Peter, a 32-year-old from the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, has unusual taste buds. For breakfast and lunch, he eats earthworms, grasshoppers, cockroaches, and termites.
“As a child, I used to play with bugs a lot, but as I got older, I started eating small bugs. At first, my family would scold me for eating bugs, but now I can’t stop.
At the moment, I eat 364 different kinds of insects, but I want to eat 564 different kinds of insects. I want to set a new Guinness world record by eating one kilogram of earthworms in ten minutes, “said Peter.
