Most harvested grains that are organic do have some creepy crawly parts in them, there is an "acceptable" amount that the FDA tolerates. As a main course? Nope, although it is said that John the Baptist survived on locusts and wild honey, so, it was not unheard of. I will still eat organic foods, less afraid of a few beetle legs than I am of chemical foods. I am not sure why there is a fear here, in civilized countries. Aboriginals in parts of Africa have eaten grubs. There are protein powders made of ants and crickets, I saw the site with my own eyes. Is there fear that a plan is in place to" fortify" our foods with it? I would not worry too much. Anybody who knows how to jerk the system and write a grant can come up with all kinds of nonsense, such as "insects provide edible protein". The bastard down the road actually got a grant to prove that chickens can survive on compost". He got a few thousand. I guess I am too stupid, I feed scraps to my hens but no one paid me a dime to tell them the girls are just fine. I am sure I snuffed up a few gnats in my lifetime. My son tells me that when I eat shrimp or lobster, I am eating ocean insects. I am not defending this, don't get me wrong, but why is this a thing to worry about? I have enough to worry about.
