Meaty?
The gas lighting is real
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.
Gaslighting is when I like something that you don't
Claiming bugs have meat
Ah, so you're treating your intuition like it's universal fact and then claiming to be the victim of gaslighting when someone disagrees. Have a great life!
Because they aren't meaty at all lol
Well I don't care for propaganda sites. 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
Okay, insecty then whatever you want to call it
tell it to the frogs
They have more meat than an insect tho
