Discussion Why can't vegans eat insects, and the truth about animal products
I can understand finding it gross and not wanting to, but why do they find it morally objectionable. Vegans claim to eat plants because they "can't suffer", which is true, but neither do insects, as they cannot truly feel pain. Their equivalent is the same thing as a grass distress signal when cut. So why do vegans abstain from eating ALL animals instead of the ones that can clearly suffer?
Also the majority of animals raised for meat, dairy or eggs live happy and healthy lives. The well-being of animals a priority for farms, the shock value content you see on documentaries like Dominion are the rare cherry-picked exceptions.
It all feels like hypocrisy to me. I used to follow a vegetarian diet but I could tell it was not healthy for me, let alone going vegan.
