"Powered by Crickets" is one way to put it. 10% seems low though.

Ah fuck I love those too! Devastating betrayal of your palette lol

Had a friend in school eat a ladybug as a dare and he said it tasted awful, he would regularly eat crickets and ants no problem.

Fear Factor traumatized me and I'm sure many others with those big bastards. Do they bring them out and try to get everyone to hold them while laughing at all the reactions?

Yeah I've seen candy with bugs in them since the early 90s. Farmer mart type places usually have fried or chocolate covered in some form too.

If it's marketed towards kids as healthy snacks and the taste is great I could see it creeping into households, or schools, very fast.

I've eaten spicy fried crickets and they taste just like the seasoning and are crunchy like anything fried would be.

America as a whole just needs to be sold(marketed) on the idea before it's widely accepted. Definitely won't be long once companies try to make money off of it.

Haha that is true, lobster wasn't always seen as a fancy meal either. Wonder how long till we see hissing cockroaches as the delicacy they are.

I don't care one way or another. Most Americans will not be on board at first is all. Yes everyone eats all kinds of stuff where they have no idea what ingredients actually are.

I can only see this working in the US market if it has a name completely separated from bugs and is in the form of a powdered protein or snuck into existing foods. The minute someone finds a cricket leg in their food it's all over the news.
