Im Your Man Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Perhaps a good reason to eat only whole foods and avoid processed stuff... A rat hair or a fly head in your pastas... how_many_insect_parts_and_rodent_hairs_are_allowed_in_your_food.htm Though it may sound ing, these things and other gross filth the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) calls "natural contaminants" are indeed allowed and present in your food." ... because it is economically impractical to grow, harvest, or process raw products that are totally free of non-hazardous, naturally occurring, unavoidable defects."(...) An Ohio University fact sheet estimates that we eat from one to two pounds of insects each year, and without knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcina Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Yeah, I heard about this awhile back. Definitely turns you off PB & J for awhile eh? Course, we end up swallowing bugs all the time by accident anyways. Especially if you like going out in the country, like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blabbate Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 4. I would like 4 millipedes in my peanut butter. But anyway, it's not practical to get rid of all the insect traces.
