Blach!! I didn't click on the link. Don't want to know anymore. Got more information than I need. Thanks vene :mrgreen:

Ick, yuck and shiver. Something else to look forward to reading on labels.
I can't believe companies would do that.

 

:0024: Thanks for this info, Vene. I happen to be vegetarian, so this is extra gross and I eat all those on the list! I'm not buying those things anymore. If I'm going to eat a bug, it's only because it happened to fly into my mouth while I was doing outdoor activities. :-&

 

Cochineal beetles are used in lipstick too.

I will never look at food and lipstick the same way again. :m13:

 

Well, I'm happy to report that I actually don't eat any of those foods listed.

I didn't take any chances and follow the link to learn more. I'll stay with being lucky so far!

 

Someone once told me that a human swallows an average of 7 spiders over a lifetime while sleeping. :wink:

 

I've heard of that before, too.

By the way, if you think about it... if you eat bread, you're proabably eating tons of bugs. It's not like they de-but the wheat as it's processed into bread. The little buggies get processed, too.

Heck, from what I understand, bugs are healthy! (Still not appealing, though)

 

I may never eat again. :roll:

 

The instructor for my Nutrition class was trying to gross us out and told us the same thing about dried herbs and spices....how they are allowed to contain a certain percentage of dried, ground up bugs...legs, wings, etc. :shock:

Mmmm.....SPICY! :mrgreen:
