9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Ants are a reality of any picnic, as all hard-core summer picnickers know.Can we beat them? Honestly, no.
So we may as well join them ... or at least, have them join us. Chef Jacques Martine offers a recipe for chocolate covered ants at chefdepot. Strictly for gourmands, his recipe demands real vanilla bean from Madagascar and is full of helpful hints. My favorite tips:
- "avoid red ants -- they're too spicy"
- "Take care not to smash [the ants]. They stay more flavorful and retain extra moisture if intact."
- "these make great dessert garnishes!"

Also, you should try eating bees! They're hairy on the outside, but sweet and chewy on the inside. Bon Appetite! (But watch out for the stinger-you might wanna remove it before eating the bee!)

Right now as we speak I have about 15 ant bites on both of my feet because my lawn needed to be cut, no lie. If it was my choice chocalate is too good to waste but boric acid now that a treat.

I've had the unfortunate experience of eating them by mistake several times -- one crawling on an apple that I didn't notice when I bit into, for example. To the Vegetarian -- I respect your views and your desire not to harm or kill living things. However, science has proven with certainty that vegetables, trees, grasses also register "shock" and/or pain when they are cut, pulled up, yanked out, torn. I think everything on this earth that lives could very well be capable of feeling fear and pain, and in my culture, all things that live also have spirits. Sadly, whether it be a carrot or an ant or a chicken, unless we are "breathatarians," vegetarian or not, we all must kill something to live. I have been taught to be respectful of the life we take for food; bless it and say thank you, as do the people from my tribe, the Choctaw, do (and other Native Americans) and be grateful to the Creator every day for our own gift of life. Blessings to all ant eaters, vegetarians, and all of our relations! In the meantime, I won't be eating any chocolate covered ants. Ho!

Oh, and for those who are disgusted at the notion of eating bugs, do you eat lobster? Yup, Arthropods, just like ants. So when you eat that nice juicy lobster tail, you're really eating a giant bug. Chew on that!
