      Global warming killing off massive populations of livestock doesn’t care.

      You will eat bugs; you already eat bugs. What percentage do you think is in your vegetables you eat, breakfast cereals, snack foods and other processed foods you buy?

      Do you seriously think the factories that mass produce your food actually spend the money to fucking process your food in sterile clean rooms?

        Accidentally eating a bug here and there is a bit different than scarfing down a bowl of centipedes, just saying.

      Why? Because they’re bugs? You probably consume yogurt and cheese. Did you know cheese is made with the gut bacteria from a cow? You like rotten gut milk. You probably also enjoy slave labor food.

      Why draw a line at bugs lol? Not enough suffering involved?

          No I think it is petty and I find it extremely annoying as someone who handles food regularly the silliness people have about what is acceptable and what is not in terms of ingredients like this.

          Make pigs suffer but bugs are ewwy? Grow up

          You likely consume plenty of bug parts in your fruits and veggies and other plant-based products. Non-consentually.

            Theres a difference between inperfect food prep, and intentionally eating a bowl of bugs.

      I had to eat bug’s once I survival training. It’s disgusting. That’s the only time I’d eat a bug again
