    The fact they are £1.50 for a pack tells me that the only ****s eating them are hipster dipshits who don’t ‘conform to conventional snack’
    **** off and buy a sausage roll

    Never tried them and never will, I imagine it's the same as the French stuff (snail & frogs legs) they are edible but that's it and they are not very nice.

    Nothing like snails or frogs legs. More like a cross between prawns and chicken. (locusts are anyway)

    We have to remeber that this stuff is the daily diet of millions of people around the world.

    I don't mean taste wise I mean the whole concept of eating something so bang average that it's not worth it. If I absolutely had to I'd eat them but never by choice.

    oh do **** off with your vegan propaganda BS, a cows job is to turn grass into meat, that's it's role in nature, and it takes far less resources to get nutrition from a cow than it does from lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes etc.

    I'm not a vegan. And it actually takes vastly more resources in land, both in farming cows etc and needing the land to grow crops to feed them, than it does to grow food for human consumption. We're better off eating fish to be honest, as long as we don't deplete fish stocks.

    So **** you :emoticon-0172-mooni

    what about all the land upon which it is impossible to cultivate crops, but which supplies enough natural sustainance for herd animals can live off, like large swathes of South Wales? Why are you ignoring that? And duck can be raised in rice paddies, with the 'side-effect' of needing less chemicals for pest control as the pests are what the ducks eat.
    Or are you simply using the American beef industry as the be all and end all of meat production, which is S.O.P. for vegan propaganda BS.
    Either him, his missus or someone close, as he's using the usual BS rhetoric, probably try and tell me it's healthy as well

    So how do you think those animals that are raised on land where you can't cultivate crops are fed ? It's possible to have purely pasture fed cattle, but those cattle in South Wales don't just survive on the grass in those fields. Most animals reared for meat are fed on grains, seeds, soy etc. So you need land to raise them and land to grow crops to feed them. Also How many ducks that are sold as meat have you seen raised in rice paddies ?

    The point I'm making (and I'm not vegan, I eat beef) is that people squirm in disgust at eating insects, but don't really stop to consider the impact that eating meat has. As I've said, I eat meat, but not loads of it. It's our obsession with mass consumption of meat that leads to deforestation to grow crops and rear cattle etc.
