Oh gosh I just realized from reading this that a few years ago I remember reading that red dye in candy, ketchup anything red in food is made from crushed insects called cochineal🥴

and also the hard shells on candy are made from a shellac that comes from "a resin secreted by the lac bug."🤢

I just ate some m&ms-waaaaa!

No more. Ick!!

Anyone who didn't realize what acheta protein was did not pay attention during today's presentation—within the first minute, Mary clearly stated that it was a cricket-based protein, and the cookie types are "Chocolate Chirp" and "PB Hop Fudge":

Seems like a dumb thing to sell when so many people would be turned off.  A joke?  Seriously?  Why?

Yuck! I'm almost positive Heinz ketchup doesn't have any red ingredients like this in it, though. They don't need red dye. 

I will investigate M&M's - one of my favorites.

But this they warn us about:

• May contain milk, soy, wheat, eggs, and peanuts

Doesn't say anything about insect protein.

Well,   I'll be darned!    .. "crickets!"

Might be less expensive to use:  --->

. . . --->   "Chicadas" < LINK >  <-- WARNING GROSS WEBPAGE!!! ... .

. . .   they're fatter, bigger, lotsa babies, (but cyclical)

The Protein % of these "cricket cookies," on the Q "Nutritional Info," doesnt seem all that great with these added "protein crickets."  ewww

I think many years ago that chocolate covered ants or crickets were a thing.

@catter70   Yrs ago, I remember some saying that "chocolate covered ants" had the texture, & taste of "raisinets."    Not sure I ate many "raisinets" after that visualization..   esp when at the movies..

Yes this is beyond disgusting. I watchedthe kitchen shows a lot. Loved Mary and David but THIS is a bridge too far. The elites want “us” to own nothing, believe in nothing, and EAT BUGS when we have lovely hogs chickens and cows available. That was HORRIFIC.
