Eating Cricket (Acheta) Protein?

Larry A. Law

Crickets are readily available in pet stores as food for turtles, frogs and other pets, but for human food? In many countries, they are considered delicacies or snacks. Even in the United States, cricket flour is now commonly found in protein bars, baked goods and protein powders. Acheta domesticus (Acheta) is the scientific name for crickets and what you want to look for on the ingredients list of the protein bar if you want to avoid eating them. 

Who is Behind This Effort?
​
When did eating crickets become a thing in western countries? It was all part of the Great Reset and controlling our food supply. Fortunately, this effort has largely imploded on itself in 2025. Were Americans really ready to give up their hamburgers for a cricket protein bar? 

At the World Economic Forum, voices like that of founder and executive chairman Klaus Schwab made climate change a focal point of the conversations surrounding the global economy and future policies. Warnings like “an extinction of large parts of our global population” were shared from center stage, and bugs had gradually been championed as one solution to the climate crisis. 

​The idea of promoting insect consumption as a food source was part of the global climate-change battle. Replacing the meat in your diet with creepy, crawly insect-based substitutes would save the planet and reduce methane gas and carbon emissions. This fear was being used by global elites as another method of controlling the global population. “It’s all a fantasy, it’s all a new religion. And it’s a scary religion because, of course, once the people are scared, the people in power can do whatever they want,” Dutch politician Wybren van Haga said on “Let Them Eat Bugs.”

The Gateway Bug for Environmentalists

"While there is potential for insect cultivation to augment the global supply of dietary protein, some of the sustainability claims on this topic have been overstated,” said Mark Lundy, who headed the research at University of California, Davis while working on his doctorate in agronomy. “Our study demonstrates that the sustainability gains associated with cultivating crickets as an alternative source of protein will depend, in large part, on what the crickets are fed and which systems of livestock production they are compared to.”

Crickets are not really a plausible alternative, global source of protein in the human diet to supplement or replace livestock consumption, according to newly-published research completed at the UC Davis. Worldwide, statistics show that crickets are the most widely cultivated insects of the human diet, and are considered the "gateway bug" to entomophagy. Entomophagy is the practice of eating insects, including their eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. It's also known as insectivory, and the people who practice it are called entomophages or insectivores. Crickets are touted as highly nutritious, and much better for the planet — environmentally and financially — than livestock due to their comparatively efficient feed conversion.  

Researchers concluded that the potential for “Acheta domesticus to sustainably supplement the global protein supply, beyond what is currently produced via grain-fed chickens, will depend on capturing regionally scalable organic side-streams of relatively high quality that are not currently being used for livestock production.” Thankfully, this means that eating crickets is not likely to become a priority any time soon in the current, global  political climate. 

Bottom Line

Be wary of the efforts of globalists to control the food supply. If they control the food, they can control you.  Click here to watch a webinar on how they use similar tactics against fossil fuels in an effort to control the world's population and scare them into submission.
