What if I told you... that billions of earthworms are killed every year through tilling the soil for the production of vegan foods? You ignorant Commies claim that ALL animals should not be eaten, while callously murdering billions of these beautiful little creatures. I keep a bucket of them (a bucket of soil and a couple of worms) as a sort of pet, an extension of my lifelong interest in bug-catching. With care, they will grow to over a foot long and will live for 30 years.
The Vietnamese eat earthworms. They sell spicy, crunchy earthworms out of baskets in the street markets. They are quite tasty when prepared right, actually. They rinse out their insides when placed in water, then they can be boiled and deep-fried to produce something much like chicharrones. They are low in cholesterol and high in Omega-3 fatty acids, like Salmon. It's even a type of red meat and a great source of iron, since annelids are red-blooded creatures with hearts and vascular systems.
I admire the Vietnamese. We should learn from them.
Humans cannot survive without some sort of animal protein, such as bugs. Plants do not make vitamin B12. It is only present within the animal kingdom. Ancient vegetarians did not have modern food preservation, so their vegetable food automatically provided vitamin B12 via the grubs and such in it. Modern veganism does not work, because the food is too clean. It is not the same as the insect and plant based diet of the ancient vegetarians, which is what actually works.
If seafood is preferred, edible sea molluscs like oysters are larger than land molluscs (slugs, snails), but are the same as all the other bugs for the purposes of ethics and nutrition. Oysters are a brilliant food source, being perhaps the best known natural source of calcium (from the shells and the pearls) in addition to the other dietary benefits from being a bug.
Veganism is not internally-consistent, since it must always kill insects, but disallows the eating of insects. So it is false by internal contradiction. For your health, please incorporate land bugs or oysters into your diet. All of the scientific literature says that the various bugs our ancestors learned to eat are nutritionally ideal. That, along with the fish, they are the best food available.
Most Conservatives do not think of bugs as food, but the survivalists definitely do.
The Conservatives have the best dietary advice. The Communists peddle in expensive moralistic vegan fad-foods that sicken their followers with B vitamin deficiency. Conservatives usually eat meat, and so do not suffer from B vitamin deficiency. Also, they say soy messes with human sex hormones. Tree nuts and legumes other than soy are a much better and healthier source of plant protein. As you know, kidney beans or what have you combined with a cereal grain such as oats produces a complete protein source. Tofu is bland and retarded. Rice and beans is much better.
Join the Conservatives. Our food is better. You will be healthier. Don't be a post-modern purist vegetarian. Be a classical vegetarian with a diet of plants and insects.
