Eating Bugs...more often than we ever imagine?

I found this great fat longer than an inch inchworm today and it is the biggest I have ever seen. For some reason, it made me start thinking about munching a few if I just had to eat and they were the only things around. Well, maybe I already have.

According to a recent article in National Geographic, The U.N. denotes eating insects as a favorable food choice for everyone: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/13/130514-edible-insects-entomophagy-science-food-bugs-beetles/ . I can agree with the thriftiness of the concept, but my cultural upbringing is in revolt. However, when I examined information published by the FDA, I discovered that I had been eating insects and even more unsavory things all my life. And, it isn't just me-it's everyone.   http://www.fda.gov/Food/GuidanceRegulation/GuidanceDocumentsRegulatoryInformation/SanitationTransportation/ucm056174.htm This is a yucky piece of information which should be considered when feeling aversion to frying up and consuming a few mealworms or other assorted insects.
