The Case for Entomophagy | Allison Bajada | TEDxVillanovaU

[@TheJasonmassia]

Allison Bajada, you are spectacularly open minded and intelligent, thank you for producing this video! I look forward to follow up videos perhaps about assorted insect recipes for North America or perhaps a video about how we can help inspire a society to change including a collection of benefits and suggestions for implementation.

If a single person could theoretically sort through a mountain of peanuts or cocoa beans by hand, its not "impossible" to have chocolate or peanut butter with 0% insects. Its just realistically impractical.

What about the feelings of the insects ??.. can vegans eat insects ??.

[@ThindiGee]

No, thanks, I stick with veganism. That also goes hand in hand with the compassion you mentioned. Bugs want to live, too. Plus, insects are victims of the current mass extinction as well, so maybe we should leave them and all the other animals alone.

[@nautkippenbout3100]

Doesn´t nature and everything it grows live too? Plants and trees and berries are not alive? I think they are and that those things should be living too as they provide nature and nature provides earth and thus us. So in the end there's nothing for us to eat? No! Just don't over consume, which is happening now unfortunately, and let everyone eat everything, as it's supposed to be. Be kind to earth, but don't limit yourself if you think we're not supposed to eat animals. We do. Animals eat animals.

[@nautkippenbout3100]

[@nHans]

If you want people to change their diets to solve socio-economic problems, then I have another suggestion for you: *Dogs.* They are edible, nutritious, and traditionally consumed in many countries outside America. More importantly, there are plenty of dogs readily available-unwanted creatures suffering in "shelters," who are going to be killed anyway. Why waste food?
