A 120 million-year-old dinosaur fossil with the bones of its final snack still inside of it reveals it enjoyed eating our ancestors
-
Paleontologist Hans Larsson found a small mammal foot in the rib of a dinosaur fossil.
-
The reptile was carnivorous and bird-like, according to McGill University.
-
It’s one of only 21 dinosaur fossils ever found with its food inside of it.
The key to a small, four-winged dinosaur species’ survival was not being fussy about what it ate, the examination of a rare fossil revealed.
Paleontologist Hans Larsson, a professor at McGill University, was the first to notice a small mammal foot lodged in between the bones of a fossilized Microraptor, a carnivorous dino with birdish wings. The discovery shows the dino ate a long list of animals, including mammals, fish, birds, and lizards, the university announced in a December 21 press release.
“These finds are the only solid evidence we have about the food consumption of these long-extinct animals – and they are exceptionally rare,” Larsson said in the release. The revelation that the animal was an “opportunistic” eater “puts a new perspective on how ancient ecosystems may have worked,” he added.
Only 20 other fossils have been found with the fossilized bones of their meals inside, according to McGill, and this is the first time a fossil has shown that any dinosaur ate mammals, the Economic Times reported.
Microraptor fossils were first discovered in the early 2000s in Liaoning, China, located in the northeast part of the country along the Yellow Sea. Scientists have speculated that the species likely died out because it had four wings, and the two additional wings created drag when it moved.
Its ability to make a snack out of all kinds of animals may not have been enough for make up for two too many wings.

Health Experts Agree: This Is The One Type Of Snack You Should Stop Eating (It Causes Inflammation!)
This post has been updated since it was originally published to include more expert insight.
In order to promote and support a healthy metabolism, it’s vital to evaluate what you eat in a day and acknowledge where you can add more nutrients and ultimately, create a balanced diet. With that said, it’s equally as important to take note of what snacks make you feel sluggish, have less energy or cause inflammation and indigestion.
We checked in with health experts to learn more about one common type of carb found in many processed snacks and beverages that is best to avoid for a healthy metabolism and optimal energy. Read on for tips and suggestions from Dana Ellis Hunnes, PhD, MPH, RD, registered dietitian and Melissa Morris, ACSM-certified exercise physiologist and ISSN-certified sports nutritionist.

The Ultimate Worst Carbohydrate: Added Sugars In Processed Foods
The least healthy type of carbohydrate to eat for a snack is an ultra-processed one that is frequently found in packaged foods such as pastries (think Pop-Tarts, energy bars or bakery goods), Hunnes explains. The reason these types of carbs are not great at any age, let alone over 40, she notes, is because they provide “no nutritional benefit, they are often devoid of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds.” This, she says, is terrible for the metabolism because it “leads to insulin spikes, increases in IGF-1, an inflammatory marker, and increases risk for chronic diseases and deposition (fat storage) of calories in the body.”

Morris agrees, and said she believes that the “worst type of carbohydrates to eat at any age are added sugars,” which are found in sugary drinks, junk food, processed foods, and desserts. “Added sugars just add extra calories without many healthy nutrients,” she says, and points out that too much added sugar in the diet can also increase inflammation in the body; “This impacts the immune system and can increase the risk for many chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes.”

Instead of these types of carbs, Hunnes stresses that “we are best off to eat the least processed carbohydrates possible, such as whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, fruits, and vegetables, in their natural form unprocessed.” These, she says, are “not harmful for our metabolism and are anti-inflammatory, high in fiber, and help regulate weight.”

Morris agrees, and says that it’s also important to understand the different types of carbs when creating a healthy diet after 40 to reap the most benefits. “There are different types of carbohydrates in the foods we eat so we have to understand that concept first,” she says. “There are simple carbohydrates or simple sugars and there are complex carbohydrates,” she continues.

