The average person inadvertently consumes almost two pounds of bugs / insects each year.

Bugs are not dense / heavy. In fact they are pretty light. How many bugs would it actually take to tip the scale for two whole pounds? Lots and lots and lots.
 
One time when I used to live in flushing queens new york, I was walking home with my friend whitney and along the way I felt something in my mouth and I picked it out and there was a tiny fly inside! like a fruit fly, I haven't a clue where it came from.

But I didn't say anything, I didn't tell whitney I didn't go I just found a fly in my mouth! I just took it out and continued walking with her.
 
We have an ant problem in our house (me and my housemates) and ants would just get into food stuff, especially my frosted flakes cereal :/ I remember one time I ate frosted flakes with ants in them... After eating more than half of the bowl only did I realised that there were frigging ants in my cereal.
 
That's gross to know now.. thanks Nebulous! I'll probably sleep better at night. Actually, I may eat less bugs than most people, because I sleep with my mouth closed most of the time.

Im not talking about bugs you know about.. Bugs are in everything you eat.. Well not everything, but when they are, you dont even know it.

You can't control what you do when you're sleeping
