"There are reports available from the FDA if you want to be paranoid. These are reports that specify how much bug eggs they will allow in food, for example. The worst food for bug parts? Peanut butter. The bugs, literally, come in with the peanuts and they don't have time to separate the bugs from the peanuts when they come in from the farm like that, so the bugs get ground up with the peanut butter. You eat peanut butter, you eat bugs. And this knowlege does not keep me away from peanut butter, or other foods, cuz for one there are many, many people, probably larger than the population of America, who eat bugs and live and are strong and healthy, and also because there is nothing I can do about it anyway. Tho I can avoid a fast food restaraunt if I know they are putting cleaning fluids in with their sauces."

The FDA refers to insects and rodent hairs in food as "defects". Here is the FDA position on such defects:
"The alternative to establishing natural defect levels in some foods would be to insist on increased utilization of chemical substances to control insects, rodents and other natural contaminants. The alternative is not satisfactory because of the very real danger of exposing consumers to potential hazards from residues of these chemicals, as opposed to the aesthetically unpleasant but harmless natural and unavoidable defects."
Besides, bugs are high in protein and are good for you. Insects like grasshoppers eat clean things, like plants, while other foods we eat (lobster, oysters) are bottom-feeders that eat decomposing matter. Yuck!
