I legitimately don't consider anyone advocating bug eating, to be human.
Okay, but I don't care.
Don't like none of those water bugs either.
Bottom feeders. You eat crabs or shrimp and you're eating every pollutant in the ocean, man-made or otherwise. Shrimp like to gather around the exhaust valves of container ships and eat what comes out of them.
Your tastes are rather shellfish, don't you think?
Good one.
it's all in what they eat. We eat tons of mammals like cow, pig, deer, etc. but we don't typically eat other mammals like squirrel, rat, or coyote. similarly, we eat tons of birds like chicken, quail, and duck, but we don't eat other birds like vulture, eagle, etc. this is because the animals that we do eat have a diet that makes them healthy meals for us (broadly speaking). animals that feed off of carrion or meat are typically not so healthy for us, so we avoid them.
The bugs pictured eat literal shit. we do not want that in our systems.
Yeah I dont fuck with any arthropods. All those legs creep me out.
Oh we're talking about questionable foods that somehow have a good reputation?
Caviar has entered the chat.
Soft roe and prairie oysters have also entered the chat
If it's "meat" and not part of Chordata, it isn't food.
Yes, that includes crabs, lobsters, shrimp and crayfish. None of them are food.
Crab is wild delicious for not being food
And animals will happily drink all the Ethylene Glycol they can get. Just because it tastes good doesn't mean it's food.
Lobster used to be considered disgusting poor people food, because Newfies could just go along and pick them up by hand off the beach and stuff, back before human overfishing collapsed the Grand Banks ecosystem (but sure, blame the harp seals and bash their babies in the head every year, 300K per. Fuck humans and their spoiled-ass whining about "no babies". Humans don't deserve any.)
Once they became rare and more expensive, then the richie riches started loving paying high prices for it.
Butter really helped everything out.
The war on butter has been a veritable war crime.
same with river fish like salmon
it used to be the protein of paupers, but now? river caught fish is like gourmet delicacy, almost as expensive as beef!
I heard something similar, but it was an ad campaign that made the various types of shellfish expensive and the type of food only the upper class would eat.
That's diamonds.
An ad campaign, really? Anything to not mention how the Grand Banks, and all of the ocean, is being destroyed. I bet people still believe in the "the ocean is an endless source of protein" shit. They said they'd never run out of bison or passenger pigeons, too.
im with visor wearing black space man on this one
His actor complained that his fictional character didn’t get to have fictional sexy with other fictional characters. “Those white men…” is how he described his fictional characters cock blockers. Never mind a lot of those white men were jews
Bullshit, that was the entire point of Leah Brahms.
He didn't end up with her, except maybe in a possible version of the future (that Picard S3 might have partially confirmed, but his daughters don't look like they're mixed enough to be the product of an already mixed-race black dude and a white chick. At least not to me.)
"Those white men" (probably): "Sorry darkie, no miscegenation for you! MUAHAHAHAHA! (Yeee-haw!)"
Meanwhile, Worf got to bang K'Ehleyr, Troi, Jadzia, and Ezri (briefly). Ha.
Worf was straight up alpha energy while Burton's toon was barely above faggot levels.
I remember that episode where Sarek was accidentally driving everyone insane, and him and Wesley got into a physical confrontation because they were calling each other out for being incels, lol.
Little did he know that the shop itself was in love with Geordi and confessed it's love several times.
Meme was made by a homosexual commie so I really shouldn't even respond, but an important factor in the "I won't eat the bugs" argument is that eating chitin is not good for you. You peel seabugs first before eating them.
This is the most obvious correct answer and I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it yet. When I eat shrimp, I eat its muscle tissue, just like I would with a cow or chicken. I don't grind the fucker up into a paste and then eat that. But that's how you have to eat bugs. They have no muscle tissue. Just chitin, viscera, and hemolymph. If you processed a premium Kobe beef cow the same way they process bugs, I wouldn't eat that either.
False equivalence.
Shellfish industry is both massive and more importantly long running with health and safety checks throughout its history.
There is no mass production of insects yet despite all the talks about it and even if there were the examples used in that image are not what anyone should use.
The scorpion, which isnt even an insect, is evidently a highly venemous species and not suitable for worker handling, the Indian forest scorpion would be a far more suitable option.
The Bladditae, aka the cockroach, is far too chitinous for any suitable meat yield meaning significant energy costs are wasted per individual.
The Orthoptera, while being one of the few insects in the Bible permitted for consumption as mentioned in Leviticus, is too small a species for any significant meat yield, likely yet another example of whomever made this "meme" just grabbing random arthropod pics without any actual background info in the specific examples.
On top of all that, tropomyosin allergies mean anyone allergic to eating the top examples will also be allergic to eating the bottom examples.
Rarely eat crab and lobster meat but definitely enjoy crawdad boils
I don't even eat the sea bugs. Never had lobster, crab I'm meh on and not a fan of shrimp since that one time i came down with something after eating them and puked whole shrimp back up as a kid.
I don't want either variety.
Fight me.
