Cricket One, a start-up in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, says crickets can feed the world's growing population.
Insects use little water, no pesticides, are packed with protein, grow quickly, and can thrive on waste products.
They are relished as food throughout the world, and even western countries are now starting to accept them.
Cricket One pays local farmers to grow crickets in automated, app-controlled container units. Farmers feed the crickets cassava leaves, an agricultural waste product, and harvest them.
Cricket One roasts the crickets, grinds them into flour, and makes protein-rich chips, bread, and pasta. The company has expanded to produce 45 tons of products a month, and now plans to ship to America, Australia, and Europe.

Does trump know about this? Will there be a tariff to protect the beef, pork and chicken farmers here in the States? Just asking for a friend.

I tried them at a Seattle Mariners game. A concession stand had them. Not bad but would take a lot of them to fill you up at Thanksgiving.
