What Pairs With Beetle? Startups Seek to Make Bugs Tasty

Tiziana Di Costanzo makes pizza dough from scratch, mixing together flour, yeast, a pinch of salt, a dash of olive oil and something a bit more unusual — ground acheta domesticus, better known as cricket powder.

Di Costanzo is an edible insect entrepreneur who holds cricket and mealworm cooking classes at her West London home, where she also raises the critters in a backyard shed with her husband, Tom Mohan.

Her startup, Horizon Insects, is part of Europe's nascent edible insect scene, which features dozens of bug-based businesses offering cricket chips in the Czech Republic, bug burgers in Germany and Belgian beetle beer. The European Union headquarters in Brussels is also backing research into insect-based proteins as part of a broader sustainable food strategy.

They can eatit, I don’t care.

I will stick with what my gi tract is used to dealing with.

Remember about 70% of your immune system is in your gut. That is one area you do not want to mess up, especially if its working well for you.

I remember reading in the journal of pioneer James O. Pattie, one of the first Americans to travel through the southwest to California, how his party came across a group of primitive naked savages who barely had tools and weapons and whose diet consisted mostly of some kind of grasshopper. People who learned to make tools and weapons, and hunt, and cultivate crops and livestock didn’t have to live that way.

So, no, I will not be eating insects.

My chickens. Which then produce delicious eggs that I then eat.

Why would I eat my foods food?

It would be cruel to snatch bugs from their little beaks.

FOR SHAME!

YOU MONSTERS!

You WILL eat the bugs.
You WILL drink the soy.
You WILL take the jabs.
You WILL live in pods.
You WILL own nothing.
You WILL be happy.
