Strange Streep Sightings
Meryl Streep, love or hate her, she’s a huge personality in her own right. But one fan has combined his (or her) love of Meryl Streep and food and has created an Instagram account called @tasteofstreep
What this guy does is that he (or she) photoshops Meryl Streep into all kinds of food. And well, to be honest, I’m at a loss for words! You have to see it for yourself.
Don’t worry about clicking the link, it IS SAFE for work, unless of course, you have an officemate that doesn’t like Meryl Streep and/or food.

Robotic workers don’t take time off, don’t complain, and… well, they don’t care about crime scenes.
This week, a food delivery robot sparked excitement when it crashed a crime scene in Los Angeles. According to a video posted on Twitter, a self-driving culinary device named Connie surprised cops by ignoring the yellow caution tape surrounding a crime scene and proceeding

Music Can Actually Help With Stress-Eating
Research has shown that instead of stress-eating whenever you feel depressed or stressed, music may actually help you with the muchies!
After a long day at work, many people just want to sit down and eat away the stress.
Experts say one way to keep from overeating is by listening to music. This was done by an unnamed research, but hey, it's the internet!
As part of the study's research, scientists had women listen to various types of music and then measured how many snacks they ate afterwards. They did this in order to observe how food can help people combat negative emotions that are brought on by sadness.
Women who listened to music which made them feel angry or sad ate half the amount of crisps, chocolate and sweets, compared to volunteers not given any headphones.
Weeeeell... I guess that works for me as well, considering the other participants weren't given anything to do and there was food in front of them.

Here Are The Three WORST Foods Shortening Your Life
I don’t know where people get the budget to make studies like these, but another study shows us the worst foods to eat for shortening your life.
Beef, Chicken, and Dairy could shorten your life, according to a study by Penn State University College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania, via Merck Manual.
Researchers examined data from almost 120,700 persons from two long-term studies and discovered that those who were receiving double the recommended amount of sulfur amino acids had a 12% higher annual risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a 28% increased chance of dying from it throughout a 32-year study period.
They also discovered that the bulk of the sulfur amino acids were coming from beef, chicken, and dairy products.
While beef, chicken, and dairy all include sulfur amino acids, the research found that eating a large quantity of these elements might raise the risk of cardiovascular disease and even result in death.
Now, this has got me thinking… If eating steak, ice cream, and fried chicken are the WORST Foods to shorten your life… I wonder what the BEST ones are!
Talk about wording right?
