Entomo Farms, a company based in Canada, is selling junk food made from crickets in stores across the country under their “Actually Foods” brand.

“Actually Foods is on a mission to renew Canadians’ relationship with “healthy” food,” copy on the company’s website reads.

“We’ve ditched so-called “natural” ingredients that are actually not as clean as they claim. Instead, we’re making something you can feel good about, using unexpected ingredients that, although surprising, actually boast the health benefits you’re looking for: like high-protein cricket powders, fava beans, and more.”

Included in Actually Foods’ Cheddar Jalapeno Puffs are the following ingredients: Puff (Organic Corn Meal Flour, Lentil Flour, Fava Bean Flour, Rice Flour, Organic Cricket Flour), Seasoning (Buttermilk Powder, Modified Milk Ingredients, Salt, Dehydrated Vegetables (Jalapeno, Onion, Garlic, Green Bell Pepper), Yeast Extract, Natural Cheddar Cheese Flavoured Powder, Herbs, Spices, Citric Acid), Sunflower Oil.

They taste like Fritos corn chips. I have eaten them in scrambled eggs in Mexico.

I’d try a roasted cricket.
But not if the government forces me to.

Wanna make a fortune? Wanna make Musk’s fortune look like pocket change?”

In this meat eschewing grain hating vegetable squashing insect eating cuisine culture, one food stands above the rest.

Like entrepreneurs of the past who found a way to turn worthless hake into surimi and make their fortunes, you to can have a go with this otherwise worthless pest.

Find a way to build a battery powered 500 foot catcher-processor and harvest the enormous biomass of sea lice which you turn into food onboard, flash freeze, package, palatalize, and wrap, ready for the hungry masses of ravenous insect eaters. Then, having proven you worth as an entrepreneur, build a an enormous fleet to sail the seas, a fleet so huge the Chinese fleet will look like boats in a bath tub. Go Go GO!!!!

My cats get worms from eating crickets. I don’t care how sanitary the processed cricket garbage is, not eating it.
