    I am guessing you have a lot of Oaxacan Mexicans around your stadium. Fried crickets are big in Oaxaca. When I lived in L.A., you could buy Tacos de Chapulines from street vendors in some places.

    I’ve eaten insects. They taste fine. They’re high in protein. They’re probably the greenest possible livestock.

    A huge percentage of the world eats insects as part of their diet. It’s only in the west that we have this crazy needless taboo. People are even disgusted by cricket flour. You can’t see crickets in cricket flour. Things baked with cricket flour taste fine. And are higher in protein.
