OK, just got off the erg, ½ marathon, so I may still be in O2 recovery mode (not really, HR is already back to high resting rate), so take this with a scoop of acheta "flour," none of today’s panels pissed me off - not the ones pointing out asinine democrats, leftists, marxists (sorry, sometimes I get all repetitious); nor the ones pointing how "right" I and like minded virtuous voters have been, in fact the first 4, 5 even got a snicker out of me —- much appreciated.

That said, I’m not grossed out over acheta powder/acheta "flour" or the like, so long as it meets the same manufacturing safety regulations as, say, kale or tofu (keep in mind, this takes into account the number of incidents of e. coli contamination over the past couple decades). For a new product, one that will be met with heightened skepticism from the general public, heightened oversight should be the standard, not just as good as…TBH, I’ve even looked in to buying a ½ kilo or so just to slowly experience it. Will it ever replace the non-chirping protein in my freezer - not on the horizon; but, I am a strong advocate for mandating such supplementation for those groups who want to take away my right and access to a well marbled steak or a cedar plank grilled slab of salmon — I say kudos to these people, the more crickets they consume ( 🤔 can’t quite say "eat") the more meat with an friendly face is left for me.

Notice I didn’t give my imprimatur of acceptance where the actual crickets are concerned — I ain’t there yet and at my age, it is doubtful I ever will be 🤢. And that’s Regardless of how much chocolate they use to camouflage it with — there are much better uses of (dark) chocolate.

Cinco de Mayo, y’all. Talk about cultural appropriation: a bunch of inebriated gringos "celebrating" a holiday that was virtually unheard south of the border of until XX needed to sell more suds north of the border.

God Bless America 🤣
