The average person accidentally consumes one pound of bugs each year, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).
This is because fruits, vegetables, spices and many processed foods are legally permitted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to contain tiny levels of bug parts, which add up over time.
For example, fig paste can contain up to 13 insect heads in 100 grams, canned fruit juices can have a maggot for every 250 milliliters and 10 grams of hops used to make beer can be the home for 2,500 small sap-sucking insects.
And while there is much debate over the number of bugs we consume in our sleep, scientists agree that it is not zero.

Eating insects may not sound appetizing, but most people consume them daily without realizing it.
The FDA's Food Detects Levels Handbook outlines the amount of insect heads, thoraxes, legs and even whole bugs that are allowed in a specific food.
There can be up to five whole insects in Apple Butter, 500 grams of larva in berries and 10 percent of packaged coffee beans are allowed to be infested with critters.
And after you have eaten 220 pounds of chocolate in your life, you can be sure you also consumed one pound of bugs.

IOW, if you're going cannibal, avoid the Soros.
Bill Gates want to up the amount to 300 pounds of insects for the ‘everyday people’... And zero for the ‘elites’...
“John the Baptist ate bugs, why shouldn’t you?”
Bet he got tired of fish after all that time in the river. :D
I meant to post a comment to the effect of, “Big deal: They’re trying to get us to eat insects anyway” but I must not have posted it.
