fortunately we are omnivores and while preferring to dine on the upper branches of the food chain tree nothing prevents homo sapiens sapiens from thriving on the lower branches even though they don't look or smell so pretty, everything's OK so long as our internal pathogen and infection defenses are in good order

Pick up viturally any container of mixed nuts and it will have a similar warning. Of course don't start reading too many food labels, it can get really scary. FDA's Food Alergen page is: http://www.fda.gov/ora/compliance_ref/cpg/cpgfod/cpg555-250.htm And you thought product safety standards were convoluted and political driven! We won't discuss the pages that address the standards for" "a. Insect Filth and Mold . . . contains an average of 1% or more insect infested and/or moldy pieces by weight. or b. Mammalian Excreta . . . contains an average of 1 milligram or more of mammalian excreta per pound. or c. Foreign Matter . . . contains an average of 1% or more pickings and siftings by weight, (What exactly is "Foreign Matter?) "The following represents the criteria for direct reference seizure: Insect Filth . . . contains an average of 100 or more insect fragments per 25 grams Rodent Filth . . . contains an average of 4 or more rodent hairs per 25 grams." and this is before it gets to the minimum wage food preparation specialist.
