The organic pupa waffles are void. »g«

One of the things that annoy me somewhat, are people who are all self-righteous about eating only chemical free food. Forgetting that everything in existence is chemicals, other than energy.
"Let's ban dihydrogen monoxide from the water system! 100% of people who have ingested dihidrogen monoxide will die!"
"Mercury in vaccines is responsible for autism!"

Now, obviously, there are some chemicals that are dangerous. But just because something is touted as organic doesn't mean it is harmless. Botulinum toxin for example. Yes, it is used medically (in fact, my mom used to have it injected into her vocal cords to help with her spasmodic dysphonia.) But it is the same chemical responsible for botulism.

Moderation in all things, including moderation. :)
We are all the result of huge nuclear bombs, but I wouldn't want one to go off right next to me.

Silkworm pupae as snack food. http://kuec.libsyn.com/episode-200-at-last-larva

The overemphasis on biocides, manufactured fertilizers, and huge monocultural farms is dangerous. And a lot of the monoculture of corn and soybeans goes to feeding cattle, which we eat to much of in general.

This was one of my son's favorite things when he was younger. With the right spin, yes--basic water can seem lethal.

Natural does not always equal good, but people forget that. Aresenic is natural. So is cyanide. Heck, death is natural too-- but we don't typically embrace it!

Excellent article :)

Moderation is a good thing, eating silkworm pupae is not. I suppose water (dihidrogen monoxide) can be dangerous - I've read that it is a universal solvent, but a moderate amount is necessary.

I really liked that.

Over worry isn't healthy. It's all about balance and good sense.

I must admit that I prefer processed food to larvae. Call me crazy. :P

And yes, people who keep preaching about chemical free food can be annoying. Link us up, pass us the leaflet, and then let us choose! (and please bring your own food)

I love it. All food is comprised of chemicals. When did we forget this?

Personally, I try to cook with more whole foods. If the happen to be pesticide/hormone free that's a plus! Thanks for penning! Peace~~~D
