On one hand, yes it's not a problem if some people eat crickets as long as they're not unhealthy.
On the other hand, I personally do not want to eat crickets even in flour form. I just think that's gross. So I am concerned about the rise of use of cricket flour because if it's cheap you just know they're going to put it in everything, which will reduce the number of snacks I can eat.
I don't believe the conspiracy theory "they want to make you eat bugs for this sinister reason" thing. It's just a market response to the growing demand for cheap, high-protein non-meat foods. Though personally I would much prefer soy or bean protein in my cheese puffs rather than cricket protein.
I know some animal rights activists that are against farming bugs for this purpose. They claim that if every life is equally valuable, killing hundreds of crickets for the same nutrition as a larger animal is unnecessary suffering. I disagree with their belief that insects are capable of suffering in any morally relevant way, but I guess they're on my side in arguing against bugs as food? Shaky alliance lol.
I also think it's important to preserve our food traditions. I have concerns that instead of taking steps to protect our ability to produce enough protein through conventional means, our policymakers will accept that we just eat cheap bugs now. That would be a problem for people like me that want affordable meat and plant protein.
