Honestly I haven't tried it but I wouldn't mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

B12 comes from bacteria on the ground. If you eat dirty food you should get some.

I just have a B12 supliment I take.

I'm not sure where to get the active bacteria, but you could culture some nutritional yeast, or buy some inactive yeast from the store.

    Nah I can't do supplements, and the B12 in nutritional yeast isnt naturally occuring. Some microorganisms do produce B12 but not the ones they use to make nooch. I know, I was surprised to.

    I did some more research though, and I do have a source of B12. Remember I said I was using seaweed for fertilization?

    Boom: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11430774/

    I can just eat the seaweed. 😂

    In fact, it appears my people have a long history of eating seaweed: https://www.wildwalks-southwest.co.uk/all-about-laverbread/ (didn't know that existed!)

    So I guess I'll go vegan. You win. The crickets will be disappointed that they're getting evicted but I'm sure they'll get over it.

    I'm going to go 6 months eating just seaweed and potatoes, while doing blood work to check my nutrient levels. I'll let you know if I don't die 😅. Thanks for all your help.

    Haha yeah, I love seaweed. Didn't know it had B12 in it. I think it also has some good omega fats too.

    Wow, well I hope it goes well for you! I think this Is a first for me. Lemmy really is a better place.

    Have a good weekend 😊. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
