about

Edible insects, esp cricket powder, are the future of food, and we all want a future.

In November 2023 D & D took a 1977 two chord boogie backing track from the Moths practicing at Park Street, St.Kilda and recorded this song about how to save the planet by eating edible insects.

lyrics

Crickets, this songs about crickets
(Eating it, not playing it)
Crickets, it's the future of food
(And we all want a future)
Crickets, love those crickets
Crickets, small and chirpy too

Eat more crickets
Eat less cows
Eat those crickets
Not from your back yard
Eat more crickets
Eat less meat
Eat those crickets
Just watch for shellfish allergies
(Both have chitlin)

Crickets, super yummy crickets
(So delicious)
Crickets, it's a good thing to do
(And very sustainable too)
Crickets, tasty tasty crickets
Crickets, so good for you

Edible insects
Are what we need
To save planet earth
So suck it up
To it being yuk
And maybe give it a go

Crickets, check out those crickets
(Online and ask your food store too)
Crickets, not a strange thing to do
(Billions of us already do)
Crickets, they're so nutritious
Crickets, good for the planet too

More iron than spinach
More protein than beef
More calcium than milk
More B12 than fish
More potassium than bananas
Omega 3, amino acids, magnesium
It's got the lot
Just think about it
And maybe give it a go.
