Jan 19th, 2015: Vegan's Savior
How do you know someone's a vegan? Just wait, they'll tell you. ba-dum-tss
It's funny because it's true, however once you get past the ones who are bandwagon jumpers and bragging, there's more to it. The rest are either the PETA camp whining about animal cruelty, or people who have actually read the evidence, and want to explain the many health benefits. Since most people's eyes glaze over when anyone tells the about a healthier lifestyle, even(especially?) if it's their doctor, these folks usually throw in some be-good-to-the-Earth stuff to keep your attention. The fly (stop it) in their ointment is the difficulty, the work involved, in buying and preparing veggies to get enough protein. Well, here she comes to save the day! Katharina Unger is on the way!

Now you know after this becomes the rage, the capitalists will jump in with both feet, trying to become your Black Soldier Fly Egg supplier. And don't forget items like Black Soldier Fly Larvae Helper. Yes Rodney, we can all get along.

Maybe it saves vegans who fall off the bandwagon from going beyond the point of no return.

are they considering that the larvae are freely giving themselves to be eaten? So they'd actually fit in with a fruitarian diet? Or are we just interpreting vegans as people who don't approve of the farming of cute animals who appear regularly in story books?

It has more to do with the practical considerations of doing the greatest good for animals as a whole. Take a look at this article by a self described longtime vegan and vegan advocate:

Dietary vegans, ovo-lacto vegetarians, ethical vegans, and environmental vegans, all eschew animal protein as in sweet yummy bacon.
The larvae will give them lots of protein without molesting animals, their common goal. I don't even know what he hell a fruitarian is.

The funny thing is I was going to design one of these things to automatically feed chickens. It is apparently pretty common in dirty hippie circles. Great design though if it wasn't bugs I'd eat what was produced in such a tidy way.

Seems reasonable. Most vegans seem to have a bug up their ass anyway.

If we aren't to eat meat, why then do we have incisors, canines (teeth) and premolars.
Eventually, we would only have molars and no front jaws. Pardon me, we are omnivores, we have always been omnivores and I intend to stay that way. So there. |

We are obviously capable of being omnivores, but the question is not whether we can, but what we ought. On that, the science is in.

Cattle and sheep have no upper incisors which is why they can't bite off anything. They use the lower incisors to rip vegetation like you'd tear off a piece of waxed paper. Cattle have no canine teeth, and while the sheep's outside set of incisors are called canines they are hardly capable of ripping anything tougher than grass. Both cattle and sheep have premolars and molars which are strictly for chewing and grinding, because they are too far back in their mouth to bite anything. Oh, and weresheep? Only Gromit can see them, so no worry there.
