true but I think the-powers-that-be are trying to promote crickets as mainstream human food because crickets are less expensive and more effortlessly bio-available than beans are.
But don’t get me wrong, I’m totally on team “Crickets-Yuck!”
what do you mean by “the-powers-that-be”? That sound like there would be a global conspiracy to push for insect based food in the west. It is mearely an adaptation of what is perfectly normal in other cultures and definetely more sustainable and healthier, than beef or pork.
Is this cricket thing only happening at one grocery store? Or at only one restaurant?
No, it’s happening all over the world. Therefore it’s a global conspiracy.
Don’t let the word “conspiracy” make you think it’s not a real phenomenon.
Conspiracy https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/conspiracy
- An agreement or arrangement between multiple parties to do something harmful, immoral or subversive; an instance of collusion.
- (law) An agreement between two or more persons to break the law at some time in the future.
- loosely) A secret agreement to do something.
speaking of some mysterious power in the background is indicating a collusion, some sort of secret agreements and always with the goal to harm people.
By your logic every successful new technology was a global conspiracy. Agriculture? Conspiracy! Permanent houses instead of living on trees and in caves? Conspiracy! Water and Sanitation infrastrucutre? Conspiracy!
It is just normal evolution that successful technologies establish and it is normal in a market environment that different actors see a potentially successful new technology and try to get in the market for it.
