Crickets are a traditional food in Oaxaca and make a decent snack when well-seasoned with chile and lime. I´ve eaten my share. But this business of bugs in European bread feels different, a slimy top-down edict from world-domination types.
My doctor brother is a puzzle. Nice guy, very smart, but we´re on different planets when it comes to nutrition. During our B12 conversation, he told me that vegans also don´t need to worry a bit about protein -- that the idea that we need protein is a myth. I once asked him if he´d ever recommend a patient try keto. He said no. I asked, not even for kids with treatment-resistent epilepsy? No.
For me, family visits are an exercises in restraint.
