If you haven’t been grabbing fresh, in-season fruits at the local farmers’ markets (or grocery store, or street vendor) to eat alongside your Kettlebell Kitchen meals, well…today’s links are here to encourage you to do so. Fruit is undeniably good for us in so many ways, doesn’t need to be cooked, and often can be brought along for a snack with some beef jerky or nuts. So let today’s links inspire you to enjoy the sweetness of summer (including some paleo dessert options) while summer’s still here!

The paleosphere has been abuzz (or should I say chirping?) over the Kickstarter project “Exo: Protein Bars Made from Cricket Flour”. After some press from TechCrunch, Mark’s Daily Apple, and Forbes Magazine (links to those articles below), the Exo folks have already met their fundraising goal weeks before their deadline. So until cricket-flour protein bars are available to purchase, read more about the concept in today’s links, along with links about how much protein we really need, anyway, and whether the future of meat will involve labs that culture “meat.”
