Bugs Mmmmm!



Have you and would you eat an insect? The video mentioned that insects are an excellent source of nutrients. Would the health benefits convince you to incorporate bugs into your diet? What's the most disgusting thing you've ever eaten?

I would never ever eat an insect. I honestly don't care if insects are an excellent source of nutrients that is just nasty. I would rather raise my own animals or be a vegetarian. The health benefits would never convince me to incorporate bugs into my diet. The most disgusting thing that I have ever eaten was when I was little and it was a rock.

I have not and I would not eat an insect. The health benefits would not convince me to incorporate bugs into my diet. I do not eat disgusting things. If something doesn't look or smell right then I don't eat it.

I have never ate insects and I will never eat them. I think eating insects is the last thing on my list to eat. Even though insects are an excellent source of nutrients, I will never eat them. The most disgusting thing I have ever eaten was probably nothing. I like to eat things that I know I will eat, so I very rarely try something new.

I don’t think anyone could convince me to eat bugs. That sounds and looks disgusting. I can honestly say I don’t care about eating healthy, especially if it involves eating bugs. That’s great that other people like them and all but bugs are not for me. I’m not sure what it is, exactly, that makes bugs too disgusting to eat compared to other foods but I know that it’s still too disgusting for me.

I have never eaten an insect that I can remember. Bugs may be a good source of nutrients but they will not be put into my diet for the health benefits.They have to look good ad maybe we'll have to see. The most disgusting thing I have eaten is a snail; “escargo” is another term. It did not taste good, more like chewing rubber.

I have eaten an insect once when I was in China town in DC. My dad dared me and I ate it. It was really crunchy and I would prefer not to eat another. Despite the health facts I still wouldn’t eat them. The most disgusting thing I have eaten was haggis. The Scottish side of my family loves to eat it and they made me try it.

I wouldn't want to eat an insect but if I had to I would. It might be a nutritious meal but you won't catch me digging for worms. For now, I will just stick to meat for protein. Maybe this is how vegetarians feel about eating meat. The most disgusting thing I have ever eaten would be a chocolate covered ant, by mistake when I was 5.

I would never touch an insect in my life. The health benefits of insects would never convince me to eat one. I would rather die fat and unhealthy than ever eat a bug in my life. The most disgusting thing I have ever eaten was spinach and corned beef. I will not touch any of those in my life.

Donovan said...

That's just disgusting, I would never eat an insect. It doesn't matter whether they are or if they're not good for you I still wouldn't eat it. I really don't remember what the most disgusting thing that I have ever eaten is.

Mary said...

I definitely would never eat an insect. I honestly would never eat a bug even with it being healthy I could never do it. I think the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten is dog food, but I was 3 and really had no idea as to what I was doing.

Sam said...

I have never eaten a bug and I never will. I wouldn’t care if they told me I had cancer and the cure was an insect, I still would not eat one. I would rather starve than eat an insect. That is the line I will not cross when it comes to food. The most disgusting thing I have eaten is squid, it just grosses me out.

Unknown said...

No I have not eaten an insect on purpose. That’s not to say that I haven’t eaten one on accident. I would try an insect; although it depends on the kind weather or not I would eat it again. No, the health issue did not convince me to put bugs into my regular diet. I’m not sure of the nastiest thing I have eaten.

jzilla said...

Bugs do not sound appetizing at all to me. I would not eat bugs when I can eat tons of different fruits that are healthy. I would however, eat bugs if they were my only food source available. I would definitely want my bugs roasted and possibly charcoaled. The most disgusting thing I have ever eaten was an couple of ants on a honey stick.

No i have not or ever eat an insect because I hate bugs except ladybugs, fireflies, and catipillars. No the health benifits would not convince me to incorporate bugs into my diet,it is proven that some bugs haev nutrients that are healthy. The most disgusting thing i've ever eaten is squash.

