You can if you refuse to eat food containing DNA.

??? You can what? No one said anything about refusing to eat food containing DNA.

Be protein deficient.
I was referencing a recent study where people when polled wanted food containing DNA to be labeled. My link is to an article about how that poll was silly.

Thanks for that. The conclusion was reasonable: that people, when confronted with a question formulated so as to be ridiculous, answer the more reasonable question they assume you meant to ask.
All of which is still to say that North Americans are in no danger of being protein deficient, vegan or non-vegan.

The topic of insects wasn't really brought up as a supplement for protein deficiency; rather, as a protein substitute for plants to reduce the collateral damage to other animals that occurs when raising and harvesting crops.

Agreed, that current farming methods are harmful ... both the despicable treatment of most animals destined for grocery stores, and the cultivation of feed crops for factory-farmed animals. There's a better solution than farming black soldier fly larvae (or any other insects) for human consumption, though.

Of course, everyone knows that we should be eating our dead.

Cattle and sheep have no upper incisors which is why they can't bite off anything. They use the lower incisors to rip vegetation like you'd tear off a piece of waxed paper. Cattle have no canine teeth, and while the sheep's outside set of incisors are called canines they are hardly capable of ripping anything tougher than grass. Both cattle and sheep have premolars and molars which are strictly for chewing and grinding, because they are too far back in their mouth to bite anything. Oh, and weresheep? Only Gromit can see them, so no worry there.

On an individual level, it's an entirely different story. I know what works best for my one body, personally, and I don't give a shit what vegans or bacon-lovers or anyone else thinks I "should" be eating. |

I think I'd like to study your body more closely... Uh, for scientificical like stuff... yeah, that's it, for the good of the species. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Good for species morale, no doubt, but I think it's safe to day that my genetic contribution to the species is iffy at best. But I'm all for raising, ah, morale.

Some things are better attributed to creationism like if God didn't intend for man to eat pussy, he wouldn't have made it look like a taco.
