I’ve seen bubbles with chinchillas, pigeons and research
with red Holsteins,
But never in my wildest dreams would I expect London to become home
to the world’s largest cricket processing plant.
Nor did I, as a taxpayer, expect to be investing $10
million in construction of the plant.
On the other hand, what could go wrong?
This is a venture backed by a researcher from McGill University.
It’s put forward by Aspire Food Group of Texas which says
it will hire 60 people to start in the building of 100,000 square feet.
I guess it would not surprise me if next we will learn about
“opportunities” to invest in rearing crickets to be processed at the plant. Or maybe
offers to starving students to go out and catch crickets? Should be easy to simply
follow their chirps, eh?
I can hear you chastising me for being such a skeptic and
critic. This could be a perfectly legitimate business venture.
I guess we can all wait and see.
