Why I don't lick the batter bowl anymore - read about flour, the piles of wheat are stored in huge facilities and mice run over them, doing what mice do. At no point in the flour making process is the flour sterilized. So, nothing with raw flour for me, thanks all the same. I imagine this goes for "All natural" flour as well.

And who is to say that eating ground up bugs is any grosser than eating ground up cows? That is just a cultural thing, not set in stone. Plenty of people around the world eat bugs.

Like I said it probably won't kill me but I won't spend my money to eat it.

i lick the bowl, the beaters ..but i don't put my gum in the sugar bowl anymore
...my father grew sugar beets down in oxnard california. one time he took me with him when he visited the sugar factory in our town (oxnard was still a town then, not the city it is now). we walked along the catwalk that surrounded one of the silos filled w raw sugar ready for processing. i was amazed at the way the workers walked around in the piles of sugar in their dirty boots that they also wore outside in the work yards, spitting tobacco, shooing away the occassional rodent that got in their way as they worked racking the sugar piles smooth to accept the next delivery of sugar until the silo was full.
...daddy looked at me and said "now that you se how dirty the sugar is maybe you and your brothers will stop putting your gum in the sugar bowl?" ...sigh ..we were so sure that if we put it in the sugar bowl for a few hours or over night it would absorb the sugar and be sweet again ...but we stopped the practice ..eventually. we outgrew it more than being appalled by the chew, rodents & dirty boots

At least in making sugar from sugar cane, some heat (pretty intense I would bet) is applied!! I never heard of leaving gum in the sugarbowl - thought it was supposed to go on the bedpost overnight!

I thought the gum was supposed to go on the underneath side of the school desk!

I agree. People are arrogant enough to think what they do will change the outcome. Silly,silly people.

I don't waste my time reading stuff like that. We are not in charge of our destiny. I am a junk eater along with healthy foods. I mainly eat whatever I want. ai love Mac & cheese, ground beef and most everything else. I always ask myself if they will serve this in heaven, any doubts at all, I say I better eat it now just in case.
