You eat 430 bugs every year.

According to studies done by the United States Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada, people in North America eat approximately one kilogram of insects per year. In fact, the two governments developed a document called the Maximum Level of Insect Infestation in Food. For example, 30 insect fragments are permissible in 100 grams of peanut butter. That brings new meaning to phrase extra crunchy.  Canned mushrooms may contain as many as 2 larvae and 75 mites. Most insects are very nutritious. Grasshoppers have less fat and almost four times as much protein as beef.
