They're a fairly popular snack food in Central and South America, so if immigration trends continue they way they have been they won't even have to push cricket eating on the population: it'll just be part of the culture for the majority of the (new) population.
A guy I used to work with from Oaxaca used to eat them as a snack. Would bring them in a giant plastic bag and leave them in the fridge. Perhaps it's just a Mexico/Central America thing.
On the other hand, he never needed to send a site-wide email asking who stole his crickets out of the fridge...
He let me try one once. Weird texture without much flavor. Not something I would go out of my way to eat. If anything they'll start out using it as a filler material in things like sausages and premade foods like they do with textured soy protein.

That's disgusting.
