    Long accepted in other parts of the world, entomophagy -- the technical term for eating insects -- has gained traction domestically in the past decade with splashy features in The New Yorker and New York Times.

    They should skip the oats, then they could market the gluten-free aspect.

    Actually, cyclists are the perfect market for such a bar. We eat pounds of insects, albeit involuntarily, every year.

    Actually, we are the worst market for such a bar - we don't need a bar for our share of insects, especially if you are a commuter

    I wonder how they get around the FDA's maximum percentage of insect parts.

    Honestly, they aren't even that healthy for you from a nutrient point of view. Many other better raw, gluten-free, vegan bars out there that are WAY better for you than these.
