We live in a vast world with lots of cultures, traditions, and races. And by all means, there will be lifestyles that are foreign to any of us and will shock the hell out of us. But there are also cultures and habits that develop out of the lack of a better process that eventually turns into culture and habits. Eating uncooked ants is definitely one of them.

There is nothing amazing about eating ants raw, it is simply a barbaric carnivore act that probably could be found in parts of Europe, and Lupita most likely falling under peer pressure amongst her white peers decided to eat raw ants and recommend it to her social media followers.
Ants are eusocial insects that creatures that eat everything. In nature, they feed on the milk of aphids and other small Hemiptera, insects, and small living or dead invertebrates, as well as the sap of plants and various fruits. They also eat insect eggs.
Eating ants raw can lead to lots of infections and even potentially other insects growing inside of you. Being from Africa, Lupita should know better than that and should use her presence amongst them to make a statement that that is not healthy, and should know to eat cooked food or plants only.
Watch her below amongst her Hollywood ant-eating lovers.
