maggots in wheaties

[Greg Bernhardt]

i heard that some college kid did an experiment on a wheaties box. He poured the box into a plastic container, watered it every day and waited for a few months and beatles and maggots grew out of them. He discovered that the company can't get all the eggs out of the wheat so the fda allows for some transfer. ewwwwwwww

Hmmm ever wondered about what you take in just by breathing?

 

[esp]

Would gamma irradiation or pasteurisation not kill them all?

Mmmmm... cruuunchy.
Just a smattering of what the FDA says is ok for you:
