I always follow the concept of the, you are what you eat doctrine up to one level of indirection. After that it gets too confusing.
So to me, the following are vegetarian meals: lamb, beef, goat, rabbits, roo, buffalo, deer, bison...

So inho, the crickets and meal worms are vegetarian food, unless you feed the meal worms polystyrene which they can oddly digest and and happily consume, in which case they are plastic food so probably good for the fast food chains.

Of course, vegetarians will disagree with me because they don't believe in the you are what you eat principle. lol

Hey, if you can dip them in chocolate you can eat it.

Sprinkles on ice cream.

This is why we need to labels on foods.

Marketing fail: "Our product has 95% manufactured and engineered chemicals"
Marketing pass: "Has 5% real juice!"

thumper, are locusts vegetables? are worms vegetables? qed.

fisher, just because one can do something doesn't mean that one should. and the chocolate's just fine by itself. no doubt better by itself. no need to add the locusts. or worms. if you must add something try peanut butter. or marshmallows. put it on ice cream. I could go on but it's dinner time. squash ravioli, carrots and grapefruit since you ask.

Or,

Yes, no (strawberries are a fruit), no (quinoa is a grain)

Potatoes are botanically classified as a vegetable, but they are classified nutritionally as a starchy food,' says a DoH spokesperson. 'This is because when eaten as part of a meal, they are generally used in place of other starchy carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta or rice.

Potatoes provide mainly carbohydrate in the form of starch whereas foods classified as fruit and vegetables provide much less carbohydrates.

The potato is in fact a legume. A legume is plant that is able to fix nitrogen from the air and put it into the soil. A colleague of mine informed me that a potato is a plant that can do this. thus, it is classified as a legume, not as a vegetable.

Maybe it isn't quite that simple.

flora or fauna, geonuc?

or, more to the point, would you deny thumper, a vegetarian (and, for all I know a vegan) the pleasure of eating strawberries? quinoa?

they're definitely not animals nor are they animal-derived. ergo, in my nsho they're perfectly safe for you to eat.
