NAKHON NAYOK THAILAND People around the world eat different unusual foods Some eat insects like grasshoppers or flies Paisit Chanta 39 eats something unusual too a worm a day
His habit began 30 years ago while he was sitting in a boat and waiting for a fish to bite There was nothing to eat in the boat and he got hungry Chanta looked at his can of worms Suddenly I realized that fish dont die from eating worms he said later so I wont either Chanta ate them one by one until he felt full They werent bad
Now Chanta is crazy about worms and thinks they are like medicine I eat a worm a day to stay healthy he says Chanta works as a fire fighter and often digs for worms near the fire station We are used to that says a coworker but we still think it is strange
Chanta does not care what others think To me the worms taste just like rice
