    Eh. I've ingested my fair share of bugs when I've gone running over the years. Probably more than is in food.

    Never knew about carmine before. Does that mean ketchup doesn't count as vegan?


    Looked up red #40. Apparently it's "coal tar."

    I'll stick to eating the bugs...

    Hehe, technically anything with Red #4 isn't vegan. And I just checked my ketchup... no artificial colors.

    Oh and #40 was originally coal tar, but now it's mostly petroleum... lol. Big improvement.

    you know you swallow like 1 and half spiders in your sleep a year? lol
    Just sayin.

    This is a myth, apparently mouths aren't a hospitable environment for spiders so they tend to not enter. :sick:

    My perspective is that people have been eating bugs in other countries for a very long time. They're far healthier than most Americans so no harm, no foul.

    Besides: bug = protein

    If that grosses you out, you shouldn't look on YouTube for videos of what goes on in slaughter houses. You will lose your lunch.

    Bug parts are among the least gross things the FDA allows in food imo. lol
    My neighbor likes to eat live crickets, so I don't really consider eating bugs that bad, as long as I don't have to know I'm eating them or feel them moving around in my mouth. ;)
