We found this little guy in our organic celery last night. This is why you clean your veggies friends.

Gross.

Nasty. So did you or Erin have the pleasure have being the one to eat this delicious delicacy?

Blogger Dan said,

The garbage can ate it.

Isn't this part of the allure of organic food? Nature made that maggot, and if you eat the maggot, you are one step closer to mother earth.

Although, this is why i don't eat fruits and vegetables... I've had run in's with fruit bugs before, but only after eating part, or several of then before i realized it. There's something unappetizing about something so natural (even the inorganic variety). At least the meat bugs are too small to notice.

C'mon Paul, we're made of tougher stuff than you think. Countless generations of evolution have conditioned us to handle most of the insects, and microbes that could be associated with "organic" or foods.

A few bugs are way more appetizing than a mouthful of pesticide.

It takes 2 seconds to examine your apple for a worm hole dude. But to each his own i suppose.

Blogger Paul said,

but it would take about $2000 more a year to afford apples that i'd have to check for wormholes.

and i'd have to start eating apples ($2000 worth!), which i think is much less likely. I'll just stick to vitamin pills.

Blogger Eric said,

Ah, man, I think eating apples with wormholes OR pesticide residue is much better than not eating apples... Pros are more numerous than the cons.

Blogger Ryan said,

Granny Smith are my favorite kind of apples.

Worms are supposed to be good for you anyway.
It's called protein, and you need it.
Unless they're parasites. Then you just get a free diet plan out of the thing.
