Hey, think of the high-protein content of these “infestations” of insects. Egg yolks from free-range chickens are somewhat more nutritious because of all the bugs they chased and gulped down. Taking the insects in directly does convert the rather crude and incomplete proteins in mixed nuts into a biologically superior form of what are termed “complete” amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

When I was a kid, my stepmom worked at the cottage cheese factory. Her job was to go in every morning at 4:30AM and scare the cockroaches off a huge vat of cheese that was 10 or 12 feet across.

She said every day when she went in to work, the vat was carpeted with a squirming mass of cockroaches. Completely carpeted it. You couldn't see the white cheese underneath. She had a rake and a scoop to rake off and scoop out the dead ones who were left behind after the ones that were still alive bugged out.

Couldn't eat cottage cheese for 40 years after that!
