The Department of Health and Human Services has set a standard called the Food Defect Action Levels, which (to quote a publication) "are set on the basis of no hazard to health... These levels are set because it is not possible, and never has been possible, to grow in open fields, harvest and process crops that are totally free of natural defects."
Product Action Level
Apple butter 5 insects per 100g
Berries 4 larvae per 500g OR 10 whole insects per 500g
Ground paprika 75 insect fragments per 25g
Chocolate 80 microscopic insect fragments per 100g
Canned sweet corn 2 3mm-length larvae, cast skins or fragments
Cornmeal 1 insect per 50g
Canned mushrooms 20 maggots per 100g
Peanut butter 60 fragments per 100g (136 per lb)
Tomato paste, pizza, and other sauces 30 eggs per 100g OR 2 maggots per 100g
Wheat flour 75 insect fragmnets per 50g

That's just tempting fate.
I'm sure it can. Haven't you seen the method of gold-plating things? The sheets of gold they use are thinner than paper!

I thought Atlas's punishment was holding up the skies, not the Earth.

Canadian soldier, Corporal Rob Furlong holds the record for the longest range confirmed kill in combat at 2,430 meters ( over 1.5 miles ), using a McMillan Tac50 .50 rifle in Afghanistan in 2002.
This was previously held by Carlos Hathcock, who had a confirmed kill in Vietnam in 1967 at 2,300m using a Browning scope-mounted machine gun.
