  • From what I read in the 10 minutes I was interested in it, it seems like the people who spend way more time on that than us aren’t 100% sure that they are a distinct species and only came to that conclusion fairly recently. I like raccoons in general, so I would like to see that distinct family of raccoons protected. I’m not going to argue much that they aren’t a distinct species. They do apparently have a different number of teeth now than their mainland kin. Mountain folk have a different number of teeth than city folk too, but that doesn’t make them extrahuman.









  • I fed some crickets oranges before taking them to a demonstration speech I was giving for speech class. My demonstration was on making “crispy critters” which are rice crispy treats with dry roasted crickets. As an opener, I ate a live cricket (new personal fears of parasites would stop me from doing this now). The cricket tasted just like orange candy, because he had a belly full of oranges. It was better than my dry roasted crickets. I ate a cricket live out of the yard and it tasted like grass. They are what they eat. Even so, when you cook them, they dry up to the point that you are just eating their shells mostly.

    So yes, you could make them salty if you drown them in salt water, but the muscle is the major part. We need to figure out how to make them get major gains. Little barbells maybe.


  • I guess regular bugs have way less need of muscle than swimming bugs. I have eaten crickets in a few different ways, and they never taste anything like shrimp. ALso, living in salt water pre-seasons the flesh maybe. That is my working theory. If we could figure out how to breed crickets that taste anything like shrimp, I would make them part of my diet and maybe even breed them.
