I tried to make this argument the other day with a friend that has a graduate degree in physics. He argued that shellfish are made out of chitin, and are safe for most people to eat. I did find this study that shows that bugs have lots of unhealthy parasites though:

Ask your pal if he eats the shells of the shellfish, because for an educated guy he isn't smart enough to recognize his false equivalence argument.

I have yet to see anyone eat the shells of shrimp, crab and lobster.....
