Can y’all all agree to stop living this lie? Can 2020 finally be the year when we collectively let go of the past and move on to a brighter more intelligent future? Will this be the year that y’all come to your senses and stop following an idiotic wives’ tale that has been passed down from generation to generation in willful ignorance and think for yourself?

YOU WON’T!!!

By the way, the actual nickname for crab gills is ‘Dead Man Fingers’.

I understand that most people won’t eat them because texture and/or taste. That’s sound reasoning. In fact, the REAL reason you shouldn’t eat the gills is because our bodies do not digest them.

However, I cannot accept the bullshit reason of that somehow the gills are poisonous and can make you sick. So you are telling me that somehow whatever the fuck that makes the gills toxic is somehow ONLY inside the gills and doesn’t escape to the rest of the crab and the water it’s being steamed in? HUH!?! Please explain.

Make. It. Make. Sense.

YOU CAN’T!!!

I think back to every adult that ever told me that dumb shit and part of me weeps because they actually believe this nonsense.

Plus, if you eat soft-shell crabs and still are convinced that ‘dead men’ are poisonous then you are about as intelligent as the bread you are eating that soft-shell crab with.

Well I eat the ‘Dead Men and’ I haven’t gotten sick nor have I died.