A few examples of simple carbohydrates that Morris lists are sucrose (table sugar), fructose (fruit sugar), and lactose (milk sugar). Complex carbohydrates are found in foods with starches and fiber, she explains, and fruits, vegetables, and grains have complex carbohydrates. “Complex carbohydrates take longer to be digested, so they help keep us full longer. They also usually have more vitamins and minerals than foods with simple carbohydrates,” she concludes. The more you know!

Megan Thee Stallion’s Favorite Snack Will Make Your Stomach Turn & Houston Locals Love It
Houston native and Grammy award-winning rapper Megan Thee Stallion told Jimmy Fallon her favorite childhood snack on his nightly show, and it might make your stomach turn. The locally loved food combination is hot Cheetos and pickles.
She appeared as a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on August 11 to discuss her new album Traumazine, but the host was quickly carried away by the cuisine she confessed she can’t get enough of during the interview.
“We eat hot Cheetos, but inside of pickles,” She explained and gave Fallon a sample, which he actually enjoyed.
The seemingly random combination is pretty popular in the Bayou City. The recording artist even mentioned the snack was something she’s only seen there.
As a matter of fact, small business owners in the Texas town have taken the iconic culinary duo to a whole new level and turned them into the moist whimsical creations that Houstonians go crazy for.
They use ingredients like chamoy, which is a saucy condiment, or different types of candies, to enhance the flavor.
It’s so celebrated in the area, that this year’s famous Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo had a basket of crinkle-cut pickle chips topped with a spread of nacho cheese and sprinkled with hot Cheetos as a meal patrons could order.
Something you can also find around town is some of the most unique desserts involving the salty vegetable and crunchy corn puff.
There are cheeto-infused deserts like mixtures of fruits and pickles, or a hot Cheeto encrusted pickle partnered with chamoy-infused peach candy rings.
Some places go as far as to create wacky creations like pickle-flavored sno cones along with hot Cheetos packed inside of them.
You can find these creations just about anywhere in the Southern Texan city, and even beyond, from Latinx-owned home cooks, or at places like sno cone stands and antojito spots.

