RE: As proud as the Peacock

Eeep!!

peafowl are generally considered a good source of proteins for humans and, hence, they can be killed and eaten just like every other hen.

This is why I keep promoting #entomophagy.

Trouble is, I couldn't eat a praying mantis (even if they weren't a protected species), any more than I could kill, pluck, and gut a peacock for dinner.

Now, crickets, grasshoppers, ants... I do love them, in moderation! ... are plentiful, and I would rather get my protein from plentiful bugs than cows, pigs, lambs, or chickens. Maybe I'm a pescatarian and didn't know it. (My mom still thinks Pescatarians are some new religious improvement over Catholicism, and if you ask her today, she'll forget that it's FISH EATERS, and yes, "mackerel snappers" used to be slang for Catholics.)

Oh the things we eat. But not peacocks, not when bugs are still plentiful!
