It's actually closer to a quarter of a kilogram, but we do accidentally eat insects. For example, the apples you see in the fruit stand are the pretty ones, undamaged and uninfested. But apples that go into apple sauce aren't as pretty, and often the insects that are on or inside them are chopped up and end up in the jars. Same goes for tomato soup, chocolate and many other products. There are guidelines for the allowed amount of insect, but it's impossible to completely filter them out.
Then there's the intentional eating of insects - pretty much all red sweets, cookies etc. are dyed using a pigment from a certain species of aphid, for example.
You won't ever notice this, and it's proven it's actually good for you - free protein!

Depends on what you eat and drink--for example, if you frequently drink watercress soup, you will drink in loads of insects, as a certain type of insect lives on watercress.
