Yuck !

So, the email I got this morning, "Eat This, Not That!" linked to an article about the grossest bugs we don't know we're eating. Pretty nasty. I just thought this article had some good information we should be aware of.

The article said we eat up to one pound of bugs a year...wow. Who would have thought?

Some of those included believe it or not:

1.) Mites: Storage and grain mites can cause the same reactions of dust mites.
These tend to stick to frozen vegetables, as do a lot of these bugs we eat.

2.) Maggots: Gross. They like to hang out in canned foods, like tomatoes, mushrooms, tomato paste and even Maraschino cherries. 20 maggots are allowed for every 100 grams.

3.) Fruit flies: You can just wash them off a piece of fruit...beware of the fruit juice. You can drink five fruit flies with every 8-ounce cup of juice. Raisins also carry fruit fly eggs.

I think that's enough for now...Please read on for some good information to have on hand at  Eat This, Not That!
