        And no centralized nervous system meaning no pain and no consciousness. Call me a bad vegetarian, but I swear mussels are vegetables and I will die on this hill.

          Meat vegetables 🤤

          I mean, as long as you’re vegetarian to avoid causing harm, mussels are basically a pass. Oysters should fall into the same area, since they also have decentralized ganglia instead of a central nervous system. And they’re good for the water, so planting more of them is a good idea.

      I will still eat oysters. They’re low impact, clean the water, and have no nervous system. I consider them fancy plants. Finding local ones (PNW) is the only challenge, most supermarket ones are from China.
