64. Thanks for the rational, adult answer.
It's so funny to see how vegetarians can rationalize treating human beings like crap while getting defensive about their way of eating. The fundamentalism is just as bad as the religious whackjobs on right-wing forums.

I'm sorry to hear that your fibromyalgic. :-( How are your symptoms? Are you getting around OK? Fibromyalgia is what I was diagnosed with when I was 29 :wtf: but it was probably celiac and other food allergies causing it. Have you been tested for food allergies?

I've never tried insects but my husband has. He's a lot more adventurous than I am. :D

I eat whole foods-grass fed meat and free range chicken and eggs from a local farm, vegetables and fruits that I grow myself organically or buy from local farms. Nothing processed like seitan or fermented like tempeh or with added vitamins, as there is debate whether any of the nutrients are absorbable anyway. No flours or grains. The only sweetener I use (rarely) is stevia. I find that eating simply has alleviated any and all symptoms of fibromyalgia and diabetes. Our food sources are so contaminated now that I don't trust anything that's been processed.
