You can have an allergy to any food, others are allergic to peanuts, strawberries or beef. It is an individual problem that does not prevent including shrimps or grasshoppers in the diet of people who like them. Things of custom and tradition. But the offer is one thing and the obligation to eat them is another, which does not exist.

Oh, I know that. I don't have any real complaint about the movement, was more mocking people like Alex Jones getting bent out of shape over ir. However, it's so suggested as protein replacement in futurology, and for a greener future. I'm all for that (and despite not being vegan, I support veggie protein/synthetic meat options too) but I'm just worried about diminished options for myself. I wouldn't put my wants over others needs though, so if it comes down to it having a smaller dietary choices is what I'll have to do, and I've done it before (eggs were a favorite of mine but I developed an allergy to them about a year or two ago.)
