If you've ever watched 'Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern' you've probably seen him chew on and sometimes choke down some of the most disgusting looking food on the planet--even live slimey bugs. But even some of the most delectable foods we consume every week has an origin. If you stop and think about where it comes from, it's not that appealing. Beef, chicken, and pork are good examples, but we still consume them. But what about bugs?

I've eaten a few bugs in my time, even a worm on a bet. Pretty tasteless, really, but I made a buck. Little did I know it then but it was actually good for me. And now that I ride a motorcycle I get a little shot of protein on occasion.

But I think bugs are an overlooked food source that we ought to reconsider. Watch the video and tell me what you think.
