It's all relative




One of the things my four year old loves, especially on his birthday, is Cheese Puffs. As I watched him eat them I thought, "Is this really a food item? What exactly is a Cheese Puff? Is there any nutritional value at all in those things?"
And then for some reason, I made the grand connection to those large white worm/larvae things that kids eat in other parts of the world. That's when I came to the humble realization those those kids eating the raw worms are getting a more nutritious meal.
If we were to switch my son and a kid who eats large white larvae, they would be equally grossed out at the prospect of eating what the other kid deems so delicious.
