RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST: Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne. The farm-to-table movement now includes some tiny sources of protein. Insects and crickets have caught on at the University of Connecticut. The Daily Campus reports a food truck sells two or three containers a day of whole, roasted crickets. Not exactly a rush, but at 99 cents, they make a, quote, "organic, earth-friendly snack, or better, taco topping." I myself have had them on guacamole. And I can report, not bad, crunchy. It's MORNING EDITION.
A food truck at the University of Connecticut is selling roasted crickets. The school's newspaper — The Daily Campus — reports the truck sells two or three containers of crickets per day.
