This part made me ...

Kutcher confirmed that insects are high in protein, but pointed out one negative aspect to eating insects.
“The downside is, especially with something like crickets, they have spines, they have claws, they have exoskeletons made from chitin and it’s not digestible, so it goes right through you,” Kutcher said. “When you eat crab or lobster, you don’t eat the whole thing, you take off the shell. That’s the chitin, but with something like crickets, you can’t remove the chitin.”
Chapul grinds the crickets into a flour in its bars so there are no legs, claws or antennae present. When they are ground that way, Kutcher said, the chitin is still not digestible, but consumers don’t have the problems that come from eating all the body parts and they still get all the nutrients.

I now feel sick and itch at the same time.
