Put aside your chicken cutlets and meatloaf and say hello to python curries and satay skewers. Some snake scientists think eating these reptiles—already customary or at least acceptable in parts of the world—might help lessen the damage our food choices have on the environment.
I call it “sneak”
Lentil gang rise up
I’ve never heard of a lentil snake before, I hope it’s not as boring to eat as lentils.
We can eat those invasive pythons in Florida, but IIRC, they need to be tested for mercury. Some of the swamps have mercury & it can seep into the meat.

I fail to see the logic here. The article states that snakes are good at storing energy due to having a low metabolism from being cold blooded, thus we should use them as a primary food source. Aren’t we going to need to, y’know, feed them other animals that don’t have this high efficiency? Each step of the predation food chain loses energy, so if our choice is between an herbivore, or an efficient carnivore that eats herbivores, the herbivore will always be the more efficient choice, right? Thats why all of our main food stocks are herbivores, after all.
