COLLEGE ADDS CRICKETS TO MENU

University of Connecticut has added bugs to its student food – on purpose. The university’s Food for Thought food truck is serving up roasted crickets for 99 cents as a topping for tacos. The topping is meeting mixed reactions. Said George Pidvysotski, a sophomore, “They’re like seeds.” But civil engineering graduate student Ned Eskew, meanwhile, wouldn’t even try a free sample of the bugs. “Just, no – because they’re crickets,” he said. Assistant dining services manager John Smith said UConn brought in the new topping, advertised on the side of the food truck, as an “organic, GMO free and earth friendly” option.
* Eating crickets. In college, that can give you a good case of chirpies.
* George Pidvysotski’s entrance exam into the University of Connecticut was to spell his last name.
* The University of Connecticut has added bugs to its student food? No. The University of Connecticut has added MORE bugs to its student food.
* You have to assume there were some bugs already.
* Better that than adding more students to its bug food.
* I’d avoid the word “topping” with this. When you say that, I just see a little pile of bugs.
