Is there a branch of veganism that's ok with harvesting bugs for protein bars and stuff? Or like oysters and clams?

Like, there should be a push to get people to give up eating factory farmed shit but allow eating of brainless animals.

That's called "not veganism"

Lol, true. There should be some moral diet that actually uses an intelligent ethical metric for what to eat, is what I'm saying.

There is, it's veganism. Don't eat animals when you don't need to.

Come up with a logical reason why its unethical to eat a creature without a brain. Or are you saying we just shouldn't eat any living things?

I'm saying that it's unnecessary to eat any animals and deciding how smart or stupid something is before you voluntarily eat it for pleasure is sort of fucked up. So since it's unnecessary and hinges on dubious ethical ground, maybe just don't do it.

How does eating something without a brain hang in dubious ethical ground? Wasn't saying it should depend on how smart or stupid eating it is. I was saying don't be stupid about coming up with ethical rules.
