Over 50% of the world's 300,000 parasites are microscopic. Insects are LOADED with parasites.

Flour section of the grocery store.  Cricket flour?  6 or 7 companies in this world that are now using crickets, and insects, to make flour.  

According to Drovers, PepsiCo is looking to use cricket proteins in products such as Cheetos and Quaker granola oats.  

Insect Gourmet says 

Inset related businesses in the Western world are producing insect proteins for foods, beverages, confectionaries, and other things such as butters, oils, and pestos. 

As well as spice and seasoning, so it's most likely going to show up, not be labeled, and you're not going to know it in pretty much everything you eat.  

It is expected to reach $4.6 billion in sales by 2027 and produce 1.4 million tons of insect protein.  ADM, Archer Daniels Midland, is in the process of producing insect foods in Decatur, Illinois right now in partnership with Innova Foods; that's on the ADM website.  EXO, which is a company that makes cricket flour.  Iowa State Entomology Department says that crickets are only about 12.9% protein and this would explain why the NIH when they do their comparisons of protein levels in cricket flour, they compare them to plants, not animals.  Cleveland Clinic said that about 30% of the cricket farms looked at have parasites that carry disease to humans and that edible insects are as underestimated reservoir in human and animal parasites.  Yep, Cleveland Clinic said that.  They are an underestimated reservoir of parasites in humans and animals.  

2:16  According to the NIH, it states that the exoskeletons, or the chitin, is a digestible fiber but they don't know how it digests.  I found that more than just a little curious.  And then and turn around and say that if you consume chitin, it'll trigger immune responses in the body.  

2:36  According to Science Direct, this cricket flour has all the markings for detectable arsenic.  

2:49  The NIH says that novel foods such as crickets show the presence of arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, chromium, and mercury in all those edible insects.  Or the flour made from them.  

This is a farm boy.  That's what's going to be in our food supply soon.
