I didn't whatsoever in any way, shape, form or fashion know that I was eating that many bugs. There are questions to ask. Maybe you would like to discuss this.

You need to put warnings on potentially traumatizing information like that. I'm now considering killing myself :D

I heard a lot of little critters are high in protein.

I wouldn't have been surprised if it had have been more even.
by VS Angel aka Mrs. Stealth Intelligence on July 21st, 2008
Ewwwww!
Even vegetarians?
Yucky.
by Froggy on July 21st, 2008
I suppose if i were a toad or frog, that wouldn't bother me. Once in a while i go to FDA recall site and i notice that most of that insect filth comes from Canada and is in canned vegetables.
by Rollie on July 21st, 2008
Did we really need to know that??
I may never eat again.
by junebug0897 on July 21st, 2008
oh well. as long as i don't see it in my food while i'm eating it, it's fine.
by Doggie S on July 21st, 2008
Ewwww.
Thanks for reminding me that I have almost eaten a leg of a cockroach, courtesy of a bread that my mom had bought.

It doesn't bode well for the vegetarians, I don't think. What do you think? Would they be more upset than meat eaters?

Did you know that the ammount of insects that you will swallow in your sleep (Including spiders) is twice that?
by LeeLee Chickybabe Avenger SLAB on July 31st, 2008
That just sounds so damn tasty! Let me tell you!
by Anonymous on July 30th, 2008
Wow ! Lets hope they gave me a good portion of protein

Yummy!
by guardian of naught on September 19th, 2009
yeah, don't we eat about 14 spiders in our sleep by the time we die? or is it more??
by Hillbilly on August 21st, 2009
Big Deal, I saw some idiots on the Food Network eating Bugs. Big ole suckers.
by bk12321 on August 21st, 2009
thats disgusting, but probably true.+3
by HoboJoe on August 21st, 2009
I believe it. And I think I already had more than my 3 lbs since I lived in a 3rd world country for awhile. Insects and bugs are a part of diet of some culture and I hope they are the ones bringing up the average.
by MicrocosmicOrbit on August 21st, 2009
More if you eat bugs deliberately
by -Icy- on August 13th, 2009
3 LBS over a life time sounds low... but then what do i know lol..
by Kierafaye on August 13th, 2009
yeah :(
i learned that awhile ago

i just try not to think about it and actively try to sleep with my mouth closed lol

by Mech675 on May 31st, 2009
That is true! The blood red color comes from a beetle. Enjoy your gum and other sweets!
by AnonymousGirl on April 17th, 2009
Oh well. How do they know this anyway? Just wondering. It's not like they watched every single person on this Earth sleep. Did they?
by Anonymous on April 12th, 2009
Lovely!!! I just can't get enough of those bugs!!! <reaches into hair, pulls out a bug and eats it> Yummy!!!lol
by Anonymous on August 21st, 2008
That's nothing, I saw a program where they take old animal bones and remove all the minerals until only a gelatin is left and they use that gelatin in many processed foods like ice cream and sauces! I like meat but who wants to eat old bones that have gone through hydrocloric acid then place it in your dinner?
by LuckyLefty on August 9th, 2008
haha
sucks for vegetarians :P
f**kin insects :S wtf! I don't go crawling in THEIR mouth when they sleep
assholes
by ALF - Gordon Shumway on August 9th, 2008
Yes, I believe it. I've heard, that during your lifetime, you will eat seven to eight spiders while you are sleeping. I don't remember if it was the Discovery Channel, as Go_Know said.
by Shanel with an S on November 30th, 2009
probably true, i read under a Snaple cap that the average human eats 8 spiders in their sleep during their lifetime! GROSS!!! :P
by Thriftymaid on September 19th, 2009
Makes you hungry, doesn't it?
by King of Sexytown on September 19th, 2009
Well, I have eaten chocolate covered insects before. That in conjunction with all the hot dogs I have eaten I'm prolly over 3 pounds.
by Nemesis on August 21st, 2009
HAaaaaaaaAAaaaaaaaAAAAAAH! salted roast beetle with a little flavor of poop with Cricket chips a la sauce!!

by Robertd903 on August 21st, 2009
...and WHO did the research--and HOW was it done??
by Civic Cat on August 13th, 2009
1 500 grams divided by, say, 40 years = 37.5 grams a year;
or about 100 milligrams a day.
Sounds reasonable if one assumes it's in the processed and cooked foods.
Perhaps vegans might even be eating more meat--such as in their vitamin gel caps.
by Copper389 on July 16th, 2009
Well yes/ in the average life time you swallow about 3 small spiders per year.
by Big on May 31st, 2009
Ewwww!!! Phyllis, that's gross!

Where can you get "pizza flavoring" and "cheeseburger flavoring", as well as other flavorings, to add to foods like potatoes, etc?

Of course! But I couldn't tell you anything that the Dept. of Ag can't. That's where I got the info from!
