Blonde Haired Hottie, Amy Lance: I eat 10,000 Brussels Sprouts A Year
IT’S the festive food we love to hate — but Amy Lance happily scoffs 10,000 Brussels sprouts a year.
And as a supermarket sprout scout she eats as many as 500 A WEEK in the run-up to Christmas.
Amy, 26, hated the veg as a child, but has grown to love it so much that she even asks for an extra helping on December 25.
Her job for Waitrose is to decide which of around 25 varieties of sprout work best for the store — and also to develop completely new varieties.

New Study Claims Drinking Beer is Good for … Children
Drinking beer is good for you and your children, a study by Japan’s oldest brewery says.
Hops, one of the three basic ingredients of beer along with water and barley, contains a chemical compound called humulone, which can help the human body fight the virus that causes the common cold in adults, according to a report by the news agency Agence-France Presse. The same virus also can cause bronchitis and pneumonia in children. With vaccination for these illnesses has yet to be found, the study by Japanese beverage giant Sapporo says that beer could prove a unique way of curbing infection.
Red Bull? That’s Played Out, If You Want To Get Real High, Try The $100 a Gram, ‘White Bull’
Adult stores are selling a synthetic cocaine called White Bull for $100 a gram. This is twice the price of old-fashioned amphetamines that bikies used to cook – and we were told it’s stronger than the real and illegal stuff.
White Bull is part of a $200-million-a-year catalogue of legal highs that adult stores are marketing as an offset for the drop in DVD sales because of the prevalence of online porn.
The man behind the counter at Love Play had only two little bags of White Bull left for sale. He said the store sells out every weekend. ”Less is more with this stuff,” he said.
White Bull is an apparently legal substitute for cocaine, which retails illegally for $350 a gram. ”The feeling is that of cocaine, speed, ecstasy,” he said. Meaning it keeps you awake, a bit horny and somehow sets a disco beat rocking in your head. It also makes your heart beat faster, and put on a hot glow that suggests one’s thermo-regulation system is out of whack.
