Don't have time to cook your own meals? Try buying a rice cooker or crock pot with an automatic timer. Just fill it before you leave for work or the night before, and you'll have finished rice, steamed meats and vegetables ready when you get home.

If you are at risk for colon cancer, you can lower your risk of getting this disease by avoiding certain foods!

Scientists evaluated 486 people with Lynch syndrome, which is a genetic disorder that predisposes people to cancer. It leaves 70% of them with the colon variety. In the evaluations, they were asked about their diets and classified into one of four groups according to what they ate: high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains; high in meat and coffee; high in a Mediterranean-type diet that included fish, leafy greens, pasta, sauces and wine; and high in fried snacks, fast food and diet soda.

Can you guess with group had the longest risk?

Drew Barrymore is looking great post-pregnancy, but you wouldn't know it from what she ate!

The Ever After star says at first she didn't have a great time with food:

"I was nauseated all the time at first but hardly ever threw up. I lived on Saltines and club soda. Lived.

But it got a lot better and then I would sit with my little legs crossed and just eat. I wasn't like, 'OK you need to eat your carrots…'. I just had a total enjoyment of food."

So what kind of non-carrot foods did Drew enjoy?

Nothing says the holidays quite like a pickle flavored candy cane, right guys??

Barf!

Not a single human wants these, so we don't even know they exist. Maybe to display them on a shelf and have a laugh about them once in a while. Maybe just as a big middle finger gift to someone you don't really like. Your guess is as good as ours! LOLz!

Here's what the makers say about them, and it's jaw-droppingly weird:

Eat more vegetables with soup!

Vegetable soup is a great way to get more vegetables into your diet without the hassle. When the weather gets colder, its harder to eat a salad than something hot and steamy. I also like to have a pot of vegetable soup in the fridge as a low-calorie and nutritious snack. In a large pot of water, add a variety of your favorite vegetables: I often use cabbage, carrots, peppers, garlic, fennel, squash, fresh herbs - whatever looks good and is on sale. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, and reduce to low until vegetables are soft. Now this is where you can get creative! Garnish with ingredients like salsa, avocado and crushed tortilla chips or parmesan cheese and croutons.

Liar liar, pants on fire! LOLz!

So there's a guy in China, he's 22, and he says he's gone the last 12 years without eating food. At all. Like, nothing.

Ning Xuefa does say he drinks up to 15 litres of water every day, but gave up eating at age 10. He's apparently been diagnosed with
