Reply to comment by racooncubbler in TIL the FDA’s Food Defect Action Levels Handbook details the acceptable levels of contaminants of food from sources such as maggots, thrips, insect fragments, “foreign matter”, mold, rodent hairs, and insect and mammalian feces. by anogre8me
One stage in human evolution was carrion eaters, they’d wait for a predator to kill an animal and then just chase away the predator
There’s some vestigial behavior that’s definitely been carried on from that- like dry aged meat and “garum” sauce- so I don’t think it actually bothers people that there’s cooked bugs in their food

Reply to comment by DrJGH in Sheep flocks operate as a type of ‘collective intelligence’ and elect temporary leaders to guide them while moving. The fluidity of this process is extremely surprising. by nimobo
The idea being if one sheep knows the way though a maze- that sheep is the leader
I imagine that a sheep stays the leader until they say, whether they mean to or not “I’m not the leader anymore” and they follow suit- because they’re literally sheep
