No one should be eating crickets. A cricket in your home is good luck. I think there are many people that view them spiritually as well. Regarding flour..there is this miracle plant called wheat...lol.

If you plant wheat on a half acre, you'll produce roughly 700 pounds of flour...which is equal to around 3 million crickets per run. Then there is the spore thing in cricket flour..ie..bad bacteria. It has a ton of protein though.

What the hell' was your friend thinking..except for the wish to make bank...eh? :)

A variation of the old mink or chinchilla farming you'd see promoted in the back of Popular Science etc when I was young. More recently it was alpacas, llamas or even Beefalos (remember them?) or such. They were usually marketed to "city-folk."

That reminds me of a friend in Vancouver, back in the early '90s, living on a 2-story houseboat in the harbor....she raised crickets in the living room, so that from her bedroom upstairs she could hear the crickets chirping at night, which soothed her at bedtime and helped her sleep. Based on the times I slept over, I came to agree that her arrangement made sense; I did feel soothed. Just like I did as a child, listening to the crickets outside chirping through the screened bedroom window, with the stars twinkling above. Maybe I'll look into raising a few crickets myself one day....better than warm milk, perhaps.....
