  "Influencers" and billionaries will probably happen before the rest of the public does. Billionaires should get on board before someone else does. > By 2030, the global industry for edible insects, sold whole or in a smoothie-ready powder, will grow from sales of $1 billion to $8 billion, according to a report from Barclays and Meticulous Research. https://fortune.com/2019/06/28/edible-insects/ https://fortune.com/2019/06/28/edible-insects/

      The global food market is worth trillions of dollars. People in many countries eat insects. It doesn't have to start with people in the US who have never really given serious consideration to it. I've traveled a lot and seen how people's perceptions of foods change when they are exposed to new things. I don't think edible insects is a huge stretch if it were done in the right way.
