@LukeAlmightya lot of the pro-insect infographics and articles I've seen talk up the idea that there are diseases you can get by eating meat, but no 'known' maladies from eating insects. no shit, we don't do it because it's what lower creates do, and have done for millennia.
@butterdog@LukeAlmightywe don't eat insects because we don't have to. the people who eat them do it because they have to to survive. if they didn't have to, they wouldn't.
iirc vegetarianism came about in some places for similar reasons out of sheer necessity, then they stuck with it.
@Curvin@lichelordgodfrey@LukeAlmightySorry, maybe an obscure reference, Alex Gleason works on fedi software and has meme'd his vegan status by constantly telling people he'd vegan.
@LukeAlmighty@Curvin@lichelordgodfreyYea, as much fun as I think it would have been to tag him, I'm holding back. He probably has a 'vegan' word detector set up anyway. I don't know his opinion on bug eating men, but I imagine it's not favorable.
