I'm not personally vegetarian nor vegan. But it's something I've been giving some though to lately.
I'd like to know what's the trigger for most people? Why did you become vegetarian / vegan?
If I'm honest with myself I don't really care about the suffering of the animals. I see it as a natural thing for some animals (us) to eat other animals. However, I can admit that the meat industry is kind of out of control. We consume way more meat than it's healthy and all the meat production has severe environmental repercussions (gas emissions, water consuption, etc).
I don't see myself quitting meat for good anytime soon, but I'm trying to have a more responsible consumption. I had always heard that insects had a lot of protein. And in my research I've found out that they are actually making cricket flour these days. Apparently is very efficient to produce (compared to meat).
Now my question... Even if crickets and other insects are animals, do you give a crap about them? Would you consider eating them if you are vegetarian / vegan?
I don't think that insect protein will substitute meat, but I don't think it's a novelty either.
I'd love to know what your stand is in this topic.
