- ralusek 7y agoIt's both exactly like eating bugs and nothing like eating bugs. It's exactly like eating bugs in that crustaceans are actually related to bugs, but nothing like eating bugs in the sense that the "grossest part" of eating bugs is that the whole thing is consumed; eyeballs, organs, brains, poop, shell, etc.
