Ok folks, this will really make you forget your carbs! My father-in-law worked for a milling company and one of the inspectors at his company had an unusual part of his job description. He had to take samples of the flour being milled to determine how many bug parts per million their were. Apparently, the FDA has a standard for how many part per million are allowed before it can be consumed by humans!:nono: (Have a hard time eating anything with flour in it without thinking how many bugs I am eating!):D

Oh come on, what's a little extra protein among friends? And good and plenty WAS my favorite candy...sigh.
