In the first 10 blueberries, in at least 8 of them were the tiniest, almost invisible little white worms...just wiggling in there. The skin on the blueberries was perfect.

So ....there you go! THE BLUEBERRY STORY!
Don't ask for my review on the local pizza though!
Aw, you eat lots of bugs every day. Cereals and grains are allowed a certain amount of bug parts per pound. No big deal.

Again, in our normal food supply you eat a lot of bugs everyday and just don't know it. Besides, they are low fat protein - no big deal.

New Person Roast...


"First on my list would be a small park and a playground"
" I kinda wish I didn't feel the civic responsibility to vote."
" My brain is drained"
"Clearly these are two ridges that surround one long valley."
" The valley created by glaciers...The Susquehanna just happened to drop into it for a run"
" I was in the busy, bizarre, and rather useless world of Turkey Hill the other night......"
" Ha, ha, we should just ban photos in public places"

Who might I be?

Beleive it or not...the man who discovered the blueberries said you'd rathter have the worms than have them spraying the fruit with insectide.

I saw the worms myself...it was REALLY gross...tiny as a white hair...just sticking out and wiggling...a few in each.....
