That being said I'm not sure who these insect burgers are for, or what problem they solve. If you acknowledge that diet is big part of climate change solutions, then why not go directly to plant-based burgers? It's not like crickets have anything in common with red meat in any way.
My cynical take is that it's just a way to "do the right thing" without agreeing with the vegans. Gotta eat dead animals.
Crickets are more sustainable than plants as a source of protein.
