"The current state of the meat industry is unquestionably evil."
This is correct but humans remain omnivores. The meat industry is evil because of greed. I have financed an "insects as food" R&D project for over 18 months now and I still don't want to eat insects... I will this winter as we move into the transformation phase (in the test kitchen) but I look forward to the completion of our own custom Soylent formula more LOL A vegan diet is very expensive and out of reach of more than half the population who is targetted by 99 cent burgers made of tortured beef. I too wonder if consuming tortured animals has a negative effect on our collective psyche. Not everybody can grow their own meat or go hunting but it will help that those of us who are maximally advantaged in life document the process so it's less daunting for others. Growing insects is within reach of anyone with 4 square feet on space and 40$.
Because I don't want to be a weak sickly stick with various food-related deficiencies. But I do grow much more vegetables than insects or animals. OMNIvorism...
Oh look, a 98 year old practicing surgeon, who happens to be vegan. Gee I can't work out who has better medical comprehension, them or a partially automated voat user. Hmm.... Tough.

Why the hell would you eat insects when you can eat delicious vegetable based foods?
