    As long as I don't see what I'm about to eat being prepared, then I'm happy remain blissfully ignorant about what small creatures may or may not have been crawling on it.

    My philosophy exactly. In this case, ignorance is bliss.

    When I was in college, I would eat dinner not looking down at my plate because the meats were so horrible looking.

    Living and growing vegetables here in farm country, bugs don't really bother me. Unless it's a spider..alive,,crawling on me. Back to topic,, you wouldn't be safe with just veggies either. Libbys grows pumpkins here and they are 'allowed' only a percentage of protein in their canned pumpkin. Well, you don't get protein from pumpkins, so guess where it's coming from? Yep, bugs! That applies to other vegetables too, even ketchup. At least bugs wont hurt you like the tons and tons of chemicals they spray on the crops.

    Spiders crawl into your mouth sometimes when you are sleeping.

    You'll get hungry enough soon. Just think of it as extra protein.


    Does MFP have a calorie count for them?

    I gotta make sure I'm logging everything!

    IIFYM...

    I watched Food, Inc on netflix a few years ago.

    I will honestly say, I have never been the same. I won't go so far as to say I'm "vegetarian" but I do struggle buying/cooking raw meat (always have, but much worse now).

    Ok so there is information for some of the bug world in MFP, I would love to link the information but can't seem to...
    But just in case you're wondering Crickets-yes, Maggots- yes, Ants-yes, but I lost interest after fly and spider came back void.

    *hangs head in shame* I know I'm bad I couldn't help myself.

    MFP has calorie count on Crickets, Ants, and Maggots... just can't figure out how to make the links to the info work :D hehee

    I blame you for making me look just for the record... I blame work for making me enough of a troll today to attempt to post the links

    I guess so. I don't know, though. I'm asleep when it happens.

    Most everything you eat will have unfavorable things in it.
    Meat (from mass producers) have feces, bacteria, etc.
    Market vegetables have those same as stated above, plus occasional live creatures.
    Milk has pus, blood, and scabs in it.
    As others have said, you've been fine up until now, and there isn't much way to avoid it unless you grow and butcher your own food.

    Oh my! U just seriously grossed me out with the milk lmao!!

    I can overlook some of it like the amount of rat hair allowed in peanut butter. But If pass a thing of canned mushrooms or marichino cherries it makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit :) Pretty much not going to eat canned mushrooms while knowing it same with marichino cherries. Oh and raspberry candy...nope but most of it I can overlook or just prefer not to hear what is in it!

    When my wife was young in England, they fished with maggots as bait. When it was really cold, they'd keep them in their mouths so they wouldn't freeze and stay nice and wiggly... :laugh:
