(Natural News exclusive) \u2013 Various forms of crickets are now being sold for human consumption as part of the disingenuous \u201cclimate cult\u201d lunacy that pretends if enough humans eat bugs, we will change the weather.<\/p>\n

While the meat supply chain is being destroyed by governments who claim\u00a0nitrogen<\/em>\u00a0is evil \u2014 yes, the very same governments that still claim\u00a0carbon dioxide<\/em>\u00a0is a pollutant even though it\u2019s the pillar of photosynthesis \u2014 we\u2019re all being told to eat crickets and mealworms to save the planet.<\/p>\n

TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n

See the related story, \u201cEuropeans will soon be eating bugs after mealworms get the green light from food regulators<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, various forms of crickets \u2014 cricket \u201ccheesy ranch\u201d snacks, cricket powder and cricket protein powder \u2014 are sold on Amazon.com and labeled for human consumption.<\/p>\n

We purchased three brands of crickets for human consumption \u2014 Cricket Bites, Entomo and Bud\u2019s \u2014 plus one brand labeled for consumption by reptiles: Fluker\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a closer look at the brands we purchased and the video microscope setup we are using at our food science lab:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We proceeded to take microscopy photographs at magnifications ranging from 50X to 300X.<\/p>\n

Here are some microscopy photos of Entomo Farms\u2019\u00a0Cricket Protein Powder<\/strong>, which is labeled as, \u201cThe planet\u2019s most sustainable superfood.\u201d Many cricket products are also labeled dairy-free, non-GMO, paleo friendly and gluten-free.<\/p>\n

None of them are labeled\u00a0chitin-free<\/em>, however, since they are loaded with chitin, part of the exoskeletons of crickets and bugs. Consuming chitin carries its own risks for humans and dogs, but we aren\u2019t covering that in this article.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here, notice how this cricket protein powder contains all the parts of the crickets: The legs, hairs, segments of eyes, excretion organs, wings and more:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Next, we feature microscopy photos of Fluker\u2019s Freeze Dried Crickets, which are labeled for consumption by reptiles. However, these appear to be the same crickets used in human consumption formulas sold under other brands.<\/p>\n

The part of the cricket that opens and closes the rear end of the cricket to dispose of fecal matter is called the \u201cDorsal valve\u201d (on top) and \u201cVentral valve\u201d (on bottom). You might also call it the \u201cpoop chute claw,\u201d because it claws shut after the cricket poops.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a closeup of the poop chute claw, which you\u2019re also eating if you eat crickets:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some parts of the crickets were unidentifiable but creepy looking, resembling creatures from the movie series\u00a0Aliens<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u201cCricket Bites\u201d Cheesy Ranch crickets for human consumption<\/h2>\n

Cricket food companies have tried to make their crunchy crickets more tasty by adding salt and flavorings. The\u00a0Cricket Bites<\/em>\u00a0brand adds various spices and cheese flavorings to produce their \u201cCheesy Ranch\u201d flavor. They also offer crickets in \u201cHickory Smoked Bacon,\u201d which seems a bit hilarious, given that the whole point of eating crickets is to avoid eating meat products like bacon.<\/p>\n

This brand also uses\u00a0autolyzed yeast extract<\/em>, a flavor enhancer known to contain glutamate:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what the Cheesy Ranch crickets look like up close:<\/p>\n

Bud\u2019s Cricket Power<\/h2>\n

When it comes to cricket food products, one thing you have to give the industry credit about is the fact that most cricket food providers aren\u2019t lying about what\u2019s in their product. A brand called\u00a0Bud\u2019s Cricket Power<\/em>\u00a0is labeled as, \u201c100% Pure Cricket Powder.\u201d<\/p>\n

No lies. No deception. It\u2019s just ground up cricket, plain and simple. Whether you should actually\u00a0eat<\/em>\u00a0ground up crickets is up to you, but at least there\u2019s no dishonest labeling at play here, unlike many processed junk food products which are wildly deceptive.<\/p>\n
