The retailer will start selling roasted crickets – described as “crunchy in texture with a rich smoky flavour” – in 250 of its stores from Monday, capitalising on the growing prominence of bush tucker in the global warming debate. The damaging environmental impact of global meat production has spurred interest in bugs – which can be bred in significant numbers without taking up large amounts of land, water or feed – as an alternative, sustainable food source.

Global warming or not, you won't get me to give up meat, nor I dare say will the vast majority of the population!

We've probably been eating insects for ages. I have returned several packs of rice, still sealed, that had rice weevil infestations.

I've found similar bugs in sealed packs of pasta too.