The Choco Taco, Ice Cream Snack of American Summers, Is Discontinued
The Choco Taco, a nut-and-chocolate-topped ice cream snack that for decades has been a top choice at the ice cream truck or convenience store freezer, is being discontinued, its creator confirmed this week after weeks of rumors about its impending demise.
Klondike, which is owned by Unilever and makes the Choco Taco along with several other ice cream products, confirmed the discontinuation on Monday on its website and in response to several disappointed questions from fans on Twitter, some of them laced with profanity.
“Unfortunately, the Klondike Choco Taco has been discontinued,” one such response read. “We’ve experienced an unprecedented spike in demand across our portfolio and have had to make very tough decisions to ensure availability of our full portfolio nationwide. We’re very sorry for any disappointment!”
To many of the Choco Taco’s fans, who mourned its loss en masse on social media on Monday, it tasted like summer or childhood or a beloved memory, even if they hadn’t had one in years. And it was in its own way inventive when it was created by Alan Drazen in Philadelphia in 1983, according to a 2016 history of the snack in Eater that referred to it as the “most beloved and innovative of all the American ice cream ‘novelties.’”
“When you eat a sugar cone, you generally eat the nuts, chocolate, and ice cream on the top, and then when you get to the cone, you’re [only] eating ice cream and cone,” Mr. Drazen told Eater. “With the Choco Taco you’re getting the ice cream, cone, nuts and chocolate with just about every bite.”
The company’s confirmation ended what had been confusing times for lovers of the summertime treat. Rumors had swirled throughout the year that the Choco Taco was no more as people reported being unable to find them on their local shelves. But on several occasions from December up through last week, Klondike reassured fans on Twitter that while it had pulled four-packs of the Choco Taco last fall, single servings would still be available in all the usual places.
But on Monday night, the confirmation of its demise was reported by the Takeout, a food-focused publication.
Snopes, the website that aims to debunk baseless myths and rumors, published an article on Monday calling the Choco Taco’s discontinuation “false,” before having to reverse course just hours later after Unilever confirmed it was true.
“When we originally addressed the rumor, we labeled it ‘False,’ in part, because we didn’t want to believe that it was true,” Snopes wrote.
Alexis Ohanian, a co-founder of Reddit, was among those hoping it could find a way to return.
In one of its responses to disappointed Twitter users on Monday, Klondike did offer some small hope to the writers at Snopes, Mr. Ohanian and other fans.
“We’re working hard to find a way to bring Choco Taco back to ice cream trucks in the coming years,” it said.
Vegan food delivery firm tells customers to dump lentil snack that could cause LIVER DAMAGE
A vegan food delivery company that is backed by Serena Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow has recalled a new lentil product after it sickened customers with possible liver damage.
According to a statement from Daily Harvest, the company has received reports of French Lentil + Leek Crumbles causing gastrointestinal issues – a euphemism many unfortunate customers say masks the sheer agony induced by eating the unassuming snack.
The company said that they took ‘immediate steps’ to address the concerns of their customers and reached out to everyone who bought French Lentil + Crumbles. Daily Harvest told those customers to immediately dispose of the product.
But several say they’ve been hospitalized with liver issues and gallbladder damage as a result of consuming the fashionably-packaged snack.
The statement continues: ‘If you have any French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, please dispose of them and do not eat them.’
An email that was sent to at least one customer offered a $10 credit for every bag of the product they purchased, reports NBC News. The email advised the customer to get rid of their French Lentil + Leek Crumbles out of an ‘abundance of caution.’
Lentils should not be eaten raw.
Lentils, like all legumes, contain a protein named lectin that attaches to your digestive tract when not cooked properly.
This commonly causes stomach complaints such as diarrhea and vomiting.
Lectin breaks down and is digestible when lentils are cooked to an internal temperature of 165F.
Daily Harvest said in a statement: ‘If you have any French Lentil + Leek Crumbles, please dispose of them and do not eat them’
Daily Harvest’s founder Rachel Drori has a net worth of $350 million
Among Daily Harvest’s celebrity investors is healthy living guru and Goop founder, Gwyneth Paltrow
Luke Tashie from Boston, pictured, suffered horrific liver pain and gall bladder damage as a result of his encounter with a packet of Daily Harvest lentil crumbles
On June 18, TikTok influencer Abby Silverman posted a video describing how she received a promotional freebie package from Daily Harvest in May.
After eating the lentils, Silverman said that she started having ‘extreme stomach and gastro pain and went to the hospital, the ER, in the middle of the night.’
Silverman, who boasts over 100,000 followers on TikTok, said that doctors could diagnose her problems. She had elevated liver enzyme level and bacteria in her urine, with staff believing that she may have a UTI.
When Silverman was released, she took antibiotics to five days. After the fifth, the pain returned and she went back to the ER.
