Ah, so you're treating your intuition like it's universal fact and then claiming to be the victim of gaslighting when someone disagrees. Have a great life!

"Meat is muscle, and insects must have muscles to move - its just that their muscles are inside their external skeleton rather than outside their internal skeleton. In fact i have seen insect muscle, when i watched a preying mantis eat a large blow-fly."

No longer must you suffer looking like a fucking idiot, making claims unsubstantiated simply because you "feel" they're correct.

Behold! Google!

Well I don't care for propaganda sites. I know "eat the bugs" is currently pretty high up.

But again, using the term "meaty" to describe a tarantula where the most you will eat is the exoskeleton is just bad faith

You do understand that the stuff inside the exoskeleton doesn't just evaporate, right?
