I will not eat the bugs
- histories 3y agoNo one's forcing you

- fnordian_slip 3y agoThere is a literal global organization trying to force us to eat bugs? Could we please not discuss ridiculous conspiracy theories on hn? Reddit is already infected with qanon an the like, we don't need that rubbish here. Thank you.
- londons_explore 3y agoYa know, red food dye for most of the 20th century was ground up bugs... The only reason we don't do it now was that it's kinda expensive compared to lab made dyes.

- pigpang 3y agoYou already eat crabs, crayfish, shrimp, and honey. Asian peoples also consume many other insects as food, which reduces the demand and price for Western food.
- iamacyborg 3y agoThere’s a world of difference between eating an insect and eating honey though.
- vinhcognito 3y agoNot much between a cockroach and a lobster though
- belorn 3y agoHas the shell, legs, head, intestine and organs been removed from the cockroach so that only the meat is left? I would like to see the machinery needed to replicate the edible part of a lobster abdomen (or tail as it is called) in a cockroach. The part that people generally eat on a lobster is the muscles of the claws and the muscles of the abdomen. The rest is generally discarded. It similar to how most people don't tend to eat the hair of cows, but rather the meat from cow muscles. I would claim that it is actually a large difference between eating a cockroach and a lobster.
