Makes sense: lobsters are essentially insects, and eating insects, such as cockroaches is disgusting for most people. I still refuse to eat lobsters and shrimps for this exact reason: I'm not eating any insects, ever.
- peteradio 7y agoMore insects for me!
- teekert 7y agoSome human puts some species under some label. You: I'm not eating anything under this label as it must be alike! But in this case insects a lobsters are not even close in the tree of life. Maybe they indeed look alike a bit. Do you eat feces because it does look a bit like chocolate?
- randomdestructn 7y agoI'm guessing they avoid any arthropods. Chocolate and feces isn't really a great analog.
- mrrsm 7y agoIf you have a shellfish allergy you are told to avoid eating insects. I know that is the case for crickets at least. So having them compared isn't that out there of an idea.
- Retric 7y agoIt’s not that far apart Lobsters and insects both belong to the invertebrate phylum Arthropoda. If you want to include both spiders which are Chelicerata and grasshoppers which are Hexapoda that’s Arthropoda.
- jotm 7y agoI'll eat any insects. Well, not on the regular maybe, but I'd try them. I still want to try some grasshoppers and centipedes and whatnot, I wonder about the taste. I love salted shrimp, I remember seeing them in the water at the beach all the time, and people were literally walking there with a fine net and catching them. Not anymore though, waters are more polluted and they've been overfished I guess.

- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoAll animals are essentially worms with some appendages here and there. Might want to avoid them too.
