OAKDALE, Pa. — Caution: Reading this story may rob you of your appetite, especially if you are about to sit down to lunch at a Pa. public school.
This, because some western Pennsylvania elementary school students dined on something that wasn't on the school lunch menu Monday – bugs.
Specifically, rice weevils, those tiny, beetle-like insects often found in older boxes of rice.
News station WPXI-11 in Pittsburgh is reporting that the West Allegheny School District has fessed up to serving up bags of the insect-laden starch to about 130 students at three elementary schools.
