I'm happy to eat bugs. Lobsters are basically bugs.

Don't conflate the ecologically sustainable practice of bug-eating with American fascist secret service bullshit.

Lobsters are basically bugs

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I find it disgusting to eat animals like shrimp or lobster because they look too similar to insects to me.

100% They look like bugs because that’s what they are. Just bottom feeding arthropods, the cockroaches of the sea.

That said, I love lobster and shrimp.

Fun fact: pill bugs are terrestrial crustaceans. They even have gills.

That's all fine and well, but how many tens of thousands of pill bugs am I going to have to shell to make a decent snack?

Do you count the grains of rice or amount of noodles it currently takes?

If not then, why now?
