Okay, hypothetically, if it was like fear factor and someone would give you a million dollars to eat a cup filled with live insects, would you do it?
I really just want to know who would do it and why would you do it?
For me, I don't think that a million is enough for me to eat a cup of insects.. I don't think I would do it even if it's for a billion dollars..
My husband told me he'd do it for a billion dollars because it's a cup of insects, if it's one insect he'll do it for a million.. lol.. I won't even eat a bug if it's a million...
What about you?

Not really. The potential health risks might end up costing you far more in heath risks then a million dollars. Plus. $1 million nowadays in today's economy isn't much. Perhaps for $1 billion but even then. 
I personally would rather make such good money rather then have someone hand it to me.

I guess it depends the type of bugs you eat? I heard some are good for you!

Many people eat bugs, I don't think there will be such an expensive doctor's bill just for eating a cup of bugs..
But thanks for the answer and the insight~ I love the part where you're able to earn a million, but I don't think that I'll be able to earn a million in a day.. lol

no, I wouldn't do that. Even if i managed to do it, I'd need that money for a medical bill 'cause I'd get really sick. I don't think I'd want to do that, not even for a million dollars.

For a million dollars I would like to say that I would, but I don't think my body would let me. My body would physically not allow that I know for a fact because when I eat something I don't like I will gag, but when I am in a situation that is uncomfortable to me I kind of panic so I don't think my mind is strong enough to over come the physical inability to eat a bunch of bugs. I just don't think I could do it even if I wanted to and even for a million dollars.

I feel that as well, it's just too grotesque!!
Then I start thinking whether there's any other ways that I may do it, the insects blended in it, you crush it and you eat it with food, urrgh.. and everything that comes up I feel more repulse on the idea of getting money by eating insects.. urgh

How big would that cup be? For every bug in the world, that'd be a huge cup, there are big bugs out here, and most of them would be extremely lethal or poisonous and it would probably cost more than a million dollars to fix all the problems you would have to go through, even if you're alive still, you'll probably be paralyzed and unable to move anyway!
Haha, I suppose I'm a pessimist. :]

I don't know if I can do it. Imagining the crawlers,the flies can give me chicken skin. In some reality shows some contestants can do it. It could be mind over matter experience. But I still don't know, maybe if my children is in the crowd shouting my name giving me courage and inspiration...

Yes, sometimes having family support gives us extra strength.. but I most probably might not be able to do it unless I'm really desperate for the money.. lol

Hi, quarvalsharess. As bad as I need money right about now, I would not do it. The thought of something crawling inside of my body, no way.. This insect could attach itself and eat through me.. No way.
This is not even worth a million dollars for. I guess I will just have to be broke on this day.

lol!! How about a billion dollars, and you can chew the insects..
but I do believe if I have to take care of a baby girl and have no money whatsoever, that I would do.. if I'm just all by myself, I think I won't!! lol

I think it would depend on how big the cup was. Also I would have to be guaranteed that I would definitely get the money after I ate them. Also I would want a large glass of soda to help gag it down. Then maybe I would do it.
Wait a minute, who am I kidding, I wouldn't be able to do it. I'd probably get sick all over the place.

That's what I thought, but the first response actually changed my thinking, that if I really had nothing and had to support and care for a little baby, then yes, I think I would, and yes, I'd make sure that they will pay up!!

There isn't enough money in th world to convince me to eat an insect. If you are offering me an insect to eat, you had better lie to me about it. It gives the chills to even think of it!@quarvalsharess (989)

Many people in the world like to eat insects actually.. sighs.. and they made like insect candies and a lot of people actually flock to buy it... Some just fry it and people eat it like pop corn.. *I'm having goosebumps!*
