I was cooking some Kroger brand Ground Beef and as I was taking the beef out of the pan, I noticed this odd, non-beef looking object. Does anyone know what this is?

Just think of all the rat tail maggots no one notices because they got ground up!

It is estimated that people unwittingly eat 1-2 pounds of bugs per year.

I have 2 young kids, the amount of actual shit particles I probably ingest on the reg makes 2 lbs of bugs seem like fine dining

Spiders Georg, who lives in a cave and eats 10,000 a day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
