Chicago Police and the FBI are investigating if saboteurs placed bugs in a breakfast buffet prepared for delegates at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday.
“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building…and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food,” the convention’s information center said in a statement. “The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation.”
It was mealworms, not maggots. Still, I wouldn’t want mealworms in my food
That’s not as bad actually. Mealworms are edible and people eat them, but they do have to be raised for human consumption and we don’t know if these were. I haven’t eaten mealworms, but I have other insects. Maggots are another story.
