Gonna be honest, if you told me a country was going to start doing this, I would not have picked Italy

Yeah, my wife will be pissed if I tell her about this.

Why? It's just more choice, nobody will be forced to buy it. Seems silly to get upset about what other people choose to eat... Wait, she's Italian, checks out.

Well, other EU countries already sell insect-based food countries.and I'm not sure to what degree they can completely ignore the EU regulations.

Yeah. Didn't their politicians/farmers lobby block lab grown meat recently.

You can buy cricket flour in Canada. There is a manufacturer in Nova Scotia.

The one I was thinking of was Midgard Insect Farms Inc but I think they only grow for pet food. There are many others in Canada however. Even Loblaws started selling cricket flour in their stores around 2017.

just remember that Italy was one of the first countries in the news when the COVID "panic" began.

Never forget the February 2020 "news" clips of Italians standing out on their balconies united in song while social distancing ๐Ÿ™„

Whatever's going on with world governmens up-ending life as we know it, Italy is complicit at offering themselves as tribute to ease the world into it by gently introducing "new normals" that would otherwise cause worldwide panic & protest.

Because Italy is so classy & harmless. Whatever they're doing, it's obviously classy & acceptable for everyone else in the world to do too.

Just remember that nearly 7 million people died worldwide from covid, so I don't quite understand your use of quotation marks there. It absolutely was a reason to panic, I'm also not sure what your connection is between covid in Italy and cricket flower. Please keep your conspiracy theory bullshit tucked deeply away in your dysfunctional brain because people like you are the primary reason so many lives were upended.
