The lengths people will go to in order to avoid eating a plant based diet are insane.
There's nothing wrong with eating bugs; its normal in certain parts of the world and its a good source of protein.
Problem: farming animals is inefficienct, cruel, expensive, and destroying the earth which gives us life life
Solution 1: learn to cook dhal
eww no veggies, I am 12 and refuse to eat them
solution 2: convince the arrogant fussy and cruel hedonist that rejected 1 to eat crickets?
solution 3: keep all of the horror of farming but make it marginally more efficient?
Mmm yay, pigs screaming in terror while they die in gas chambers makes me hungries.
I have found that practical solutions are rarely all or nothing, personally.
Are you against eating meat from a consequentialist perspective, or a deontological one? In my opinion, less meat eaten is better - better for the environment, and less money going into cruel practices around slaughtering animals, etc - even if the reasons for it are varied and not strictly from a standard of moral duty.
Everyone is a consequentialist these days it seems. Assume consequentialism until proven otherwise
