Perhaps, but I am not so concerned about the bugs. It's like somone
said, would you rather drink water from a pond that had live fish in
it or no fish. The answer is live fish, because if fish can't live in
it, it's possibly poison. The alternative to occasional eggs in grain
is that they will use pesticides around it and possibly contaminate
the food. I prefer natural food. The less anyone does to it the
better. In fact, I was wishing I could buy farina without the added
iron. I don't need the iron and all brands I find have 45% of the
daily requirement per serving. Problem is I eat about 6 daily
servings. dkw
