minus-squareMDCCCLV@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·4 hours agoThey’re different enough by size and their habitat that we don’t encounter them as primates so logically we don’t have any reason to have an aversion instinct. Regular insects can be poisonous or parasites but these don’t really look like insects.

minus-squareBroadfern@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·13 hours agoYeah it’s this. We don’t eat the shells/outsides of lobster (at least most probably don’t). I don’t want to eat exoskeleton.

Yeah but they’re molluscs.
