Primates make tools to help eating ants, among other things. It’s a bit of an unusual snack, but people eat ants too. We are anteaters? How much of your diet needs to be ants before you’re considered an anteater?

Human anteaters live among us and they look just like any other human.

If you eat one ant, you are an anteater. You may not even have consciously have eaten one. It could have been hidden in your sandwich or mixed in with a soup. You may be an anteater and not even known it 😳

Most of us are rat shit eaters anyhow.

Ants georg is an outlier and should not be counted.

I haven't had ants, specifically, but I have eaten termites. Can I join anteater club?

It’s a bit of an unusual snack, but people eat ants too.

There’s a traditional dish using ant butts some ~500km down north from where I live. Video related - ant butts, yucca meal, garlic, bacon, onion.

I personally never tasted it, but I’m mildly curious about it.

I see what you did there

Arthur is an aardvark, which is an anteater

It kinda makes sense doesn’t it?

Like, aren’t ants one of, if not the, biggest chunk of living biomass on earth?

Something’s gonna wanna eat all that.

If God didn’t want us to eat ants, why did he make them so damn delicious?
