    Is this cricket thing only happening at one grocery store? Or at only one restaurant?

    No, it’s happening all over the world. Therefore it’s a global conspiracy.

    Don’t let the word “conspiracy” make you think it’s not a real phenomenon.

      Conspiracy https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/conspiracy

      1. An agreement or arrangement between multiple parties to do something harmful, immoral or subversive; an instance of collusion.
      2. (law) An agreement between two or more persons to break the law at some time in the future.
      3. loosely) A secret agreement to do something.

      speaking of some mysterious power in the background is indicating a collusion, some sort of secret agreements and always with the goal to harm people.

      By your logic every successful new technology was a global conspiracy. Agriculture? Conspiracy! Permanent houses instead of living on trees and in caves? Conspiracy! Water and Sanitation infrastrucutre? Conspiracy!

      It is just normal evolution that successful technologies establish and it is normal in a market environment that different actors see a potentially successful new technology and try to get in the market for it.

      we’re not letting the word “conspiracy” trick us into thinking it’s not real, we’re just not letting you get away with using the word “conspiracy” to insinuate that this is some plot to trick us into unwillingly eating cricket when it’s just another product for sale that everyone is free to either buy or not buy as they choose.
