Mohammad is selling
1) You're eating bugs. We're past that point in our evolution.
2) A raghead is trying to sell them to you.
Folks lining up to buy this?
((crickets))
uh-oh. I see PETA starting a new branch....”PETI” (People for the Ethical Treatment of Insects). :)
When I was a teen I got a job at Hudson’s, a fancy department store. I worked at the candy counter. We had a section in our display that featured chocolate-covered crickets. The entire time I worked there we did not sell one box.
For those who don’t know, central Texas gets a major cricket infestation every year, typically around early September. It’s so bad, you literally crunch as you walk over dead crickets. They give the mob of grackles something to do.
So this guy is selling a pest and robbing the natural predator of the pests of their source of nutrition.
However, if Mohammed needs a logo, why not a cartoon cricket with Buddy Holly glasses on the label? Yeah, well, that’ll be the day.
All the Proles are eating them.
“And when there was no meat, we ate fowl. And when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad. And when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.”
“You ate what?”
“We ate sand.”
“You ate SAND?”
“That’s right.”
Enjoy your Nancy Boy crickets, liberals!
“Instead of crickets, I’d settle for a fresh head of cauliflower or a can of pork ‘n beans which our HEB hasn’t sold in decades. The HEB here shelves are as empty as a turd world country and what they do have stocked is dented and what other stores refuse to accept.”
Which HEB do you go to?
Seems to me that creepy, jumping insects are "non-edible" by definition, not edible.
Edible?! What makes this insect edible? You wash it? Fry it? Cover it in chocolate? Dip in into ranch sauce? Prepare it somehow to mask both the looks and the taste of it? So you don't eat them raw like sushi, right?
Just askin'. 'Cause it seems like a really distasteful idea. :-)
AOC GND diet coming to a grocery store near you after the national cow slaughter. Wonder if crickets fart?
“EXO Protein”
As in EXOskeleton?
No thank you. Flossing to remove cricket legs from between my teeth just doesn’t sound very appetizing.
I know insects are supposed to be a protein-rich source of food, but they’re bugs. I doubt I’m going to get past the cultural habits of a lifetime to deliberately start eating bugs (even though all of us inadvertently eat about 2 pounds of insects per year, in vegetables, coffee, etc.)
"...???...eeeeyark"
I got drunk at a sushi bar once and ate a cricket soaked in plum sauce. It was a one time deal.
1) Sushi is still “revolting”, IMO. I don’t eat bait.
2) And I don’t eat *anything* a filthy raghead is selling.
Maybe if I were starving...
“”Mohammad Ashour,””
I’m sure going to trust someone with that name having a degree in nutrition.
Crickets are amazing in that when you feed them protein, you end up with a net protein GAIN from what you invested. One of few living beings with which this is true.
I don’t know how the HEB crickets are prepared, but I might try them. I had crickets in China a few years back, 1/2” long crickets deep-fried and dusted with confectioners sugar, and they tasted pretty good.
