Damn.. that's Gross !Time to get digging!
A Canadian biochemistry professor wants to examine the idea that picking and eating your own boogers might actually be good for your health.
Children are usually scolded for indulging in this socially taboo practice, but Scott Napper, an associate professor at the University of Saskatchewan, is telling parents to hold on to their judgment. The scientist says that exposing the body to the germs caught inside mucus might help build immunity.
It might serve as almost a natural vaccination, if you will,” Napper told CTV.
“Simply picking your nose and wiping it away, or blowing your nose, you might be robbing it of that opportunity.”

Re: Ready for snack time?
I've always found it somewhat disturbing when people did that. I have no problem with them doing it, but don't just do it right in front of me.
Those people will most likely - it seems - live longer than me, though. Oh well

I don't limit myself to "portions" or "serving sizes".
If it comes out all green, I eat it all.
I recall like it when it's nice and soft. A good mixture of boogers and snot is delicious.