She says that staff ran every possible test but still could not diagnose the problem.
Silverman says that she has an appointment to see a liver specialist this week as her enzyme levels are still elevated.
At the time of the video, Silverman said that she received an email from Daily Harvest warning of possible health risks with their product.
She then Googled the French Lentil + Leek Crumbles to discover that dozens of other people were suffering with the exact same symptoms.
At one point in the video, Silverman accuses Daily Harvest of deleting comments from social media in order to keep the scandal quiet.
Silverman speculates that because she got a promotional package from the company, she eat the lentils before they were available to the public which is why she got sick first.
She continues: ‘I have never had a health issue before until literally I ate this, that’s the only think that’s different about my routine.’
Silverman warns her followers to throw away the product if they have it and to contact Daily Harvest.
She concludes saying: ‘I’m not the type of person to put any brand on blast but this is really really serious. People are having serious health issues.’
Boston man Luke Tashie, pictured her with his wife, Laura, said that he suffered ‘extreme liver pain’ after eating the lentils
Another customer, Luke Tashie, told NBC that he suffered ‘extreme liver pain’ after eating the lentils.
Tashie, from Boston, went on to say that he didn’t believe that Daily Harvest was taking the problem seriously. He was hospitalized due to his extreme pain.
Tashie said in a Reddit post: ‘The surgeons that consulted with me were so perplexed that they seriously considered removing my gallbladder.’
His wife, Laura Tashie, wrote in a Facebook post that her husband had been ‘in and out of the hospital’ and the FDA was coming to their home to investigate the product.
Laura Tashie said that they first heard from Daily Harvest on June 17 when her husband was already being treated in the hospital. An email said that the lentils could cause gastrointestinal ‘discomfort.’
She added: ‘Luke has to have a liver biopsy and may have long term damage that could be from this product.’
The post concluded: ‘Be careful of Daily Harvest for the time being!’
People began posting about the lentils on Reddit on June 15.
Earlier in June 2022, Forbes Magazine ran a feature on Daily Harvest’s founder, Rachel Drori.
Drori, 39, founded the company in 2015 in Queens, New York.
The magazine said that Drori’s net worth is $350 million with her company reporting revenues of $250 million in 2020.
Investor and NBA superstar Blake Griffin said in May: ‘Discovering Daily Harvest was a game changer for me’
Tennis superstar Serena Williams is another icon who has invested in Daily Harvest
NBA star Carmelo Anthony is counted among the company investors
Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is also backing Daily Harvest
The company is valued at around $1.1 billion. Among the celebrity investors to the company are tennis icon Serena Williams, NBA superstars Carmelo Anthony and Blake Griffin, Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow and celebrity chef Bobby Flay.
In May 2022, Griffin and Anthony teamed up with Daily Harvest to launch a program named Eat the Solution to encourage people to eat organic fruit and vegetables every day.
Griffin said at the time: ‘Throughout my career, I’ve continued to evolve how best to take care of my body and discovering Daily Harvest was a game changer for me.’
He continued: ‘With this investment, I look forward to working closely with Rachel and the Daily Harvest team to help educate the next generation on the impact — on our bodies and the planet — of eating more organic fruits and vegetables every day.’
Drori told Forbes: ‘I created Daily Harvest to reimagine how food can nourish both humanity and the planet. We make it easy to eat more sustainably sourced fruits and vegetables and the bigger we grow, the more good we can do. We are laying the foundation for a better future.’
Drori went on to say that Daily Harvest sources their food from around 400 farmers across the country. Their crops are frozen with 24 hours of being picked.
The intro to Daily Harvest’s website greets users by saying: ‘Never not in season. Chef-crafted food built on sustainably sourced fruits and veggies delivered straight to you.’
French Lentil + Leek is described on the site as tasting like a ‘herby lentil burger.’ Three servings of the product cost $9.79. Underneath the pricing it reads: ‘This item is temporarily discontinued.’
Customer reviews of the product are mixed, the most recent compliments it as ‘actually pretty good and easy to make.’ While another says ‘not great. Not the best texture.’
The company’s crumbles come in one other flavor, Walnut + Thyme.
Daily Harvest says that both internal and external investigations have been launched into the source of the problem.
High cholesterol diet: The £1 snack to lower your risk of high cholesterol symptoms
Could eating this cheap snack help?
To lower your cholesterol levels, you are encouraged to eat a diet high in healthy fats, while avoiding too much saturated fat.
The NHS says: “To reduce your cholesterol, try to cut down on fatty food, especially food that contains a type of fat called saturated fat.
“You can still have foods that contain a healthier type of fat called unsaturated fat.”
Healthy fats are found in nuts and avocados, olive oil and oily fish.
Plant sterols, found in vegetable oils, have been shown to block cholesterol absorption, helping to bring your cholesterol reading down.
One of the best foods to snack on to lower cholesterol is Brazil nuts.
