rachel rays mouth gets to me! I cant watch her talk or eat her food cause there is still fattening stuff. Well like alot of people say. if you dont like it dont watch it

I bet my sister has eaten it. I will ask her. She is an Ethnomusicologist (studies music of ethnic cultures) and the government sends her to Indonesia and Malaysia every couple years . She has eaten all kinds of creepy stuff...orangatan, monkey, monkey brains, goat liver, insects, small whole birds on a stick, etc.
Apparently when she is living in the jungle with the natives, they take care of her like one of the family and it would be considered rude not to eat what they prepare...whatever that may be.

See, I would have a problem with that job...I couldn't handle going somewhere, and being put in the place of having to eat the food, lol! I'm glad there are others out there, that have the ability to do so though

hey brahma. at least the food is still organic LOL! I dont think they have chemicals to make the bugs bigger then they are. imagine eating a locust the size of a turkey lol
