trip than my entire family does in a whole year. There’s nothing I or anybody else can do to offset that.

          Don’t you think the person who owns the private jet could do something about that?

          That’s my whole point.
