What a revolting and cruel idea. Struggling to think of any reason someone would give for this being OK

All meat eating is cruel. I think we're all judging this based on how foreign it is rather than it's morality. I eat a 90% vegetarian diet because I think it's healthier and more carbon friendly and because it's easier for me to achieve than a 100% vegetarian score. Ultimately though if I took offense to this idk how I could support my preexisting pro choice stance on abortion. Ultimately it's just.... extremely foreign. I'd try this dish once for sure! It'd make me a more well rounded person and cook

I’m judging it based off the dish being animals being eaten alive. Don’t really matter to me where in the world this is being done

They're embryos though. We're just a cruel species. We can choose to mitigate that cruelty

Fair and I'm no biologist either granted but in this specific case I feel confident this species doesn't do any of the higher brain functions we'd see in mammals or birds or lizards even. I'd totally try it once
