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.
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.
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.
