Ok, I like food shows. I use them to have background noise and maybe learn a thing or two about cooking. It always seemed benign enough for tv …

But tonight as I was folding laundry, S42, E1 of Chopped Kitchen was on in the background. One of the mystery basket items for the desert round was chocolate covered crickets. For an episode dedicated to vegetarian cooking…

Where they already trying to preprogram us in cooking shows? Last I understood biology, crickets are protein, and although an insect, wouldn’t you still consider them a meat protein source?

Or are they preparing us for zbugs?
