Is Eating Bugs Vegan?

One way for Europe to make it through the next couple winters is to start eating bugs.  It's the latest and greatest idea.  Very Woke.  But it is unlikely to increase business at Italian or French restaurants in North America.

Is the new food plan practical?  Maybe Europe has too many vegetarians and vegans to make this plan work. 

Maybe some EU regulator will have to issue a diktat that says that bug protein is not quite the same as 'meat' or animal flesh.  But won't this be seen as a semantic trick?

The EU regulators might be held back a couple years in distinguishing eating 6-legged insects from 8-legged spiders.  How can they officially certify the bugs as organic? Mores rules and regulations, more inspectors.

Of course, if the bugs 'identified' as plants...


I hardly ever use my camera anymore.  I should go back to photographing insects.  It is great fun.
