If the thought of eating bugs creeps you out, get over it. We all ingest plenty of bug parts, making us all entomophagologists. There’s a word you can use to amaze and astound friends and family.
Where do these little crawlies come from? Flour beetles and weevils, along with other grain pests, are ground up in small amounts in all granaries. You may see them in their new life smiling up at you from your next piece of bread. They’re those tiny dark spots that look so innocent.
And they are. Small amounts of these sanitized bug parts won’t hurt us. That’s a good thing, as they also show up in some beverages and canned and processed foods. Those in-the-know estimate that we each ingest about a pound of buglicious parts over our lifetimes.
Then there are those who eat bugs on purpose, as low fat, high protein treats. Killing insects is not nearly as messy as butchering animals, and no animal rights folks seem to mind. Read all about buggy food at the Eating Bugs page on Manataka.org.
. How senseless of you to post this topic right when people are getting ready for lunch.
