Why would you eat that shit in the first place

Was gonna say, I'd be much more concerned about some of the other ingredients than the bugs.

I gave my grandkids a bag of dried cooked crickets to eat a few years ago. Just for the novelty. I've kind of learned some things since then.

Is there a kosher symbol on the packaging?

No.

The blue ribbon on the front says the protein is from crickets too.

This might be the one time the kosher symbol is actually useful for something, as long as bugs remain unkosher.

This is how it's going to be. Majority of people won't go out to buy bags of bugs to eat them, just like majority of people today aren't going out to buy bags of soy and tofu.

But do people realize that 90% of processed foods and baked goods have soy in them? Of course they don't. Normies don't even known there is an ingredients label on the back of the product.

"This bread looks more like a real bread than other breads, so that probably means it doesn't have soy and bugs in it. Take that Globalist 1%er White billionaire fascists!"

I'm amazed at the number of people, men usually, who simply refuse to read.

Gag me with a spoon ... literally.

I thought this might be some sort of industry term for flour from a certain kind or mix of grains... But nope, they mean actual crickets, ground up into flour.

It's illegal to use slang or "industry" terms in ingredient labels. Someone has to be able to know, for a fact, if they're allergic to something or not.

Not exactly. They can be used as long as they're "common or usual". 21CFR101.4 I can't think of a good example, but if the term is in common use it's legal to use even if it does not literally describe the ingredient. I'm thinking something like red wheat, even if it's not really red. Or "cherrystone".

Any vegetarian who has ever eaten a multitude of products or used red cosmetics like lipstick with red coloring were eating insects already. So almost no vegetarian is actually one.

I'm pretty sure vegetarians don't include insects into their morally apprehensible food list. Vegans might but I don't think either groups had any idea bugs were an option.
