Why are people so stupid?

Post Reply New Topic

hey now, i don't start my sentences with capital letters either.

does that make me a lesser human?

I don't even like eating crabs or lobsters. I don't the taste or smell, all that salty liquid that gushes out, and I do find them a little too similar to insects or arachnids.

I'm not supposed to dislike it because I'm Nova Scotian, but that's just a stereotype.

I can't remember which local grocery store I was in when I saw them, but one of the major chain stores here carries roasted crickets. I think a bag was around $8-12 something like that. I didn't pick any up because I was hesitant to buy a big bag just in case I ate a few and hated the taste.. but now I think next time I see them I'll grab a bag just to satisfy my curiosity about how they taste. They really are a great source of protein with an ultra low environmental impact compared to meat. The hemp seeds I eat are probably even better, though.. complete protein straight from a plant source - the shortest chain from Sun to food.
