24. That may sound disgusting but no one really knows what goes on in the kitchens and basements of our restaurants. Dirty fingernails are nothing!!!! I've seen young people working in restaurants pick up dropped food and put it back on the plates (I've walked out of restaurants due to what I thought was unacceptable handling of foods. Our buffet salad bars are one of the worst! Not just the non-washing of the veggies but sneezing on the food and not removing it from the space. I think I'll take eating at home where I know I'm at least dilluting the germs by washing the eatables, and throwing away what I drop or suspect is unsafe. We get plenty of germs on our own which we can't control so I do like control of most of my foods.

26. I'd eat 'em. Americans are so thoroughly brain-washed in their way of thinking. In other countries insects are eaten because they provide nutrients, because there is little else or because it is a traditional part of the diet. I have tried meal worms and crickets in the course of my travel and career. I obviously didn't die and I didn't get sick either. I'm curious what does happen to the venom though. Some facts are missing from this article.

32. All of you have eaten bugs. Don't you know that the FDA allows a certain amount of cockroches in chocolate. But I have to say there is no way I would eat this cracker.

33. Ummmmmm......NO!!! No. No. No.

Dude, I'm glad you had mealworms and whatever else and lived to tell the tale...BUT WASPS?

What the heck?

Yeah, that person certainly isn't a hand model. >_<

I don't even like to eat meat because I know how those poor animals a treated, living in their own filth and so forth...I wouldn't touch an insect with a 100 foot pole.

I DO NOT LIKE GREEN EGGS AND HAM! (PS that book never got me to try anything new)

40. I would think the wings would get stuck in your teeth, like those annoying sharp bits of corn shuck which remain in your mouth for days after you eat popcorn and cannot be removed by brushing, flossing or napalm.
