Since it's nearly time for I'm a celeb get me outta here!!!!. I thought i'd add a article about eating bugs....hmm yuk i hear you say? Well giving my experience it's not to bad, .Yes i have ate bugs. I tried it a few years ago in a shopping mall. They were doing a competition and if you ate a bug you got entered into the prize to win a luxury holiday. There was a choice of bugs, african worms, chocolate ants and then a scorpion. So i went up and no one would do it, so when asked what i'd try to enter the competition i said all of it. The ant was in chocolate so it was on i thought it was a bit like chocolate rasins. The rest was a bit salty, not that great. But then since i was wanting the holiday i went for the final which was the scorpion, It was wraped in candy so by the time i got to it, people were looking at me with look of horror. It was very chewy, But after waiting months to see if i'd win......nothing! But i still got a bite to eat which....erm....was healthy i hear? Most people do this every day.

Scientists have reported that most bugs are good for our health.Lot's of resturants serve bugs but i haven't been to one yet that does. Studies have shown they are full of protien,essential nutrients,and contain much less cholesterol, and much more unsaturated fat, than other kinds of meat.When pesticides failed to control locusts in Thailand, the government urged its people to eat them, and distributed recipes. The plague stopped. Now villagers plant corn specifically to attract them, so that they can be caught and sold.

So would you eat a bug?
