    Also other than the inherent disgust to bug there is also the fact that since bugs are so small animals they can’t be cleaned and separeted to different parts of the animal. This means that part of what you eat is the intestines of the animal with all the fecal matter in it.

    I simply don’t want shit (or processed shit) in my food. Is that too big of an ask?

          Oh absolutely. That’s why I said “a lot of seafood” and not all seafood.

          As a kid I was grossed out by ‘the black line’ on shrimp/prawns but these days I don’t care.

          I guess wiping baby butts and picking up my dog’s crap has made me a bit more tolerant of these things. :D

        Most fish, shrimp, lobster are prepared so that you aren’t eating the intestines. The closest seafood-with-intact-intestines I can think of off the top of my head that makes it to the table is crawfish, and de-veining them is a part of the eating process

          Honestly I think every time I’ve had shrimp, the vast majority have still had the vein.

          King prawns are a bit different - at least they’re large enough for deveining to be practical.

      The industrial beef slaughterhouses don’t exactly have a pristine track record of keeping shit out of the market either.

        Still by the nature o these animals being bigger it is practicality easier to separate the different parts. With everithing else being equal. No matter how bad it is, it is going to be less than 100% of the initial shit ammount unlike with the bugs wich I’ll imagine are being crushed whole.
