COVID-19 outbreak is raging all over the world. Japan previously issued a national emergency, several cities had shut down and the government called on people to stay home. Three Tokyo people took this chance to go to an uninhabited island to “self-quarantine” for a month, stay away from hustle and bustle, and also the virus.
Twitter user @ken_osak invited two friends to the desert island to live a self-sufficient life away from the city. Their luggage was: fishing rod, harpoon, knife, saw, shovel, tent, kitchenware, seasonings, charging tools, and a chicken as a partner and emergency food!
Three people and one chicken lived on an uninhabited island in Kyushu. The life there was simple and routine: They set up their tents and caught fish, collected shells when they were hungry; when they are bored, they use all the resources on the island to entertain themselves. Occasionally, accidents occur, such as mobile phones entering the water, tent collapse, they need to overcome it by themselves and during that period, they had learn a lot. Life there was primitive but they were happy and they felt the satisfaction that cannot be found in the city.
After a month, Japan lifts last of virus emergency control on 25 May 2020, and the three also left the desert island on the 25th. Ken was quite reluctant about this and think that this precious experience on the island could not be felt in Tokyo. He said: “After this pandemic ended, I want to tell more people that there is such a great place, and I want people with interest to come here to develop their own adventure.”
Do you ever think of eating insect? Beetle? Spider? Cockroach? I think the answer must be No. But how about eating cricket and you can save the world?
This cricket cracker is a product jointly developed by the famous Japanese retails company MUJI and the Department of Bioscience and Bioindustry of Tokushima University in Japan. It looks like the normal cracker, but there is a cricket printed on the package to remind everyone that this is made of bug.
In the interview, the employees of the Snacks and Beverage Development Department said that this cricket cracker has the smell of shrimp. Also, the official website mentioned that biologically “shrimp is an insect in the sea, and crickets are land shrimp.”
Why We Need to Eat Crickets
According to the product description, the team made this cracker with cricket powder for the future of the earth.
MUJI also mentioned why crickets was chosen as food. The reason includes that the supply of meat protein in the world is not enough to support population development around 2030, and the protein content of crickets is far higher than common livestock.
Another advantage of eating crickets is that the resources required to feed crickets are very small. Compared with common cattle such as cows, pigs, and chickens, crickets have a very light load on the global environment.
There are many benefits of eating crickets, however, not everyone dare to taste. It can only be said that technology, population, etc. are constantly evolving, and the environment of the earth also needs to be taken into consideration. New possibilities must be developed for sustainable development.
The cricket cracker is currently only avaliable on the MUJI online store in Japan, and the details of selling globally are yet to be disclosed. If there is cricket cracker selling in your region, are you dare to try?

Red
Red represents love and enthusiasm. It’s a powerful colour. You are a powerful and positive person and you like to be followed and display your charm on many occasions. You are vibrant, confident, active and very social. But because of over-exhibiting yourself, sometimes it gives people a feeling of being self-centered. People who like red are easily excited, and a positive image penetrates into the hearts of the people.
Yellow
The yellow is very bright, energy-filled, sunny, happy. People with a strong love of yellow are all pleased and interested. You ‘re extremely active and creative, you don’t want a static life. But you’re too strong sometimes, and you put pressure on the people around you. Proper learning can strengthen the quality of your relationship between people.
Blue
Blue represents trust, harmony and loyalty. This is an aura-filled color, and people always associate blue with words such as wisdom, believe, prestige, and tranquility. People who like blue usually feel empathic and will trust those around them. You like quietness, peace and full of responsibility, a good judgment and a sense of wisdom. You are a smart person who does not panic and can always deal with problems properly in the face of difficulties. But you are a little introverted and have a strong sense of alertness. People around you still feel they can’t see your heart through.
Green
Green represents growth, harmony and freshness. This color is reminiscent of nature, and has a feeling of harmony and satisfaction. You are very calm, good at restraint, not easily depressed, and have a peaceful heart. You are kind and gentle, and able to maintain a harmonious and good relationship with the people around you. People who like green have a soft heart, which is very good for those around them. However, it should be noted that being too passive tends to lose the sense of participation in the group.
Pink
Pink represents romance, sweetness and beauty, giving a soft, young feeling. People who like this color have a pleasant charm, very romantic and optimistic. But this kind of person is easily lost in his fantasy world and thinks everything is in his possession, but sometimes truth is contrary to imagination. In this category, it is easy for people to think of the world as too lovely and to avoid reality.
Grey
Grey represents still and emotionless, making a feeling of cool and self- restraint. It looks moderate, dull and discouraging but at the same time it looks exquisite and formal. You are intelligent, modern and polite. You ‘re a hard man, but you’re not an idiot. But the ones who love grey colour will try to protect themselves from the world around them. They prefer a safe and balanced existence and they control their emotions to avoid an emotional pain.
