pescatarianism is ok

Just for kicks & giggles - I found a nutritional table for several types of creepie-crawlie: http://www.ent.iastate.edu/misc/insectnutrition.html

I know from my child/teen-hood that the following are... well, not gross?
mealworms (my son had these at his Fear Factor birthday party a year ago)
crickets (he had these too... and LOVED them!)
locusts
a candy-coated caterpillar & some sort of peanut-butter deep-fried spider (these were brought back from Africa)
and various garden-variety ants & worms.

I guess... y'know I think I COULD try insects again! Maybe.

i agree!

and insects are living creatures as well..vegetarians wouldn't eat insects

 

I don't care if it lived on land or water, outerspace, in the cavaties of your gaping mangina, I don't see the difference in eating stuff because it lived somewhere else or it's a different size makes it ok, it doesn't.

 

^ That Hits The Nail On The Head

 

Oh, and I do agree with y'all. I promise that if I decide to start munching bugs I'll be sure to tell people I'm an insectivore & not a vegetarian.

I also don't think it's likely. The thought is intriguing every once in awhile, but... yeah, I don't think I could honestly "go there" anymore. The boys dared me to eat a cricket at DS' birthday, and I just couldn't stomach the thought... even though I HAVE eaten them before, I couldn't do it!

that makes sense..LOL..and insectavore...too weird.
