If you've ever eaten any food made from grains, like bread, oatmeal, cereal and even beer, you've eaten bugs and plenty of them.
I lived and worked on a farm for many years and I can tell you a truck load of wheat, or oats, or barley, has probably a garbage can's worth of bugs in it. Some crawl, some jump, some stink, some fly, some make weird noises. There are green ones, red ones, yellow ones, black ones and irredescent ones. Some have stingers, some have pinchers, some have horns, some spit juice. Many are pregnant or are carrying their young on them. Some of them have just gone to the bathroom and others are ready to. None of them get removed. They all remain mixed in.
Obviously we don't die from them, but how does that make you feel? Enjoy.

I've eaten bugs and to be honest, I didnt enjoy it. Chicken feet are much more delicious whether they are served barbequed or stewed. I eat at least a dozen a week and i love them. Pork intestines run a close second. I had some today and the flavor was out of this world. I highly recommend chicken feet and pork intestines over bugs any day of the week. As my dear old Grandpa used to say, "Don't knock it until you tried it!"

I already heard this from my sociology professor. They used those bugs for food coloring and other nutrition, bugs are HIGH in proteins and they are very nutritious. ALSO, in few months in the food people eat like the ones you mentioned, they will say what kind of bugs they added on the ingredient

I enjoy it. It's all good protien. I even like that bugs live all over the human body. They help keep us clean and healthy.

You are just plain mean spirited. This isn't a question... you are trying to ruin as many people's days as you can... as my 2 year old would say, "Not nice!"
