Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But really, though, insects are a very sustainable source of nutrition, and pretty damn healthy.
Plus, when cooked right, they're delicious.
But we have literally no need to do it. Lab grown meat requires the same level of input as industrial cricket or worm farming per gram of protein and produces fat at the same time while being far more palatable.
There's no need to go back to famine era stone age practices to solve the ethical and environmental problems of meat eating.
Or we can simply eat beans, tofu or any of the dozens of plant protein sources. I don't get why people are so dead set on stuffing some animal part into their mouths.
Because it's tasty. Because we have a few million year history of eating it and it satisfies a deep itch in our consciousness.
The only issues with meat are the ethical concerns and the environmental issues, both of which are eliminated with lab meat. We get the taste without the pointless suffering.
Not everyone likes plant proteins as a sole source, and that's okay.
