Proof that meat is more powerful than vegetables

[Clovvach]

When I looked it up in the dictionary it said:

an animal or person that eats food of both plant and animal origin.



and yse some of us do eat bugs and maggots and soil, but generally, most of us eat plants and animals (and may be some fungi)

Do you like peanut butter? There's crushed bugs in peanut butter to add protein. (or maybe that's just an old wife's tale) There are also many drinks that will put bugs in them as well. You may be eating bugs and not even know it! :O Though, I have personally had a fried grasshopper and it literally did taste like chicken. The head was hollow though. I think his little brain must have melted. I do not recommend eating lady bugs. They have a terrible after taste. Mushrooms, used to hate them unless they were on pizza. Now I love them!

I once asked for a vegetarian chop suey at the local chinese take-away. When it was qalmost finished I saw the the little green specs were not broccoli, but greenfly.
So much for the vegetarian option.

The average 6-square bar of chocolate has 3 cockroaches in. But Cadburys only have about 1.

[Wesley]

Most of these numbers are made up. Let's look at the chocolate bar number: 3 roaches per bar, times millions of bars per year, equals no way is a facility that filthy, and highly improbable that millions of cockroaches are just waiting in line to jump into some chocolate. Now, you may say that it is when they process the cocoa beans that the roaches get in there. Okay, they split the pod, and there may be a roach or two. But next they sift the debris from the bean, roast the bean, remove the shell from the roasted bean, sift THAT debris, grind the roasted, shelled bean into paste and separate the cocoa butter from the rest. In all this sifting and separating and roasting, how likely do you think it is that 3 roaches end up in each bar? Or even one in each bar, for that matter? I think it was a Cadbury's employee who started this fun little rumor.

Anyway, these numbers are fun to share with each other. Good for a laugh. Not to be taken too seriously.

As a chocoholic I was very relieved to read that.








Not that I believed Ali's statement for a moment. I never found a cockroach in my chocolat.

I found some dead insects in a chocolate bar once, no cockroaches though.

[Beany]

I think it meant from the cocoa bean, when they were harvested. And they'd be crushed anyway.

[LaLou]

Ali, I hate to be the one who has to bring it to you.
Are you sitting down and holding onto something?

It's a smurf urban myth!

There. I said it.

[chex]

YES! haha, I LOL'd in real life!
