In Response To: Secret ingrediants? What's in them cookies :D (!RUSS)

I heard an interview on the radio a few weeks ago, with a researcher about eating bugs. She was saying that if you get stuck in the wilderness, bugs should be the first source of protien to look for. They are a very good source. Crickets and grasshoppers were tops, and ants were up there. Stay away from 8 or more legged bugs, and brightly colored ones. Basically anything the wildlife eats is edible - mayflies etc...

Ive actually had chocolate covered ants, and chocolate covered grasshoppers. But in COOKIES?!?! That's disgusting Rehd!

: any like....well....you know ...secret ingrediants in those cookies? I
: mean crunchy bugs might ....Naw you wouldn't... :D LOL
