Wait until she finds out that some of the things we eat would also happily eat us if the opportunity presented itself.

Some others infact do after our death.

i was expecting Brock to grab the salt & pepper shaker & walk around Zylx and carefully shake a little on her shoulder muttering to himself: i wonder how delicious you are fried!

[@ninatiels]

More humans need to learn this. Many people will say a food is nasty without ever trying it. Even myself. We all have mental blocks we can’t get past.

[@puntabachata]

So, what do giant alien bugs eat?

Had a fun ride eating a ham and egg sandwich while listening to this

[@RexxRedfoxx]

Kinda reminds me of the reaction from some PETA idiots when they started screaming at me and my friends grilling hot dogs at a park. Should seen their faces when the one grilling said they were vegetarian hot dogs.

[@DanSchallerforPOTUS]

I missed something. Let me know where, in that story, it is that Humans ate alien food.

[@TheYpurias]

I mean what's funny is that compared to Earth anthropologist right now, the alien anthropologists are really backwards. They fit right in with the early 1900s.

[@AdmiralBison]

uhm... There are human Vegans, and hypothetically in the future most humans could be either Vegetarian or Vegan.

[@reneprovosty7032]

it is bad if you eat pineapple on pizza?

[@reneprovosty7032]

by the way it is okay if humans eat cheese. do better. we are mammals.

[@chroniclesofthecosmos3000]

That depends. Do you like pineapple?

[@reneprovosty7032]

@@chroniclesofthecosmos3000 well it is your darn pizza you paid for it if you want pineapple you get it.

[@buckshott00]

Yes. Yes it is.

[@carlfranz6805]

Not if you're Canadian. Yes, that pizza was invented in Canada.

[@MB-id2ok]

Its a round dish cut into triangles and stored in a square.

[@TheYpurias]

And sometimes it's cut into squares, and all these squares make a circle

[@loganshaw4527]

And the square boxes make a cube while holding.

[@loganshaw4527]

The same with the square slices if you want to be adventurous. They also make a cube.

[@williamlangford9118]

Sounds like a modern day vegan karen.

[@BrunoMaricFromZagreb]

I really want to know what the insectoid does with her own planet's nature.The way she talks makes it seem like there were no predators that hunted her species or other lifeforms.Where the hell is the problem.

[@markn1485]

Wow, a planet with only clones of 'That Vegan Teacher' living on it

[@andyfoshee2727]

I dunno, I think there's just one glaring fault with this story - otherwise it's a delight. An anthropologist is trained throughout their education to leave cultural bias behind as it completely invalidates any and all observations. An anthropologist must be what Robert A Heinlein would call a "fair witness". I know I'm being picky, and if I get over this one problem it really is a good story.
