People say insects are the food of the future. They’re more environmentally sustainable and more humane than other sources of animal protein. Can they really catch on in western diets? I’m a pretty adventurous eater, but I’ve never actually tried edible insects. So when I got invited to an edible insect Thanksgiving feast, I had to say yes. Along the way I learned that eating bugs isn’t really that new for humans, and that this really could be a delicious food we all eat in the near future.

I was shocked to see creatures moving in some very old flour, which means their eggs must have been there when I bought it (albeit dormant) since it was in a sealed container,,,

Yes, flour worms, although they are not really worms. That worries me, I thought they sneaked in later, but in a sealed container? That shouldn’t be possible.
