Nice food
Police in Japan have arrested two men for contaminating a communal bowl of pickled ginger at a fast food restaurant, after a video of the prank was shared widely on social media.
The arrests come as similar acts involving food, dubbed online as “#sushitero” or “#sushiterrorism”, appear to be becoming more commonplace. Previously, the pranks had mostly affected the country’s famous sushi conveyor belt restaurants, prompting questions about their future.
Ryu Shimazu, 35, and Toshihide Oka, 34, were accused of obstruction of business and property damage, Osaka police told CNN, after the duo used their own chopsticks to eat red ginger directly from a communal bowl at Yoshinoya, a popular beef bowl chain in the city, back in September.
A video shared on social media shows a man, believed to be Shimazu, vigorously eating the ginger. According to the police, Shimazu said he did it because “he wanted to make everyone laugh,” while Oka said he shared the video “because it was funny.”

Happy foods
If you break out into rashes or experience stomach discomfort and you're not sure which food is causing it, you may have considered a food elimination diet. A food elimination diet is a way to find out which foods could be causing asensitivity, intolerance or possible allergies. Even though there are many popular elimination diets out there, it's important to receive proper guidance from a professional like a registered dietitian and a gastroenterologist. They will be able to help you to safely get to the bottom of your food allergy or intolerance.
We spoke with Kate Evans, a registered dietitian at Kelly Jones Nutrition who specializes in gastrointestinal nutrition and sports nutrition, to discuss the proper way to do an elimination diet and who can benefit from it.
"Elimination diets are not meant to be followed forever -- instead, think of them as a controlled experiment to explore how your body responds to different foods," Evans said

"He adopted me a little over a year ago," Alexandra told Newsweek. "I was at a beach house for a weekend with some friends and he jumped on my lap while we were having a bonfire on the beach. He followed me around all weekend and when I was leaving, he followed me to my car. I asked, would you like to come with? And the little kitten jumped on the passenger seat."
In his new home, Nico the cat quickly adopted the hilarious habit shared on Reddit—sitting on the couch with his arm up although he is learning on the arm.
