Hiroyuki: Personal Opinion on Cricket Eating:

Cricket food has been attracting attention worldwide as a countermeasure against food shortages, and in Japan, crickets are being powdered and used in food products. A prefectural high school in Komatsushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, held a cooking class using powdered edible crickets, which are rich in nutrients and can be produced efficiently, and those who wanted to try them tasted them. Some Internet users criticized the practice, saying, "Don't feed children ghettos," and "Many more children may become traumatized and become bitter about eating insects," prompting a flood of complaints to the high school and a groundswell of support and disapproval on the Internet.

　Hiroyuki then posted an English-language document from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the U.S. that stated, "Insects are a valuable alternative protein source, but their high purine derivative content is not recommended for people with certain diseases," and added, "Cricket diets are high in purines because the entire outer shell is eaten, and people with gout and crustacean allergies are at risk. Cricket diets are not recommended for people with high uric acid levels because of the risk of gout and crustacean allergies. Cricket eaters hide this fact from the public.
