Default Official NARAM snack?

Hello All,

Just as the Olympics have various official products, the NAR could do the same thing for NARAM and/or the NSL. I recently came across a new, unique product--whose manufacturer would, I think, be interested in the public exposure--which could be adopted by the NAR as the official snack food of NARAM and/or NSL: Chirps Chips (see: http://chirpschips.com/ ).

I certainly hope so. :-) There's also a direct tie-in between this product and model rocketry, since it involves one of the more common--and one of the few "not frowned upon"--biological payloads for model rockets...

They are a little to expensive for my taste.

No argument here...the fellow who reviewed the Chirps Chips (in the fifth video down from the top here: http://www.youtube.com/results?sear...ry=Chirps+Chips ) even showed how relatively empty the filled bags were, although since they just started the company, I imagine they'll remedy that. As their number of vendors grows (they've made a surprising start already, especially considering the built-in psychological barrier to eating their cricket chips...), they may be able to offer larger "family size" bags of Chirps Chips, which should cost less per ounce. Oddly:

While I couldn't eat their chips (unless I was VERY hungry, as in "beginning to really starve"), I like the ^concept^ of their healthy, eco-friendly chips. If they offered Chlorella (blue-green algae) crackers or chips (and/or ones made with Duckweed, another algae), I would like those. Both Chlorella and Duckweed have been used in simulated long-duration space missions, where they were grown hydroponically to both help with life support and provide an onboard-grown food source (the volunteers found them tasty, and with yeast, soy, and mushrooms, they can also be used to make all kinds of dishes).

I've spent my life making sure that ants, termites, and crickets stay out of my house. I'm not going to change now.

Yes--eating honey (which I don't use often) is as close as I can come to consuming bugs, and even honey is "iffy" for me because of what it is--it's actually bee vomit...

Yes, and alcohol is yeast pee, but millions consume it by the truck load.
For that matter, breads, cakes, etc. that "rise" are full of yeast farts.

Today feels like a good day to fast... :-) Even the oxygen we breathe is--to the plants that give it off--a waste gas. (That's another thing about the cricket chips that I find distasteful--since they finely grind whole crickets to make the cricket flour, that also includes whatever was in the crickets' intestines when they died [they chill the crickets so that they fall asleep and then die, before they grind them up into powder]. The digestive tract contents are also what make fried clams taste good--sometimes it's better to be blissfully ignorant about details...)
