    So am I going over my protein without knowing it? Should I eat a little less protein just in case?

    Who cares. The world is full of bugs, and you probably eat a lot of them.

    I ate chocolate covered grasshoppers in NYC when I was 16. They were actually kinda good, very crunchy...

    Made me glad I don't eat a lot of canned food and most frozen things for that matter. The part that really grossed me out: Grab an 8-ounce handful of raisins and you could be eating as many as 35 fruit-fly eggs.

    I get grossed out when I see a little piece of frozen broccoli on my plate of maggots.

    Just disgusting.

    You know that old saying that you eat 8 spiders in your lifetime while sleeping....

    It's not true


    You eat WAY more than 8 spiders in a lifetime when you are sleeping. It's just part of life.

    personally i'd rather eat bugs than all the chemicals in processed-non organic foods.
