Why crickets? There are plenty of other insects. I vote we use mosquitoes.

I'm currently on a medically-supervised fast to lose weight, and in a few months I'm going to need to learn to live with a diet that is far lower in carbs than what I've enjoyed in the past. So I'm looking at this and thinking... protein pasta? I don't care if it's crickets, sign me up!

But then I look at their nutritional information and find that while it does contain almost twice as much protein as regular pasta, the carb count is practically the same. What's more notable is that it contains 30 times the sodium! Wow. Takes a lot of salt to make cricket palatable, I guess.

. . . and when you're on the trail, you can have some high-protein Chapul energy bars!
