(Natural News)—It is a good idea to pay close attention to everything you buy at the grocery store, especially if it comes from a major food corporation like PepsiCo, which is reportedly looking for new opportunities to slip cricket protein into popular packaged foods.
Cheetos, Quaker Granola Oats and other processed grocery foods could already contain cricket protein, depending on the brand, so make sure you read the ingredient labels closely.
“There are at least six or seven companies in this world that are now using crickets, insects to make flour,” explains the American farmer in the video below.
“Insect Gourmet says insect-related businesses in the Western world are producing insect proteins for foods, beverages, confectionaries, and other things such as butters, oils, and does as well as spice and seasoning.”

Eating crickets will give you parasites
Believe it or not, insect and bug ingredients can also apparently be added to American food items without explicit labeling. The plan in just a few short years is to lace ground-up bugs into everything sold at conventional grocery stores.
By 2027, the plan is to reach $4.6 billion in sales from bug ingredients, amounting to around 1.4 million tons in total weight.
Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) is already producing insect ingredients at its Decatur, Ill., plant in partnership with Innova Foods. On the company’s website, it is stated falsely that crickets are 60 percent protein.
Iowa State University‘s (ISU) etymology department says that crickets are only about 12.9 percent protein, which means ADM is lying (big shocker) in order to make crickets seem more “nutritious.”
Whatever the case may be, crickets are not a suitable food item for humans. The Cleveland Clinic issued a warning that about 30 percent of all cricket farms, meaning the facilities where crickets are now being raised for human “food,” are loaded with parasites that transfer to humans who eat them.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) also expressed uncertainty about the alleged digestibility of crickets. The bugs’ exoskeletons, also known as chitin, is claimed to be a “digestible fiber,” but the NIH says it has no idea how it allegedly digests.
In other words, the human body cannot process crickets as food. And even the part that is claimed to function like “fiber” does not appear to digest, even though corporations like ADM insist it does.
Because the powers that be want only themselves to eat meat, everyone else has to eat bugs or “plants,” these being the only two protein options for poor people moving forward.
It is already a bad idea to eat processed foods from the likes of PepsiCo, by the way. Cereals from Quaker, for instance, are loaded with pesticides like glyphosate that are linked to cancer and reproductive problems.
“I’ll not eat bugs and only buy fresh meat from my local butcher,” one commenter wrote about all this. “Not labeled? Just boycott their products.”
“Stop eating processed foods,” wrote another. “Eat more one-ingredient foods like eggs, avocado, and steak because processed foods are already poisoning you.”
“The more processed, the more poison they can sneak in. Just look at the health of today’s youth.”

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
