"The FDA permits a typical jar of peanut butter to contain over 100 bug parts. A can of tomatoes can include one maggot or up to nine fly eggs."

Your comments about Bug parts remind me of when I was in the Peace Corps. Once, while at this village in the Heart of the Amazon, at dusk, just as the sun had set but the light had not yet disappeared completely, the Adults of the village would gather their children below the age of 5-8 and carry them into their huts so that they would not be out of the open. What would happen as soon as the last light left the jungle is that these Giant Teste Flies (bout the size of a VW Bug) would buzz into their village and swoop down and carry away any small child or mammal that happened to be in the open. God, all night long until till the first light of the morning one would hear screams echoing throughout the jungle. I tried to convince the government to send help, like cans of Raid or something, but alas, they did not believe me. So many Flies and so few children left 'cause of them. Such a sad situation it was, I heard recently that the natives made giant fly paper from the sticky sap trees of the jungle so as to capture the flies as they swoop down at night. I hope they are successful in their endeavor to save what is left of their children and small pets. Later . . .
