The right wing panic* over how the left wants to destroy hamburgers and make everyone eat bugs is hilarious. You already eat bugs and you love it, you just call them shrimp and lobster!

If you want to say that doesn’t count, you STILL probably eat bugs in any processed food that’s red and doesn’t have artificial dye in it. They’re listed as cochineal/carmine/crimson lake/natural red 4/E120 <- these are all the same bug!

* not saying that’s what you’re doing OP, that’s just the most common context I see it

They're just also in anything processed. Everything has an allowable amount of bugs. And it isn't usually 0. https://www.fda.gov/food/current-good-manufacturing-practices-cgmps-food-and-dietary-supplements/food-defect-levels-handbook

As long as food is processed correctly either through farm animals or a lab I really don't care what it is. Actual health should be the only priority above any profits or ambiguity.
