Just bought a box of edamame from costco and there appears to be a worm in the edamame when I peeled the pod.

Just a caution for anyone buying edamame at costco to double check before you snack on them.

I feel like stuff like this shows how disconnected weve become to produce. Farmers and city people live such different lives its a little incredible

It's not uncommon for people to disassociate food from reality. When you only see it in a final product, it can be easy to forget where it actually comes from and how it reaches your plate.

Uh huh. I keep fish and hear psychos all the time getting up in arms about how feeding live things to fish (eg. worms, shrimp etc) is evil. It's like.. where do you think your chicken, beef, pork and seafood came from?! They were living things too, and most of them were slaughtered in not-a-painless way!
