A couple of days ago I found several cockroaches in my meal. They were alive. I threw them out and ate the food, no big deal... BUT today I've found cockroaches in my meal again! And again they were alive!
What should add into my food so that I wouldn't have live cockroaches there? Will arsenic work?

Unfortunateloy the FDA has allowed for a certain amount of insects and other materials to be in food. No matter how much you clean anything, insects, rodents and others still manage to get into pakaged foods. It can be in boxes of ceral, cans of tomatoes etc. No container is impervious to what is commonly called vermin. At least with all the cooking the food goes through, you won't be able to recognize any of the afore mentioned critters.

Nuke it in the micro for 5 minutes and they'll die. Add a bit of ketchup and you won't know the difference.
If you really have a problem with eating them, you can buy some mice from the pet store and turn em loose in your kitchen because they eat roaches. But you'll have to get some cats for the mice eventually. Then, possibly dogs, for the cats. When your insect and rodent problems are solved, turn the dogs out into the alley because they are really filthy animals that you don't want living in your house.

Are you sure they're cockroaches? Meal and flour usually gets weevils if it's been around a while (the weevil eggs are already in there when you buy it and the longer you keep it in your pantry, the more likely they'll hatch.)

You could just try eating the cockroaches.

Naaahhh, you wanna skip the arsenic. My first husband kept finding roaches in his food so I added a little arsenic because, let's face it, it does sound like a good idea.
But then he freakin' died! And they actually wanted to arrest me for it! What a bummer.

Was this in public or in your home?
I'd say eat them, those things can live through a nuclear blast. Maybe you'll inherit some of their super powers!

I am sure that arsenic will work but I would just call the Orkin Man!

Have you tried cooking the food with them in it? I bet the added flavor might not be too bad.

I'd go with some simple raid, it's cheaper than arsenic, and it adds flavor, too
