it is said to believe that humans eat about one pound of insects every year without even knowing it!

But that is just myth!! There is no scientific proof that we eat a pound of insects every year.

There are insect pieces in almost all processed foods sold in any grocery store. How much processed food we eat determines how many bugs we eat. YAY!
