| David Gracer shows off his bug collection |
(Scroll down for video) If its fine to eat all types of creatures from the sea why not eating all types of creatures which live on the ground? One person, who is obsessed with eating insects, and has already consumed thousands of bugs, asked.
The man addicted to eating insects has revealed he has eaten more than 5,000 species of bugs during the past 11 years.
David Gracer, 47, appeared on an episode of TLC My Crazy Obsession, which showed him grazing on insects like cockroaches, flies and spiders.
The married father of one, of Providence, Rhode Island, maintains a steady supply of his favorite snacks in the freezer so that never runs out of insects, and claims people are quick to judge him negatively.
He said: "They have said I'm crazy, sick, weird, and I mean that's what it's like to be in an unpopular position. There is a complete double standard out there because people love insects, provided they are from the sea, like crabs, shrimp and lobster, they believe that they are very good to eat, but if the bugs are in the earth, suddenly it is eww.”
“I guess this man really has a valid point by comparing insects from the sea to the ones on the ground, but I still would never eat a bug, despite the fact that I eat lobster. I don’t understand how his wife does not puke watching her husband eating all these disgusting looking bugs at the dinner table,” Sharlene Puckett, 20, of Providence, Rhode Island told YourJewishNews.com after watching the video.
The school teacher has more than 12,000 insects from 20 different species stored in his freezer at home.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
