I’ve heard it posited that oysters should be on the menu for vegans (one’s who are vegan for ethical rather than dietary choice reasons). The rationale is that oysters specifically have no nervous system in the way that, say, a clam does. In fact, from a capacity to suffer standpoint, they’re roughly equivalent to a carrot.

The other thing is that oyster farming improves water quality and the environment. So, vegans—go crazy I guess!
