What the fuck? I accidentally bought these. How is this a thing? Who enjoys this?

>They feel pain
Not if they don't have a brain

Do your research.

...

Put them fuckers on pizza for maximum tasty.

As much as I like smoked oysters, these do look like poop on a cracker.

It's good data

it's fucking nothing

That's you're opinion

it's a fact that oysters are one of, if not the most environmentally sustainable crops

I'm still allowed to believe it's immoral to eat them

Listen, I don't give a shit about what your diet is, but this "data" is garbage.

I only had to skim this blog to see that the author uses his own opinion articles as citations. His ultimate argument centers around the fact that since other animals have been found to feel pain we can't take chances with oysters.

Even a cursory google search shows oysters have no brain and don't react to pain.

At the end of the day all you're doing is trying to virtual signal about what a good vegan you are on Veeky Forums.

TL:DR Your evidence is shit, leave this board and don't come back.

t. assblasted biologist

You're projecting

The author made some very good points and any decent vegan knows not to eat oysters. You just have problems with vegans.

youtube.com/watch?v=gmpH19HSLrs

and i'm allowed to think you're a hypocrite for thinking it's more "moral" to prefer crops that require hectares of arable land, fertilizers made from the blood and bones of sentient beings, and boat loads fresh water

Now you're just being ridiculous

>Regards in charge of biology

Retards* fuck autocorrect

if you knew a single thing about agriculture, you'd know that i'm not

Not him, but how is that ridiculous? He didn't even mention animal manure for fertilizer. It perfectly fits the definition of hypocrisy.

As I said earlier
Do your research

I only eat safe organic food

And no! Animals aren't harmed in the process

lol. now i know you're baiting

but in case you're as stupid as you come across, the #1 organic fertilizer is chicken shit and #2 is slaughterhouse waste

Not baiting. I don't believe anything you say.

then you're stupid

congratulations

Shit, I completely forgot, that chicken shit is the property of the chicken, I shouldn't be stealing from the chickens and thus violating the NAP, dog bless america *sues chicken for stealing my bird seed*

No you are

>only eat organic vegetables

Since synthetic fertilizers are not permitted under USDA organic certification, the growers of the vegetables you consume are using animal manure, fish emulsion, blood meal for nitrogen, and bone meal for calcium and potassium. You think the organic growers wander around springfed fields collecting cowpies? How are fish emulsion, blood and bone meal obtained without the death of the animal? Death by natural causes?

While reputable organic growers use broad spectrum pyrethrins only rarely to combat unusually severe insect infestations, they still use other control methods to eliminate destructive insects which, although in your worldview are "eww, bugs, yucky," they are animals. Furthermore, rodents, rabbits and even deer have to be eliminated if they're attacking the crops.

Where exactly are you getting this information

go visit a fucking farm you b12 deficient brain dead retard

They don't feel as much pain as the little animals that get mutilated by the farming equipment used to harvest your food.

Kill yourself so we can use your remains as fertilizer.

By researching how to grow organic vegetables so that I can grow my own on 1 acre for a spring, summer and fall season - which I've been doing successfully for the last 5 years. By talking to organic farmers at farmers markets and visiting their farms.

How is it you "only eat organic" and know nothing about the process? Did you decide it was a good thing to do because your favorite pop singer or actress said she did it?

Naturally they don't experience pain as we do, but they should have some negative response to danger and should be able to neurologically detect "unpleasantness"

Just stop

>Implying oysters or any animals living in the water have emotions or can feel pain
xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Not OP,

That sounds neat user.

How much of an investment (time & money) did it take to get something like that going?

3 hours a week
$300 every 2 months

They're savory, oily, and delicious. Eat them with cheese, pickles and crackers

They're made of meat tho

Behold the homemade smoked oyster. They are incredible in pasta carbanara and oyster strew. Have also put them in holiday stuffing.

>made of meat

Smoked Oysters are the fucking bomb

But Cottonseed Oil?

That stuff isnt good for you, and it usually gives me headaches if I eat anything more than a tiny bit of it.

Go vegan

Yeah, cottenseed oil is cancer. You should be getting all your canned seafood in either water or sauce.

Why

go jump off your proverbial high horse and snap your neck on the landing

Thats pretty awesome.

Do you have a link / reference suggestion if I wanted to get into it?

Those look really good.

Do you smoke them right in the shell with their liquor?

These are great.

what a sheltered fool you are. out of sight out of mind I guess.

Nope. You have no power here. You can always go to reddit if you're looking for an echo chamber.

I't's my own property, but I had to build up the soil since it's very much clay. Fortunately I know a cattle farmer that allows me to clean out his barns for free cattle manure. Then I used clover and vetch cover crops which also add nutrients back to the soil. The biggest thing is start in a smaller area and get your soils ready in an expansion area. Also the most important thing for preventing damaging insect infestations and soil fertility is crop rotation.

Once you get the soils built up, the seeds are incredibly cheap. You have to dedicate time, but weed control can be achieved with ground covers. It's a hobby that pays off ultimately because you're doing manual labor to burn calories and growing healthy, fresh food cheaply.

You would be shocked how much produce you can grow cheaply in an 8x8 plot.

>i don't believe it's selfish, to eat defensive shellfish

Wow, I haven't actually listened to that since probably middle school.

Cottonseed oil has an excess of omega-6 oils, which most people get too much of in their diets. Ideally you want to have an 1 to 1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3, but for the average person in non-East Asian countries it's 15:1. Over-consumption of omega-6 fats leads to more oxitive damage over time (this accelerates cancer, aging, heart disease, etc). That combined with over-consumption of sugar is literally cancer for your body.

You can combat omega 3-6 imbalance by eating fatty seafood which is rich in omega-3.

I usually steam them open with wine, get them out of the shell, and then put them on a dehydrator mat inside my smoker. Then I smoke them for about 2 hours.

I do the same for mussels.

Thanks user! I'll look into it a bit more later.

You're all horrible people

Sounds legit.

Looking forward to moving slightly closer to the coast in the very near future.

(specially)

This (or these) user(s) are clearly baiting. disregard them fools.

Retard much?

Ya

They're nothing spectacular, but I enjoy them together with sardines in a hot dog bun with some Jack Daniel sauce.
