"The average human eats eight spiders in a lifetime at night."

I read the average American eats 13 lbs of bugs a year.

Apparently they get mixed in with mixed greens and other edibles. Presumably these are the dead ones. It would seem to me that for one to eat a spider at least one of you would have to be awake. Thus the "at night" probably means "while asleep."

After seeing the flies in the cookie case at the bakery in Pavillion's yesterday, I can see how such things happen.

I understand most bugs are mostly protein.
