I just read this news, how peoples are crazy about their body and fitness? Mexican beauty Salma Hayek has confessed that she eats bugs like grasshoppers, ants and worms to stay fit! "These little ants fried are amazing - with a little guacamole. And the worms. there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavour to them. It's the way they cook them, and it's really good," the Hollywood star told David Letterman on his talk show when asked about her diet. She also insisted that everyone should try the delicious creepy crawlies. She is suggesting that everyone should eat ? I will never eat bugs or anything similar for a healthy body at all. Maybe that would be the last option to do so if at all I have to survive and this is the only cure . Would you eat a bug for a hot and healthy body? http://www.idiva.com/bin/idiva/Would-you-eat-a-bug-for-a-hot-body?ApReferalURL=INDT

I would not care how great my body was promised to look. There is nothing that could make me eat a bug. I could never be on one of those reality shows where you had to eat a bug. I would take myself out of the game first.

There's a better way of staying fit. Just drink Fit N Right, a brand of pineapple juice drink with added L-Carnitine that are known to burn fat the healthy way. It's delicious and healthy given there are many other antioxidants you can get from the pineapple juice.

Very good suggestions, juice is a very good source for body needs and not bulky in the stomach as well. I prefer juice instead of eating anything else. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Ajay! For a hot body? Nope. Unless it's a one-shot deal of course. Eat a bug now and be fit for life. I have tried woodworms before and I did not like it. I was not disgusted, I just think that it did not taste good. It tasted like wood. Take care!

I've heard about bugs that can make you hot, they called it korean bugs, Not tried it though, But Koreans as I've seen in the side walk, selling different kinds of steam bugs, ground snake powder and put in a capsule and other dried insects, According to them it can cure sickness or what ever.. maybe that's their traditional medicine.. but I can't intake that king of meds, unless I have no choice..

Inserts is good food as long it is healthy - Inserts in different culture is a delicacy.
Eating inserts are quite ok actually , because human has been eating things worst than inserts like pigs,cows,goats,birds,monkeys,chicken and such and many more. At least inserts is smaller and such.Only because of different culture wise we don eat them, but in some country is a delicacy.Personally i don mind eating bugs and such as long the smell and taste is ok and it is really healthy.

Supposedly pound for pound they have 3 times as much protein as beef does. But, I don't see why anyone would need to eat bugs unless they are in a survival situation.

Forget about Media, they just need something to run on their channel and any stupid story will work for them. I trust only few media channels. If its a must to cure some problem, definitely will have to take it.

For moral reasons or health reasons? If it is for health reasons than I would just like to say that it isn't fat and meat that makes a person gain fat, it is the unneeded carbohydrates that we are consuming from a high grain diet. But, alas, the mainstream media will not tell you any of this information, for dark sinister reasons....

Unless you only eat organic food, and avoid processed goods like the plague, you already have eaten bugs. on more than one occasion. It's amazing the kind of things than can get into the big vats and such. Quality control is somewhat of a joke. Would I eat a bug, directly...knowingly? Probably not, but I don't know when I'll ever get the thought " I may as well give it a shot." I've got friends who say chocolate covered roaches taste good. I tell them that should apply to everything...because you're focusing more on the chocolate flavoring. If I came in contact with a bug the size of the one in Men In Black, and somebody dumped chocolate on it, I'd gnaw on the thing as a form of self defense. If I survive, that would be a huge boon for my physical health. I'm sure my mental health would be pretty rattled though.

I don't like eating exotic food especially insects, I can't take it for sure. But if I were in a situation that leads me no choice but to it bugs to live then I would take it than dying. For now, I still have food in our table so better enjoy my meals and I will never torture myself to try exotic food.

I feel disgusted while reading your article... I can't imagine how can I swallow an insect, even for survival. I can't understand the person who sacrifice so much to a hot body. For me, a happy life with a good health is much more important than a handsome/beautiful appearance.
