Are insects vegan approved ?

>> No.10998255

Since they are killed everytime a vegan drives a car down a road im assuming the vegans will make a pass in their morals just like they make a pass about all of the rabbits, mice and birds killed when producing their vegetables and fruits. You see, vegans are hypocrites.

No, and that's proof that vegans really have no reason to hold to their diet besides "my feels".

Insects are a fantastic protein source, they have minimal environmental impact, and it is impossible to make any logical argument that they're capable of suffering when farmed and/or killed.

It's a parasitic fungus that infects and petrify certain insects until a sprout grows out of them and releases new spores. There's probably some actual health benefits to it since it's been used in Chinese medicine and their Olympic athletes consume them as a supplement

>Insects are a fantastic protein source, they have minimal environmental impact, and it is impossible to make any logical argument that they're capable of suffering when farmed and/or killed.

Pain is one of the most basic sensations required by any sentient being in order to survive as a species. With no sensation of pain, you get hurt and die. How do you propose that insects have survived through millions of years without being able to avoid physical danger? Pure luck?
There's your logical argument.

>> No.11002356

>>11002349
Pain processing is much different than pain sensation, especially in such a less developed nervous system, and in humans and greater animals there is an emtional component to pain perception that insects and lower animals lack. You're right in thinking that an animal that couldn't feel pain would die out as a species almost immediately, but pain perception is much more nuanced.

Veganism is not perfect, and the sustaining of one life necessitates - to some degree - the taking of other living beings. Veganism is a way to minimize this damage.
Eating a pound of beef requires ten times the farmland required for producing a pound of vegetables. Therefore when eating meat, you have the killing of both the animal itself and all the rabbits, mice and birds that get killed in the production of the food for the livestock.
As a vegan you are only responsible for the animals killed during production of the vegetables. The production area is a tenth of that required for meat, therefore a vegan will probably be responsible for a tenth of the deaths.

Going vegan minimizes the pain and suffering necessary for sustaining life. It's not perfect, but it's better than eating a carnivore diet.
