Kinda gross but.......

Everything we eat has bugs on it although you just can't see them.

Everytime you do yardwork or go on a hike you inhale bugs.
They are just bugs.

Anyone eat lobster or shrimp? Those are sea bugs.



My parrot's food gets mothy. These moths love to get into rice, pasta,
cereal, etc... Yummy.



Nothing gross about it...

Omg. I will never eat at anyone elses house again.

I feed the buggy stuff to my lizards. But really, how many times does some bug fall in your drink glass and you just pick it out and keep the glass contents?

I for one am proud of you for not wasting the food. If you had any idea how many bugs we eat on a daily basis you would have no problem with a few moth larva.

Google insects and peanut butter and see what you come up with.

The USDA actually has a limit to the number of insect parts, rat hairs and so on that is allowed in our food.

Yeah it's hard to think about, but eating a bug now and again is a fact of life. Many, many years ago when my firstborn was still new and pink and figuring out basic life skills, and so was his mother... he sat up, all the way up, on his little diapered behind. With a smile on his face, swaying in the sunlight hands reaching, reaching, he grabbed a spider and popped it in his mouth. He sat there with a huge tickly smile as the thing dangled out of his mouth and swallowed it just as I got there.

I thought the pediatrician was gonna pee his pants he was laughing so hard when I came in crying...Yep the boy lived. And sadly that was not the worst thing he ever did either.

LOL I'd have fed it to everyone but maybe lost my appetite... LOL My DH wouldn't have cared.... sometimes he's lazy and eats off of dirty plates!

I always think of that scene from Empire of the Sun with the Weevils? and the potato... LOL You do what cha gotta do

I've found moth larvae in stuff before and just picked through it REAL good before moving on. I mean, looking at what people had to contend with before prepackaged food and cellophane bags... I think we don't realize how good we have it

That's hilarious. Once, at Thanksgiving, my whole family was at my parents' house and my brother and I were in the kitchen serving our plates when he noticed a HUGE green worm on the cooked broccoli. You could barely see it because it blended in so well. We just had our laugh together and went ahead and ate. I think we did tell everyone, AFTER they ate.
