    Oh...crap. Lol. I just saw "frog leg" and thought "snake!"

    Out of curiosity, would you mind explaining a little more? Is it because they are from overseas? Parasites? Toxins? Just wondering.

    As for that, I find the comment a little silly. It didn't even cross my mind about how they processed the frogs and I guess you can say I was a little bit of an ignorant consumer in just purchasing them spontaneously. And yes, it is gross and horrible to think of a bunch of writhing frog torsos in a trash can. But at the same time, if I had asked whether or not feeding beef would be okay, I'm pretty sure that nobody would have mentioned anything about how cows are mass produced on factory farms in abysmal conditions. I am also pretty sure that nobody would have brought up the procedures used to mass-slaughter these cows, or that producing meat creates a higher percentage of greenhouse gases than driving. Finally, I am definitely sure nobody would have mentioned that it takes more water to produce 4 pounds of beef than it does to take a 7-minute shower every single day for a year.

    It seems like it is incredibly easy for us to bash foreign practices and procedures while we turn a blind eye to our own practices because they are so common to us. So unless somebody consumes only free-range meat and meat products, or is vegan altogether, I think it's a little hypocritical to bash foreign practices. Sorry, to get a little of track, just my thoughts on the matter.
