Cultures in most parts are rational when it comes not to eating specific things, when it comes to animals/insects it's mostly about parasites.


That reminds me of the story of Sam Ballard, who ate a slug due to a dare and fell into a coma, woke up paralyzed, and later died.

Doesn't cooking get rid of most parasites?
