Hard truth

Chicken.

Tbh this is why I don't like eating lobster or crab. I just can't get over the fact that they look like giant sea beetles and it grosses me out. So many people love them but I just can't do it.

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

Shrimp as well. It's weird and for me the flavor isn't good enough to justify eating weird crunchy sea bugs

[ifitwasuptome@lemmy.ca]

Crunchy? You aren’t supposed to eat the shell

[skyezopen@lemmy.world]

Moist crunch, not hard crunch. Like grapes I guess. It's gross.

Lol yeah I had to figure out that Google Image Search has an option to search for images with transparency. Otherwise you have so many out there that are questionable.

[pyroneurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Any bits but the eyes, apparently.

The order Hemiptera would like a word with you.

Clearly the subject of the study is unfamiliar with “the stranger”

It's an ugly planet. A bug planet.

Also, ever eaten a shiny candy? Chances are is coated in confectioners glaze, which is a fancy word for shellac, which is an insect excretion.

Jeebus christ. That’s… horrible

Chocolate milk uses red algae as a stabilizer

There’s Seaweed in Your Milk! How Algae Drives Our Food System | School of Marine and Environmental Affairs

In elementary school, I remember being interrupted one day by a friend shouting “there’s seaweed in your milk!” as I happily sipped on my chocolatey drink. At the time, I dismissed the idea, thinking that my friend had been tricked into believing some silly story. There couldn’t possibly be seaweed in my chocolate milk–the idea was absurd! Decades later, I realized that not only was my childhood friend right about seaweed products in chocolate milk, but that the role of seaweed in our food system goes far beyond just this one tasty drink.

Maybe that's what the study is for

We'll all have to adjust to eating land bugs soon enough. Those of us who enjoy ocean bugs have a small headstart.

Fucked up man. Glad I became vegan

[sam_bass@lemmy.world]

So is crab and molluscs

[surewhynotlem@lemmy.world]

Wait until you hear what they do to pigs

[soggy@lemmy.world]

Remember the bug planet, Vegeta?

Tons of people happily eat insects too. Chapulines are pretty good, escamoles are popular, silk worm is eaten in Korea and Thailand, there's Witchetty grubs and honeypot ants...
