I have a lot of bad news for you. Nothing is bugging free.
Bug parts are found any many seasons. I mean many! I hope you don't eat chocolate!
Not to mention rodent bones and hair. There is an acceptable amount in our food.

Wait. What do you mean by “chocolate”?!?!

I know the FDA allows a certain number of rat hairs in peanut butter, but I didn’t know there were bugs in chocolate!
Chocolate comes from the coco bean. All kinds of worms and such eating them.

if you don't want to eat bugs/poop/hair... you basically have to give up eating.

Coffee, black pepper, fruit, peanut butter, chocolate, jelly, raisins, tomato juice/sauce/paste, nuts, fruit juice, nectar, spaghetti/pasta, cereals, pretty much any canned goods or processed (such as grains/flour/bread/crackers/cookies... etc) asparagus, frozen/canned spinach, spices, snacks, tea.... on and on.

I guess you probably end up eating less if you give up everything canned and processed but that means giving up things like flour and canned stuff like tomato sauce which is often used in cooking and baking.

I remember seeing something years ago about tilapia being a genetically and masproduced fish like product , that isn’t actually a fish .

no matter what it is . I have never tried it
Commercial tilapia are one of a couple of hybrids. Not genetically modified. It is also quite tasty, and one of the few fish that's going to survive into our future, so best to acquire a taste for it.


As for the macroalgae: considering the number of zoonotic diseases we can catch from fish -- most of which are probably in our aquariums right now, given the trans-global-dying-fish-stew-pot that is the commercial aquatics chain of custody -- eating it would be a remarkably foolish thing to do.

I’m with you there, don’t we use bat poop or cow poop to fertilize those veggies?
