People say they don’t want to eat meat because they are afraid of parasites. Then why aren't more people afraid of eating fruits and veggies? It's because most people don't know the other side of the story.

First, It is false that all meat contains parasites. 

It's also false that worms GROW in meat. 

Insects like flies lay larvae inside meat and those eggs hatch and turn into the maggots that you see on some viral videos. But this also happens with fruit and veggies. 

Tapeworms and parasites feed off sugar and anything that turns to sugar. This includes pasta, crackers, bread and even fruit.

Cyclospora & Giardia are 2 of the most common parasites found in fruit. 

You can get worms from ANY food.. including vegetables & fruit. Everything must be taken into the proper context! 

PS. In some cultures they regularly ate caterpillars, worms and insects on their fruit and veggies. (Just as gorillas do)
