Wasnt paying full attention to the "healthy" cookies being presented, but thought I heard they contained crickets.
Looked them up and I did not see ingredients list but the reviews fully stated they were made with bugs.
If this is eating HEALTHY no thanks.

I thought you were joking. GROSS!!

@Imaoldhippie I'm pretty sure the protein in these cookies is from crickets. I know crickets are a significant protein source in many cultures, but it does take some getting used to. They are too expensive, so I won't be buying them. I have had crickets in the past, but I'm not going out of my way to eat them again.

That is so gross!
In the very tiny nutrition link you can view the ingredients-one of them is acheta domesticus which when put into plain English is the common house cricket! š¤¢
Of course they don't spell it out. I feel sorry for anyone who mistakenly eats one and doesn't realize what it's made of. Why in the world?!

LOL acheta domesticus! I guess they figure most people won't bother to look it up!

I looked this up. I won't be buying from QVC again. Disgusting and underhanded in every possible way.
What on earth were they thinking?

@Imaoldhippie Your post should have been titled QVC SELLING COOKIES MADE FROM BUGS. TRUE!
People need to know!

I laughed at this too. Mary was earning that paycheck today. š¤£
She was her usual bubbly self - "yes, please", "mmm, yum", "sign me up!".
I never wanna get that healthy š¤£

I remember seeing snacks, maybe cookies, made from crickets on Shark Tank. Not sure if this is the same brand. Definitely not for me!
