Does crickets have meat in them?

Crickets are insects, and insects are not considered meat in the traditional sense. While they do have muscle tissue, they are more accurately classified as insects or edible insects.

Here's why:

* Meat is typically defined as the flesh of mammals, birds, or fish.

* Crickets are arthropods, a different phylum of animals.

* From a nutritional standpoint, crickets are considered a good source of protein and other nutrients, similar to other meat sources.

So, while not traditionally considered "meat", crickets offer a valuable source of protein and other nutrients, making them a viable alternative for those seeking protein sources.
