fuck you i didn't want to have read that
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.
Did it taste like rabies?
Not sure about the taste, but they definitely got the IgG shots and therapeutic vaccine series. I'm not sure they had encountered someone that had ever had steamed bat carcass before.
There hadn't been any rabies cases near Wuhan for years back in '19
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.
psychic damage inflicted
Well here is a half moth that I once got in a prepackaged salad I bought once
Prepackaged leafy greens are the worst offenders for quality control issues by far
I worked in a restaurant that purchased local produce. One day a guest sent back a salad because it had a butterfly in it. That bastard had submerged in water for 30 minutes, rinsed and run 3 through a salad spinner three times, then refrigerated for about 2 hours. Yet there it was, covered in dressing and still fucking alive.
Greens are kind of a mine field. Bugs love them and lots of them are specifically designed to hide and live within them. Let's not even get into e. Coli.
Sensitive to moisture, temperature, crushing, short shelf life, can’t really pasteurize, and most commonly eaten raw. Bugs can be gross but the most potent threat is bacteria!
Where's the other half?
Looks like a cicada
