    Microwaving your food will kill you!! It changes the molecular structure of your food! It uses radiation!! (I thought cooking did that anyways??)

    To be fair, 100% of people who microwave their food do eventually die...

    The most fashionable diet that everyone in my country is: two days you eat 6 boiled potatoes a day. Next two days veggies like tomatoes and last two days it's one boiled chicken a day. The seventh day only water. Then you repeat until you're happy with your loss. This diet was made popular by a famous woman who lost quite a lot of weight but actually she goes to the gym every day and undergoes procedures like vacuum cavitation, hot massages, all kinds of anticellulite therapy, etc. So it's not a magic diet but everyone is crazy about it.
    I think it's crazy to eat only high fat -low carb.
    My mom thinks you will get fat if you put a pinch of paprika in your food.
