Dude, eating crickets, and not powdered crickets, but whole crickets, crunchy, carapace and all, is totally normal in many many cultures. I view all the people saying this is objectively bad no differently than people get all pissy about sushi. Don't want it? Fine, that's your preference, but don't put objective value judgements on things that aren't objective at all.

Lol what the duck are you on about? I'm from New Mexico, been eating chocolate crickets since I was a kiddo... I left reddit so I didn't have to put /s after every statement I made... Go home before you go extinct like your namesake

Sorry, but lemmy definitely still needs /s tags. Look at all the people in this thread that are non sarcastically talking about how disgusting this is and how people should just eat X instead.
