You WILL Eat the Bugs: Major Brands Quietly Slipping Insects Into Your Food: Major companies are quietly adding insects to their food products, implementing a goal established by the World Economic Forum that seeks to have humans eat bugs as one of its purported keys to a sustainable planet. On Sunday, carnivore diet guru Dr. Shawn Baker tweeted a photo of a bag of cheddar cheese puffs, only instead of being made of corn meal, these snack foods were chock-full of insect protein. The snack item from Canadian brand Actually Foods states the puffs are “powered by crickets” to the tune of 10 grams of protein per serving. The ingredients label on the back of the bag indicates “organic cricket flour” was used in the puffs’ production, and an allergy warning on the back of the bag also cautions, “People who are allergic to shellfish may also be allergic to crickets.” Further investigation into Actually Foods’ parent company Entomo Farms shows it’s on a mission “to make cricket-based foods the first choice for individuals interested in high-quality, sustainable protein,” and they actually produce whole roasted crickets in a variety of flavors, in addition to cricket protein powder. The cricket-containing snacks are just some of a slew of new products that showcase insects as their protein source, with many quietly relegating their special cricket blends to small font or the ingredients label. The WEF says it wants meat consumption to be “an occasional treat” only to be eaten on special occasions. Gross … my down fall are the Wise Cheeze Doodles. If I walk down that aisle, its so hard to pass them up. But lately I have because they are not on sale and now I’m going to take the time to read the labels. So curious if they did the nasty switcheroo game. 🥴 So, what is everyone here thinking to do with the "eat bugs" push? What parasites do crickets carry?

These insects carry parasites...
Horsehair worms are internal parasites of crickets and other insects like grasshoppers, cockroaches and beetles. Horsehair worms are active and often observed during late summer or fall months. People sometimes find them after stepping on a cricket.
