Would you eat an insect-based bread?

It may sound like a lie, but it's not (on the contrary, it's pretty real).
I was reading in a article that recently, a very special bread was created from a so much hated insect by millions of people: the cockroach.
Of course there are all the chemical processes for this to happen, but the pure basis is the cockroach itself... More specifically with its processed flour.
Would you take a bit?

@WiseGhots I know it's used in Yoplait Yogurt as an additive. I don't eat Yoplait at all.

It's not made of cockroaches but of crickets (though doubtless cockroaches contain just as much protein). In fact, the bread is mostly wheat flour, as usual, but with the added protein-rich cricket flour.
Fazer in Helsinki claims to be first store in world to offer insect bread, which contains about 70 crickets ground up into flour

@WiseGhots Ah, you mean this one (below). A similar process, I believe. The cockroaches are not the kind which one finds as pests in the kitchen but a kind which is normally used to feed reptiles and spiders.

Oh Good Lord, that sounds weird! Now in a sense, all bread might be insect based as it contains yeast which is a living organism..however, I guess it would be in the bacteria family, not sure about that though!

If I don't know what I'm eating, and it looks and smells good, I'll probably eat it. If you tell me, then my conscience won't let me eat it.

If I was starving during the zombie apocalypse.
