According to each fad diet that trends on Google MD, every food on the planet is bad for you. You should either be eating a diet with all meat or no meat. You should be trying to alkalize yourself or trying to cleanse yourself (or both at the same time?). You should cut out fruit because it has too much sugar, or you should be living on an all-fruit diet like the fruitarians. You should give yourself coffee enemas because they detoxify your liver, but drinking the coffee through your mouth-hole is bad.
So we can safely conclude that you should just live on gin and cigarettes. They're gluten-free!
According to lnternet advice-land, here are the seven foods that are perfectly healthy and, of course, you're a bad person and should feel bad for eating them. You're probably a bad mother even if you don't have kids. Because nothing is ever good enough according to the Internet.
Kale
Oh, kale yes! Kale is healthy as ... fucking kale. Kale is what unicorns eat to make them poop quinoa to fertilize … more kale. Obviously. It's a magical plant of health that everyone and their mother should be eating. And if you're only living on kale, your only mistake is that you're not eating more motherfucking kale.

After spending 20 years working on lawsuits involving food-poisoning claims, an attorney is releasing a list of the 6 foods he refuses to eat.
Bill Marler, who has been involved in lawsuits against Chipotle and other restaurants, has won over $600 million for clients who suffered illnesses after eating bad food.
Bill is everywhere. Bill has taken over Facebook. Bill is an annoying smart ass. Let’s kill Bill.
Unless Snowzilla knocked out your WiFi last weekend or you live under a rock, you probably know the Bill of which we speak. No, not your actual friend Bill. The fake stick-figure Bill. Yup, that one. The snarky jackass “Be Like Bill” Bill that wears a knitted beanie and stands next to dumb "poems" about your Facebook friends.
Over the past year, cell phone users have been sharing photos of some wonky pinky fingers. The pinkies are curved or at an angle from the rest of the fingers, and users claim that the shape of their hands has changed from over-using their smartphones. A headline from an article posted today on the Daily Mail screams, “People share shocking photos showing how their hands have been left deformed by the way they hold their gadget.” Others though, including some surgeons who specialize in hand surgery, aren't quite as convinced.
Unless you're a certified germaphobe, you probably don't spend too much time thinking about the relative filthiness of items you use every day. And while it's not necessary to become obsessive about germs, it is a good idea to think about some of the high-touch items you use on the regular that could make you sick if you don't clean them from time to time. These are some of those items.
Your toothbrush
Well sure, you put the thing in your mouth twice a day (you are using your toothbrush twice a day, right? OK, good.). But, unless you've been sick -- in which case it's a good idea to disinfect it -- that's not the main reason your toothbrush is so germy. The bigger problem is that people tend to use the toothbrush and then put it away wet, and the moisture makes for a welcoming home in which bacteria like Serratia marcescens will happily settle.
And then there's the whole thing about your toothbrush being covered in poop.
Japan is a land of many weird things, and as such, its fast food creations tend to be dependably curious. The newest menu item at Japanese McDonald’s, for instance, involves french fries covered with multiple types of chocolate. They’re called “McChocolate Potatoes.”
The unusual combination is only around for a limited time. Drizzled with white and milk chocolate, the treat is hits stores across Japan on January 26 and will be sold until mid-February. A poorly Google-translated page explains: “The salty of the potato, the taste of surprise sweetness of the chocolate source is applied, Please enjoy.” It costs about 50-cents to upgrade your boring choco-free fries to the amazing choco-potatoes. Please enjoy.
If you’re ever feeling lonely at home, you can now rest assured that you are far from alone. The average home is crawling with more than 100 species of invertebrates, such as spiders, lice and centipedes, according to research conducted by US scientists.

Arthropods are invertebrate animals with segmented bodies and jointed limbs, such as insects and spiders.
There is a wonderful story going viral about the actions of a customer service representative at the online fashion retailer Zulily. See the story here.
It’s a pretty simple one really. Basically, a Texas woman had ordered a coat that, once she’d tried it on, didn’t really work for her. She called their customer service line, and the agent immediately offered a refund. When the customer asked how to send the coat back, the response from the agent was: “Please don’t ship it back. If you know anybody who could use a winter coat this season or if you have a favorite charity that you would like to donate the coat to, please do that. That would make us very happy.”
On 15 January 2016, multiple web sites reported that a Tennessee-area woman had started a successful GoFundMe campaign to recoup losses for money she spent on non-winning Powerball lottery tickets.

Guillermo del Toro, the director of Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, and Crimson Peak, is developing a movie version of classic children's book trilogyScary Stories to Tell in the Dark. Deadline reports that del Toro will produce the movie for CBS Films, based on the books written by Alvin Schwartz, and may potentially direct it too.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark was first published in 1981, and famously illustrated its spooky tales with chilling images from artist Stephen Gammell, whose ethereal ink pictures impacted a generation and helped lead to the book becoming the most banned from placement by the American Library Association for being too terrifying. A reprinted version of the books, released in 2011, replaces Gammell's original art with less haunting alternatives, but for many the damage was already done.

Tell all your friends and relatives no. They will ask. Tell them no. If you are close to them, you already know who needs help and what they need. Feel free to help SOME, but talk to your accountant before you do anything and remember this, no one needs 1m dollars for anything. No one needs 100k for anything. Anyone who asks is not your friend.
