Meet the Brit teen who can only eat Tic Tacs

London, Feb 10 : Natalie Cooper can savour all things except good, scrumptious food, for all she can eat is Tic Tacs.

The 17-year-old suffers from a mystery illness which means that she keeps puking after swallowing any solids.

The teen gets all her nourishment from a specially-formulated feed through a tube.

But the only real food her stomach will put up with are the little two-calorie mints.

"They do give me a bit of energy, but I eat them mostly to get rid of hunger. It is psychological," the Mirror quoted Natalie, as saying.

"When they started to come back up, I started reducing the size. I went from Trebor Extra Strong Mints to Polos and ended up with Tic Tacs," she added.

Her condition, which she has had all her life, has left medics puzzled.

At one point Natalie weighed only five stone, but is now back up to seven.

Experts first thought she had bulimia, but ruled that out.

"I like eating. It just comes back up," Natalie said.

Atheist Sees Image of Big Bang in Piece of Toast

(ACPA-london) Excitement is growing in the Northern England town of Huddlesfield following the news that a local man saw an image of the big-bang in a piece of toast. atheist donald chapman, 36, told local newspaper, "the huddlesfield express" that he was sitting down to eat breakfast when an unusual toast pattern caught his eye.

"i was just about to spread the butter when I noticed a fairly typical small hole in the bread surrounded by a burnt black ring. however the direction and splatter patterns of the crumbs as well as the changing shades emanating outwards from this black hole were very clearly similar to the chaotic-dynamic non-linear patterns that one would expect following the big bang". "it's the beginning of the world" he added excitedly.

Ever since news of the discovery made national headlines, local hoteliers have been overwhelmed by an influx of atheists from all over the country who have flocked to Huddlesfield to catch a glimpse of the scientific relic. "i have always been an Atheist and to see my life choices validated on a piece of toast is truly astounding" said one guest at the Huddlesfield arms hotel.

To the surprise of many, the UK national atheist association has asked its members not to pay attention to the story despite its potential to inspire less faith. "Given what the religious believe already, this is an easy sell" said one disgruntled activist who said he was going to huddlesfield anyway noting that "seeing is not believing".
