The meat can be salted to taste however some people may think it is an acquired taste. This synthetic meat is easy to grow and is nutritionally balanced with the real thing.

NEGATIVE: Cricket flour is made from ground up crickets and is a high source of protein. This cricket flour is can be used in a Paleo diet as it is not highly processed. These ground up bugs can be used as a backup for flour in lots of recipes. 

Note how the negative paragraph does not put down cricket flour directly, but uses words with negative connotations such as "ground up bugs," "back-up to flour," etc.