I have not eaten a bug. I will never eat a bug. I would never ever eat a bug cause it has nutrition. The disgusting i have drank was milk with vinegar in it. I didnt know it was in it though. I can say it taste horrible. Do not try it.

Unknown said...

I would never eat an insect that is beyond nasty! Regardless of the health benefits I still don’t think I could eat an insect. I would rather stick to fruits and vegetables for protein instead of bugs. I don't think I’ve ever eaten anything too disgusting. I get grossed out over the smallest things; even if there is just a little hair in my food I will not eat it.

As a kid I did but not now. I don't care how healthy they are. They are bugs,people don't eat bugs no a days.They kill them with bug spray or they squash them.Even if they are a great form of nutrients I am not going to eat bugs! No they would not. I like real meat,not bug meat. Then must disgusting thing I have ever eaten is shark. Though squid is not that tasty either.Shark is kind of like eating goose from what I hear. I just found it very bland and greasy.

I have never knowingly eaten an insect. If I have a choice, I will not eat a bug. The nutrient aspect of insects make them appealing, but they are still bugs. It's just gross. I don't remember the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten.

Unknown said...

I haven't and I never ever would eat an insect. Health benefits wouldn't make me want to either. Bugs are disgusting. The most disgusting thing I've eaten is Hamburger Helper and brussel sprouts.

Unknown said...

I have eaten a pig. Pigs taste very good. I love eating pig feet. I also love eating butterflies. I love how they flutter in my mouth when I chew them.

I believe that I have eaten an insect. It was quite interesting. I believe the bug I ate flew into my mouth. It tasted salty like a cashew. The health benefits could very seldom convince me to incorporate bugs into my diet. The most disgusting thing I've eaten was sheep liver. Boy do I love deer jerky!

Maurica said...

I really don't want to eat an insect. They look really nasty to me. I understand that bugs have health benefits, but that doesn't make them taste better. The sad thing is that I have already ate a bug but I didn't know what it was. The bug was in the candy and I thought it was some candy filling. Personally, as long as the bug taste good and I'm hungry, I guess it wouldn't kill me to eat it.

Unknown said...

I have not and will never eat an insect.I think I would rather eat unhealthy than eat a bug.I don't think I have ever ate anything that was pure disgusting maybe nasty but that's about it.

Unknown said...

Wow really we're eating bugs now? I don't think that I will ever eat a bug. I really don't care if they are suppose to be good nutrients or not! I don't remember eating anything nasty or weird so I wouldn't know what to say about that. Other than that why would anybody really get down and eat bugs!

Peyton said...

I would never eat bugs. That is disgusting! I wouldn't even eat it for my health. You would never convince me to eat anything that is still alive. The most disgusting thing I've ever eaten would probably be blue cheese, but I've tried many more nasty foods.

No I have never eaten an insect. No I would never eat insects. I can't think of anything that I've eaten that was disgusting. Bugs to gross me out, but it's still wierd. This was a really wierd topic Mrs. Bryant.

kendall;>) said...

Yes I eat insects all the time. I have some im munching on right now. The nutritional value doesn't have to because the taste does. I like eating sand.

Unknown said...

Yes, I have ate an insect before but, it was an accident. No, I don't think I could ever eat bugs just for my health. The most disgusting thing I have ever eaten would have to be Cranberry sauce. Ewww, so nasty.

Hannah said...

I don’t think I could eat a bug. I don’t care that it provides a great source of nutrition. I couldn’t handle the taste or texture. There is no way anyone could get me to eat a bug. I went out to dinner at an Italian and I ate calamari. I didn’t know what it was and after I found out it was fried squid I freaked out.

Anndrea said...

I've never eaten an insect. Even if it has nutrients I still wouldn't eat it today. The health benefits of eating bugs would still not convince me too eat a bug in my diet. The most disgusting thing i have eaten in my life is pig chitlines.

zac said...

No and I never will. So I still would not it them. There diseased riden and gross. They l;ive in their own filth. The most disgusting thing i've eaten is a night crawler.
