    Fun fact, there is an acceptable level of bug parts allowed in food products. And the level is not zero.

      Fuck man, bug parts are probably some of the healthiest things in your food.

      The shit has micro plastics in it. Stuff that fucks up the kids you don’t even have yet.

      Bugs are no big deal. Except they also have micro plastics in them.

        The worst is not the bug, it’s where the the bug has been and what it has eaten…

        Friend is an epidemiologist. Someone ran their coffee maker at their cabin after a while away. It tasted funny. Mostly because there was a BAT in it.

        I actually do have a small amount of mealworm protein every month. I was just trying to fuck with that other guy.

      Humans have likely eaten bugs with their food by accident for as long as humans existed. Bugs are everywhere, and its impossible to be meticulous and get them all out always.

      I’ve eaten insects willingly. I’ve had crickets, I’ve had ants, I’ve had beetle larvae. They were all fine.

      What I haven’t eaten is roaches. Because roaches are fucking nasty.
