Why are so many people averse to eating bugs when they already eat crabs, lobsters, and shrimp? They are arthropods after all.

Because people are uncomfortable with eating animals and want to go vegan, it's the lifestyle equivalent of people shitting on asexuals when they dont have sex that much either

Context and setting. An autist such as yourself may have a difficult time understanding these concepts. While you cooly rationalize your anthropod argument for yourself, most people make decisions based on feeling and comfort level. I’m sorry, this wasn’t what you wanted to hear.

Nobody eats an entire lobster or crab. The reason they’re prepared at all is because they have large pockets of meat that can be processed and eaten separately. Grasshoppers, cicadas, or any other bug do not have this and need to be eaten whole.

It's not about the look, it's about the taste. They are completely different.

Yes, I have tried both.

Going by videos I've seen of people eating tarantulas they taste just like crab.

CRABS AND LOBSTERS HAVE MEAT, SUCCULENT HUNKS OF FLESH

INSECTS ARACHNIDS ETC DO NOT HAVE FLESHY MUSCLES TO EAT, AKA MEAT. THEY ARE LITERALLY EXOSKELETONS FILLED WITH GREEN/YELLOW PUS.

Exactly. I'm not hiding in the jungle from the commies in Cambodia, so that I'd have to pick out and eat crunchy, pus-filled insects straight from a rotten log to reduce starvation.

>>14000194
When the billionaires who pedal this shit for social brownie points start getting their personal chefs to put insects on their family table instead of meat, I might at least respect the idea. There's nothing I hate more than hypocrisy from a class of people who secretly believe themselves to be god-like gifts to the lowly masses; who think that they have a duty to prophecise to the plebs because they know better, of course (they succeeded with those businesses, so of course they know better about everything). Meanwhile they eat the best food cooked for them with fresh ingredients, have full health checks and the best personal trainers.

if they came from clean farms I'd definitely eat bats and rats to at least try them.
I personally feel that the only gross part of a lot of the wet market shit is just that they're wild animals that slut around getting sick and full of gross little parasites.
