    I’m sure my imagination is worse than reality, but I’m afraid to read the article and find out.

    I assume it’s either ant vomit, feces, or something that’s fermented… Possibly all three.

      It’s not that bad. A traditional yogurt-making practice is to put a couple ants into some milk. The microorganisms and enzymes that the ants introduce helps kick off the fermentation of the milk, turning it into yogurt.

        I think I might be the only one in this thread that doesn’t totally hate this idea. Lol. But I also don’t really have a problem with the idea of eating ants in general. They taste of vinegar, and are overall a bit tasty.

          It’s no worse than how hotdogs are made. Fewer assholes, anyway.
