We should eat insects

[game-lover]

It's always annoyed me how people bring up the whole shrimp and lobsters are basically sea bugs. Maybe it's true... still irks me some.

Anyway... there are plenty of other things to eat besides insects if we're worried about domestication.

No more cows? I'm eating moose. Yeah, that's right. Or bison. Or shark. Or beaver. Or a damn alligator.

By the way, in my earlier reply? All that translates basically into: bull balls, bird spit, fish sperm and duck embryos.

That's what I'd eat before I touch a bug as food.

I don't think I could eat insects, it's a texture thing. I can't even stand tomatoes for that reason v:

I found a cockroach leg in my mouth while drinking some milk tea once, wasn't a pleasant experience.

As long as they were dead and cooked I'd gladly try fried crickets or a roasted scorpion or something like that. They're almost pure protein with effectivly no fat, so insects would be a perfectly healthy food source.

Ah shrimps are delicious but a bit bothersome to eat if you have to peel the shell off.
Lobsters and crabs are insects too. Kind of arachnids even yet they are regarded as delicacies!

The main issue I have with eating insects is all that chitin you can't really get rid of.
A bit too crunchy. Also eating heads with eyes and a brain in them and inner organs... ugh.
You can't really remove that from tiny insects.
Then again, it's probably like eating mussels which also have everything left in them and I love me some blue mussels in garlic sauce.

The large insect that has actual meat on it that doesn't live in the sea -tarantula- creeps me the fuck out so I could probably not even look at that in front of me, let alone try and eat it.
But I guess it is purely a head thing you can get over if you try.
