For example. I just can NOT make myself eat fresh crawfish because they look too much like bugs. I've tried multiple time but I just can't make myself touch them in the shell. I barely manage to do it with prawns.

But that being said, I'm a full advocate for eating bugs. And crawfish, of course. Crawfish are delicious. Just please shell them for me first. But back to the bugs, I think it'd be fantastic for everyone if we could some how wrap our brains back around eating bugs. They're amazing sources of protein, good fats, minimal bad fats, minerals and vitamins, etc...etc... Not to mention GOBS easier to farm than mammals of any sort, and you also get rid of the "ethics" issues for most people. After all, they are "just bugs".

To me, those benefits outweigh the psychological horror I experience on trying to shell something that even LOOKS like an insect. If someone wants to make me spider gumbo, they can have at...as long as it doesn't look like spiders or have that nerve-gut wrenching CRUNCH *shudder*

Out of sight, out of mind, as you said.

I would have EVEN LESS problems eating this meat. Why? because it's simply. Not. Feces. Not at all. It isn't. I don't have to delude myself, because I know that it is not feces. I can eat this free of thought that it is feces, because I know it has been chemically processed, extracted, and had ingredients added to the point where this is not feces. They don't even use the feces itself, but the protein in the feces. That makes it even LESS like feces. I, personally, feel particularly assured, because I also know that hind-gut fermenters (like rabbits and horses) and dogs will eat ACTUAL shit, just to get the protein in the dead bacteria (along with some assorted vitamins). Hell, I'd be getting those benefits and not having to eat actual shit!!

There is no need to play psychological games with myself in order to "Convince" myself to eat this product because this product is not made of feces. It's made of a highly processed chemical extraction of proteinacious material that happens to originate from feces and fecal bacteria, and then had a dozen other ingredients added to the core product. No psychological barriers, and no mental games required! If I can't accept that this is not feces, then I can't accept that my pillow is not a goose, my chips are not dead leaves, and my steak is not fertilizer spread on corn fields.

EDIT: I just want to note that I am totally cool if you just think you would not be able to get past it. I'd hardly force you to eat anything you did not want to, or tell you were not allowed to determine what would taste palatable to you. What gets me is that you at least appear to be condemning the entire idea and all it's potential use based on the fact you think no one could get past the word "poop". I think that people could easily get past it if they stopped to actually think about it.
