Spaghetti and Locusts

As if locusts weren't tasty enough already, the Café & Bar Ristorante Absente in Tokyo now serves them on spaghetti. Rocket News 24 reports:

In their press release, restaurant owner Pasta Dio would like to remind everyone that locusts are an excellent source of calcium, protein, and vitamin A and were used in Japan during times of war to fight malnutrition and save lives. They even claim that once you get past the initial heebie-jeebies, locusts actually have an addictive texture that makes you come back for more.

Honestly thought I had heard of every single idea on how to loose weight, until I got to this article. It could be because of the elevation, cold weather that decreases hunger for some people and they end up loosing weight. Only time Im up 7000 feet in elevation is at Big Bear, Ca. when I go skiing and even then its a work out. Good to know.

This does seem a little bit crazy - I live on the third floor of an apartment and am not super fit. Just kidding:) I would like to lose some weight though - maybe my next vacation will be to a mountain or high altitude destination!
