I heard somewhere that you eat 20 pounds of bugs a year that get ground up in food/drinks.
Is this true? If so do you have a link to a site saying this? Or if not how many do you eat a year?

Unfortunately it probably is true. We really don't know what goes on in the processing plants which process our food (cleaning, packaging, etc.). I'm sure that all sorts of things better left unsaid, have fallen into the processing.
Have a lovely rest of the evening.

I red somewhere that it was 4 pounds of bugs a year, which seems like a lot to me, but more reasonable than 20 pounds. Imagine how many bugs it takes to make 20 pounds! that would fill most of my living room! In the same place it also stated that most of the bugs we eat is in jam. so if it really bothers you, don't ride a motorcycle and avoid jams and other preserves.

I'm going to segue a bit, but I believe it is topical. Every second we live we ingest or inhale bugs. Bacterium are qualified as Bugs, and they tend to cause some problems for our immune system that we label bugs. Most of the bugs that enter our systems are harmless microbes.
Do we ingest or inhale 20 pounds a year.....I can find no records of a statistacal study to agree or disagree with what the questioner heard.
If you want the Truth.....Ask a Pagan.

It depends on who the person is. Although, the average is about 10-15 pounds of bugs a year. Hope this helps. Do a little more research, you are sure to find out!

Since theres bugs everywhere, i wouln't be surprise if one of them got inside a machine, or food. What your saying is probably true but where is the proof?
