[+] Shiki@lemmy.world -6 points 2 years ago (1 child) Almost like they have actual meat on them? Trying to gaslight into "eat the bugs" isn't going to work permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ox0r@jlai.lu 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) They're pretty much all meat? Bugs aren't empty. Chill out man I'm not trying to convince anyone, I do think the double standards are pretty stupid. I never ate a tarantula but I'm sure its pretty meaty. Also everyone uses gas lighting in different contexts so I think the word should be banned. I don't have a clue anymore what it is supposed to mean. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] moody@lemmings.world 4 points 2 years ago When I was in Cambodia, I saw street vendors frying up tarantulas, with lots of locals gathering around for snacks. I'm not sure I'm ready to eat that, but they seemed to like it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Shiki@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (4 children) Meaty?

I know "eat the bugs" is currently pretty high up. But again, using the term "meaty" to describe a tarantula where the most you will eat is the exoskeleton is just bad faith permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago You do understand that the stuff inside the exoskeleton doesn't just evaporate, right? permalink fedilink source parent [–] ox0r@jlai.lu 2 points 2 years ago Okay, insecty then whatever you want to call it permalink fedilink source parent [–] WorldWideLem@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Well how are you defining meat? Terrestrial insect meat and crab or lobster meat is structurally pretty much the same. It's all muscle fibers. The big difference is that you can't really extract the insect meat like you would with a crab, so you're stuck eating the whole thing, meat and everything else, which is probably where a lot of the apprehension comes from. And to be fair I think that's a pretty big difference. A lot of cultures try to avoid eating "everything else" up and down the food chain. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) tell it to the frogs permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Shiki@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago They have more meat than an insect tho permalink fedilink source parent
