• These Pictures Might Tempt You To Eat Bugs
    106 replies, posted
I could stand the grubs. Yeah they might be gooey but fuck, so are marshmellows. They'd go down easy too. I cannot eat chitinous insects. I might be able to stand the crickets if you strip off the legs and wings, I mean for fucks sake look at the legs they still have the barbs. That's what I hate. Also the spider just looks like a facehugger, not helping. I'm not an arachnophobic but that's just unappealing and unnatural looking. Bugs can be cool and I can respect all the other countries that eat them daily but I'm glad that in the west we're raised that bugs are just tiny annoying little assholes that will probably kill you because thats what they are. 99% of animals have no problem staying the fuck away from you but bugs are adamant about flying into your face stinger first, shitting all over your food, or appearing in your house.

[QUOTE=Cone;41516789]see i don't know about you guys but i don't particularly like to eat things that are the same shade of green as baby vomit and rotting corpses.[/QUOTE] I dunno, that looks more like a chili verde sauce to me and generally, mexican foods with "verde" in the name are pretty good

If someone else took a bite first I would maybe consider it. But the idea of me eating those green grub-looking things makes me feel like vomiting.
[QUOTE=hypno-toad;41527009] Veganism is not about what is sensible or humane to eat[/QUOTE] Uh, yeah it is? Veganism is about rejecting the exploitation of sentient animals
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41528022]Uh, yeah it is? Veganism is about rejecting the exploitation of sentient animals[/QUOTE] Some people don't eat meat because they genuinely don't like the taste of it y'know. I know that's probably the minority but it shouldn't be ignored.
Imagine forcing an arachnophobe to eat the spider.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41528022]Uh, yeah it is? Veganism is about rejecting the exploitation of sentient animals[/QUOTE] no not really you just don't eat animals or animal products. my diet is practically vegan due to medical reasons. [editline]20th July 2013[/editline] but yeah it's like putting a really nice dress and some makeup on a 50 year old so-worn-out-shes-practically-a-skidmark-whore and saying THIS DRESS AND MAKEUP JUST MIGHT MAKE YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND. [editline]20th July 2013[/editline] the fact that something with multiple chintinkerous legs and compound eyes with veiny wings is sitting on my fucking plate has not changed
[QUOTE=Mr._N;41516708][video=youtube;GZkhpRfqsI0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZkhpRfqsI0[/video][/QUOTE] That video made me in the end watch a 47 minute documentary about the forging process of traditional japanese katanas. Im not sure how but I loved it
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41528022]Uh, yeah it is? Veganism is about rejecting the exploitation of sentient animals[/QUOTE] Veganism is just about avoiding animal products entirely. Most people's motivation is rejecting the exploitation of animals, but that's not part of the ideology.
[QUOTE=aznz888;41516696]i'd eat bugs once they stopped looking like bugs like seriously the only reason i refuse to eat them is because of the fact that i can recognize them as creepy crawlies their appearance is 99% of their gross factor[/QUOTE] the same can really be said about most dead things we eat.
We should like, deep fry bugs I'd eat deep fried bugs
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
