Eating the bugs? (m.youtube.com)

Honestly I haven't tried it but I wouldn't mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

Nah I can't do supplements, and the B12 in nutritional yeast isnt naturally occuring. Some microorganisms do produce B12 but not the ones they use to make nooch. I know, I was surprised to.

I did some more research though, and I do have a source of B12. Remember I said I was using seaweed for fertilization?

Boom: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11430774/

I can just eat the seaweed. 😂

In fact, it appears my people have a long history of eating seaweed: https://www.wildwalks-southwest.co.uk/all-about-laverbread/ (didn't know that existed!)

So I guess I'll go vegan. You win. The crickets will be disappointed that they're getting evicted but I'm sure they'll get over it.

I'm going to go 6 months eating just seaweed and potatoes, while doing blood work to check my nutrient levels. I'll let you know if I don't die 😅. Thanks for all your help.

Haha yeah, I love seaweed. Didn't know it had B12 in it. I think it also has some good omega fats too.

Wow, well I hope it goes well for you! I think this Is a first for me. Lemmy really is a better place.

Have a good weekend 😊. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

It legitimately looks like the satire went over Nora's head and made a woosh sound
