What science says about plant-based diets (Vegan)

[veoli]

There were insects (crushed) in turkish delight packets in a local health-foods store in my town.  Forgotten the exact number but you can find them in the ingredients labelled CI345, or something along those lines.

We don't have them in stores here, at least not stores I frequent. I have eaten hoppers, crickets, bees, ants, scorpions and meal worms but those were all in novelty foods or speciality restaurants. Each were OK except meal worms. I know I've eaten a few on accident back when I used to two wheel. BTW, in the US, there are FDA limits for the allowable percentage for insect parts in non insect food. I think mostly grains.

I guess my point was, if your vegan/vegetarian for altruistic or environmental reasons, is there a line that you won't cross or where do you the line drawn? Eggs, insects, worms, any animal product/by-product?

Damn! What did they all taste like? Particularly scorpions, haha.

Yeah, I think I read somewhere about insect-limit.

I've been a veggie on/off for about 6 years now and will eat eggs. But tend to make sure they are free range.
