Look closely at the popcorn, you may find tiny insect parts in your popcorn. Or look in your canned corn, you can see small little tiny insect parts in it. The bread crumbs and oatmeal I bought a few months ago, there were bugs inside of it.

I hate to say it but there is. It is actually legal
The FDA hasa published book that lists all of the acceptable level of contaminates in processed foods. There is a certain amount of bugs, dust saw dust, etc. that will get into factory made food. Earth worms are defenitely n the list. The FDA says that the acceptable level of earthworms in food is 1 part per 1.5 million so yes it is possoble and legally acceptable that hotdogs may actually have earthworm particles in them. this is of course entirely by accident. Earthwroms are not cultivated for mainstream consumbption and I am sure that there are cheaper fillers. (like saw dust)

I don't know about popcorn or cereal but I'm pretty sure peanut butter does. I heard somewhere, the FDA allows companies to pass a certain amount of bug particles/rat dander in a jar of PB.
True or false, that's just plain nasty!

there is a gov't standard of how many PPM of bug parts can be in food goods. Its impossible to mass produce foods and keep them entirely bug free. But cheer up, you probably eat bugs all the time with out realizing it, and they are all protein!

Yes most all of them do. That's what vegans don't realize when they say that they can survive on the incomplete protiens found in vegetables alone. All this time they've been eating animal protiens anyways. I JUST LOVE THE IRONY!!!!!!

Most likely....i don't think they employ someone to sit with a microscope and remove pieces of insects from food all day.
