Waiter, there's a fly in my soup
Since rat hair and insects in the processed food we eat is pretty much inevitable, The American Food and Drug Administration was required to determine how much crap was too much. Here are some standards fit for for human consumption:
1. In canned spinach: 2 or more caterpillars whose lenth is not more than 24 mm per 24 pounds of spinach.
2. In canned tomatoes: 2 or more maggots or 10 or more fly eggs in 500 grams
3. In ginger: 3 or more milligrams of mamal feces per pound
4. In ground oregano: 1,250 or more insect parts in 10 grams
5. In pasta products: 225 insect parts in more than 225 grams
I will add one last item to close things up…wheat…9 milligrams of rat feces in a kilogram. I was going comment on how half the cereals out there tast like s*#t, but that would be a bit too easy now, wouldn’t it? Somehow the “revelations” in the film, Supersize Me don’t seem so bad any more.
Peace.

You can't eat in restaurants because you never know what someone is doing to your food...now, I have to hesitate getting food from grocery stores...well aside from that whole e coli break out.

Once I was eating an egg salad sandwich in a restaurant and I bit into something hard and it turned out to be a huge fingernail!!
Now, after reading this blog, I'm worried that I'm going to crack open an egg and find something worse...but then again, eggs are kind of gross to begin with....

I got a sandwich from this palce and there was a live wiggly caterpiller in the lettuce. I didn't bite the sandwich but noticed it as i was bringing it to my mouth. When I went back and told the place they said their lettuce was so fresh that caterpillers sometimes were in it. I can now see that it is considered ok.
