    This is racist against cultures that have eaten bugs for a long time (but not other cultures that have also eaten bugs for a long time).

    I don't eat bugs because crickets are 35 bucks a pound and my girlfriend will leave me if I start raising my own.

    Fun fact: you've already been eating insects your entire life. Carnivore or vegan, it matters not. If you've eaten processed food, it has insect parts in it.

      If you’ve eaten processed food, it has insect parts in it.

      no real way to avoid some parts ending up in your food, no matter what. When Jains(I think this is how it is spelled) immigrated to the US, they started showing many health problems. It was eventually figured out that the higher food safety standards in the US had lead to them consuming fewer insect parts then they traditionally had, so they were lacking proteins.

        This is morbidly hilarious, if you have a source handy I would LOVE to read it.

              ah, it's no worry. DM me if you find it, otherwise I'll get back to you when I find the source.

        Big doubt. It's really fucking difficult to not get enough protein on a plant-based diet if you're eating adequate calories each day. The "proteins are only found in animal sources" thing is a ridiculous myth.

          there's some proteins just not found in plants. They were gotten from eggs and milk by pre-modern vegetarians, and modern vegans have to get them supplemented.

    I actually really want to try scorpion. Saw fried scorpions on some food travel shows in Thailand and China and something about them looks delicious.

    They just look like tiny tasty little land lobsters to me and after looking it up they apparently taste like shellfish too.

    I do not eat bugs because they are a lower level of life, beneath me.
