you know, some people were really squeamish about eating aquatic roaches, and they were reserved for penal colonies...but over time the public at large started to love them, they also gave them better names, like "crabs" and "lobsters".

anyone can eat algae if they want to, most don't want to.

some people do want to eat crab and lobsters, some don't.

it's not a naming issue or a perception issue, it's a choice issue.

I don't think anyone is saying to not eat what you want anymore, it's about having another option.

The entire piece is about guilt tripping the reader into eating algae under the threat of climate change.

The title is called "Is it time to start eating algae?" even...

The answer to the title is no, unless you want to, which you can already.

If it was about another option it would be a recipe article, not a climate change article.
