I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.
Non-alarmist answer: tastes can change over time for no real reason. Some mild reasons it could change is pallet fatigue, prep and cook time seeming not worth it and so you crave it less, and changes in overall perception. A person who is slowly becoming vegan for moral or health reasons will naturally stop wanting certain meat products.
Alarmist answer: I don't know man. You've probably got some weird cancer or something.
Increasingly alarmist answer: you’ve heard about eyestalk ablation and it’s subconsciously ruining your enjoyment of farmed shrimp
Maybe it's because you now know they are bugs
Fixing the bugs
I don't eat cereal without milk, so why would I eat my bugs without saltwater.
You should try it, I like the crunch
The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.
It's almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish
fish aren’t even real
You're a fish
Tell yourself what er you need to in order to enjoy that crawfish.
I'll tell myself it's juicy and delicious
Ignorance is bliss
Oh, I know exactly where my food lives on the tree of life
Somewhere in your lower bowel after a good dinner
dont need to tell anything just need to eat it
i Don't eat cereal without bugs, why would i eat my Water without Them?
I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.

take it back
They're different enough by size and their habitat that we don't encounter them as primates so logically we don't have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don't really look like insects.
Unlimited soup, salad, and stickbugs.
Yeah it’s this. We don’t eat the shells/outsides of lobster (at least most probably don’t). I don’t want to eat exoskeleton.
Yeah, chitin is really hard to digest and sensitive stomachs will have issues.

Are we suggesting that Scorpion would taste similar to lobster?
You'll have to ask Reptile.
They’re different, scorpion isn’t as sweet as lobster meat.
I think I read somewhere that tarantulas taste like shrimp
one side takes regular baths.
Shrimps are fuckin pointy
Shrimps are pretty rich
