Would you eat oatmeal knowing there are dried bugs in it?

I use to until I read that Oatmeal has a certain percentage of dried dead bugs in it. Now I can’t stand the stuff. Will you still eat it knowing this?
I just don’t see myself eating bug wings in a online pharmacy without a prescription hot bowl of cereal.
Im not a huge oatmeal eater, (though I probably should) But as long as I dont see bugs in there, it doesnt bother me, I often find weevils in flour, And I know it must have come that way, because I keep it in an airtight container as soon as I bring it home. so I always sift it first. It at least breaks up all the little bug mummies in there.
Yes . Insects are a wonderful source of protein , and , well , as long as it does me no harm , why not ?!?!
ewwwwwwwwwwwww i think i quit eating oatmeal now,,,thanks
Yea Ill still eat it. I eat chocolate and ALL chocolate has bug fragments in it too. And cereal has bugs and mouse hair in it. We could go on. Factory packed ground beef has a small percetage of human in it too. You want me to go on??….
Oatmeal helps lower cholesterol and may reduce the risk of heart disease. It contains a wide array of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and can help control your weight. Yes it does contain some bug parts but you probably already eat things that contain gross stuff such as gelatin, (crushed up animal bones). Try to think about how good it is for you. I love to eat it bugs and all.
A lot of foods are allotted a certain percentage of "natural contaminants."
Peanut butter
Canned fruit
Flour

I don’t eat Oatmeal anyway so i have no problem.

Okay, this is gross, but one time I opened one of those cardboard can oatmeal thingys, and looked in, and there were these meal worm looking things, that were the same color as the oatmeal, you had to look hard, but there were about 1/4 of the contents. Haven’t eaten oatmeal since, or granola bars either since that guy that was eating one, looked at the bar after he had taken a bite, and noticed maggots.
Damn, now I’m hungry.
No. Put your oatmeal in a airtight container
everything has SOME bugs in it, its best not 2 think about it!
