Michigan pediatrician weighs in, noting benefits but advising caution regarding insects on the menu
One Canadian mom is touting the benefits of consuming bugs. She's even raising her baby on a diet that includes crickets.
"I'm a food writer and will try anything at least once, including eating bugs," freelance writer Tiffany Leigh wrote recently.
"I started adding insects to our meals to cut down our grocery bill," she also wrote for Insider, adding, "Crickets are a cheaper alternative to meat, and my 18-month-old couldn't tell the difference." In emailed comments to Fox News Digital, Leigh said that "surprisingly," it wasn’t hard to "feed my baby crickets."

Child abuse from a insane parent................
Honestly, ain’t much difference between ‘em. That’s why I don’t have much appetite for shellfish myself. They’re just maritime cousins of the cockroaches.
Not too thrilled about being named ‘Renfield’, either.
That’s a very pretty baby...
Except with crayfish at least you peel off the exoskeleton.......grasshoppers......your eatin’ it.
Mommy Eats Pills
no mention of the mother living on bugs
Just a little extra fiber.
I thought turkey is cheaper than chicken? What about mutton?
Cheaper, definitely.
When are these IDIOTS who parrot “whatever (non-Western) foreign countries do” going to realize it is not because it’s healthy, but because they are DIRT POOR?
Just like the “family bed” garbage with raising kids. The Chinese and Indonesians do it because they can’t afford separate beds! (Hell, many of our poorest ancestors here in the colonial era did it too!)
Heh, that was what I was thinking. The person with the camera is probably holiding up a cricket.
Child welfare services needs to pay the mom a serious visit and see what else she’s doing or not doing. And, as others mentioned, more meat for the rest of us.
The baby’s name is Renfield?
Willing to bet this child abuser dies not have the child’s father around, as a man would step in to protect his child from this horror.
That ism my thought as well.
I notice she doesn’t say she eats them herself. Seems that she only inflicts them on a baby who doesn’t know any better.
I don't think even Japanese A5 beef is priced that high.
Yes, that's exactly the rule I've observed.
For those of us who work, make a living, buy a home, drive a car, feed the family, go to school events, take vacations, attend church, heat and cool our homes, enjoy our neighbors and neighborhoods -- it all works perfectly well. Everything is in harmony and works because of a few thousand years of civilization building and everybody following the rules, especially the Ten Commandments and the US Constitution.
But leftists hate all that NORMALCY and want to destroy it.
It's weird...when I drive about town doing my business, everything appears to still be normal. The rains still come, the flowers bloom, the lawn has come to life, the sun is shining, people say "hi" to each other.
But when you spend time on the Internet, civilization appears to be collapsing at an accelerated rate all around us.
When I was a child, if you bragged about feeding your kid bugs, the state would take the child away from you.
Looks like an unhappy child
Just feed the baby mud then you don’t have to pay for expensive vitamins
