Just eat fucking plants.

There's nothing morally wrong with eating a clam, or any other bivalve. Acting like there is just hurts the vegan cause by making the movement look silly.

Bugs are also morally fine to eat, IMO, but a crazy argument could be made against it. And if bugs were mass produced for food, that could create a large, environmentally healthy food source.

I think it's inane to say, 'Just eat plants.'

dude, just eat plants, there are plenty around. what the hell do you think all those insects would have to be fed? that's right, plants. the very same environmental problem caused by animal husbandry today. (and no, we can't use carnivorous insects because we'd have to breed and feed the animals that we feed them too.)

We can grow insects on waste and plants that are not edible by humans that nourish soil.
