After cocoa beans are harvested they need to be fermented. This means that they are put in an earthen pit near where they are harvested and covered with leaves. In the hot sun they ferment (rot) and then can be shoveled out as mature cocoa beans. Of course during this process lots of insects are present. Doesn't mean it is bad for you.
Cottage cheese is allowed to have 10 fecal coliforms / gram (fecal coliform being bacteria like Escherichia coli that is normally associated with human and animal feces). Doesn't mean that it will hurt you.

Almost all chocolate has bugs in it, because it is to expensive to manufacture without bugs. The FDA allows a certain amount of bugs or animal in most foods you eat. Almost all manufactured food you eat comes from a animal you won't think would be in it. Link below shows the same answer on yahoo answers.

I don't think that's actually true, but if it is...
Cacao (chocolate's main ingredient) comes from the rainforest. The rainforest has lots of bugs.
Sugar cane is grown in rainforest-like climates. So... same thing.
A leg or two is bound to fall off.
