@hidden The crab, who walks and gazes in different directions, is clearly a primordial avatar of chaos. That's why the ancients applied its name, cancer, to diseases with veins that spread, which usurp the social order of the body just as postmodernism usurps the social order of western society. Far better is the lobster, who crawls with his back straight, who feels pain just like ... *sob* ... just as we feel pain at ... *more sobbing* ...

If there was a massive ecosystem above the grass dropping its detritus onto it, then it’d be comparable.

Do they? Even if that’s the case, I guarantee it’s not to the same extent at all.

I am a huge proponent of buying steers or like going co-op on steers with people, paying a good farmer to pasture them, then having your own steer butchered. Do it once a year and your freezer will be full of good food that you know where it comes from.

I saw an animal at auction once with forceps hanging out of her guts. I don't mean every farm every day but definitely every auction.

@MisterRogersSnapped @ai @hidden @mia @bot Right on, never went to an auction. I was helping Granddad in his metal shop as a job, rather than working the farm.

Every day occurrence. The dairy cows that go to the packing plant as hamburger and cheap steak are the most infested, infected animals I have ever seen, sickened by high protein feed and massive amounts of antibiotics.

@MisterRogersSnapped @ai @hidden @mia @bot It wasn't every day, diseases were normal, this animal looked like if it breathed too hard its abdominal wall would split and everything come falling out.

@MisterRogersSnapped @ai @bot @hidden @mia I remember the owners of the farm managed to get a cow that had a literal rotting hole in its' belly sold as food. I didn't eat beef for 10 years.

There isn't even an inspector. A buyer will hot shot a cow til it stands and takes 5 shaky steps then offer the broker a price. It costs less than the head shot and calling the glue-and-dog-food truck to come pick it up after an auction.

@MisterRogersSnapped @ai @hidden @mia @bot I grew up on cattlefarms. They get away with shit you would not believe. There's a reason I hunt every animal I eat, or know & trust the farmer personally enough that I would be comfortable with them babysitting my unconscious body during a Tier Eight Cultural Enrichment Event.

@MisterRogersSnapped @ai @hidden @mia @bot in my opinion, if the animal cannot enthusiastically kick your ass (or at least defy you for a moral victory,) or play fetch, it's not edible.

FDA rules that allow an animal to be called "ambulatory" and enter the food chain (rules created after mad cow disease happened) are that the animal can stand and take 5 steps under its own power.
Prior to the creation of the term "non-ambulatory disabled" as it pertains to cows they would drag non-walkers onto trucks with winches to fill beef packer contracts.
If you are eating meat from like WalMart or McDonald's you don't want to see what it looks like alive. It's all bad.

@bot @ai @hidden @mia They do, all fish that participate to any extent in filter feeding (way more than you realize) are active eaters of marine snow. Waste is a valuable ecological resource and everything that is capable of making use of it does so to the maximum extent. For example a great many mammals will eat their mother's poo in order to develop a coherent gut biome to enable digestion.
Crustaceous bottom feeding is not eating filth anymore than any other animal. They're primarily herbivores. The bulk of their diet is algae; plants. All other foods are secondary resources for most of the crustaceans humans eat. Their consumption of decaying matter is supplemental, except for those crabs that live in the aphotic zone, who also subsist to a large part on chemophyta vent bacteria.
It's the animals that live in the range of sewerage outlets that are the actual disease spreaders, they're making repeated trips to bacterial colonies that break the filth down into edible components to graze. Just like cows graze on grass that does the same thing, but in a way that is not necessarily harmful to humans due to the substrate grass dwelling on not generally consisting of human bodily waste, just industrial waste & carcinogenic/hermaphrodizing agricultural chemicals.
By all means don't eat them, industrially farmed crustaceans are often treated extremely poorly in terms of dietary intake to cut costs and fished crustaceans are generally taken in numbers far too great to sustain and spend days and days living in unfiltered tanks that allow ammonia and other chemicals & bacteria to accrue in their flesh.
But when it comes to a home farm, like the yabbies I grow with vegitables and offcuts from meat, they're probably cleaner than any meat you'd buy at your local grocery despite looking ugly.
This is the true problem with industrially produced invertebrates as food: They will be fed noxious bullshit and accrue harmful chemicals like plastic and roundup in their tissues at slightly higher concentrations. It's a very good stance to refuse to eat bugs who's origin is not crystal clear. Just like every other animal or plant.

@bot @ai @hidden @mia Remember most big herbivores are eating large quantities of Mechanically Reclaimed Meat, which is a primary transmission vector for the prion diseases that cause brain damage in humans, among other illnesses. The animal product industrial complex is more evil & hates you more than you could ever know. Even "cruelty free" or "free range" animals are probably fed shit you would not consider eating if you'd gone two weeks without food. Reclaimed meat is also disproportionately likely to contain the chemical filth an animal has consumed, because it's skeletal muscle, tendons, and organs.
Remember to always source your meat from hunters, home farmers & responsible butchers you trust and will prove their sources, or the industrial complex will make you into a meat clown.
