man vs. food....could you do it?

On man vs. food I’ve seen two uses for maggots; one was with maggots and other nutrients are fed to birds and also are fed to spiders and other venomous insects. Birds are not always fed the nutrients they need. They go through a process where they kill maggots and put it with the fat that they have rendered. They put them in aluminum walls that are shaped like squares with holes on the top and bottom. They have plastic and other things that lay under the aluminum walls so the birds’ food doesn’t leak when it hardens.

There bird food is more expensive then most because of how much nutrients is in the food.costumers complain about the pricing. also the bird food comes in 2 different packets.the food contains maggots, and fats that they render. the food gets compacted and harden into a square.

The couple that collects spiders and other venomous insects gets the insects venom and use it for research (they milk the insects lol). When they collect venom from a widow spider they milk a lot of widows. The guy has been bitten over a thousand times but that’s only because he plays with them. The scorpions are easier to get venom out of because they have a tail. They use a lid and tweezers to keep the scorpion from moving.

The couple feed the spiders maggots but before they feed the spiders they put them in a bag. then put them in hot/warm water and that kills them faster. they raise regular house fly's and also fruit fly's. they even have grasshoppers that they feed to different species. when your in a fruit fly place where there are millions of them in one room never open your mouth or just get out before you have a fly flying in your insides lol.

Some people even eat the maggots alive. Some people use it as a cocktail dish. Also venomous species use their venom for protection but we use it for finding solutions to diseases that could possibly be cured by venom. Venom is helping with diseases as we find the technology to use the venom for. I don't how people do this but they do; are you able to live with what they do?
