While scientists usually have better things to research, a 1995 study found that 91 percent of respondents admitted to occasionally picking their noses. Although the true number is probably closer to 100 (hey, we’ve all had a booger that can’t come out with a tissue alone!), the amount of people who go on to *eat* those boogers has gotta be in the single digits — a number that apparently includes the Budget Minister of France.

In a recent video, Minister Amélie de Montchalin can be seen appearing to put her finger in her nose, pull out a booger and then put it in her mouth. Eww!
