Nuclear wastelands, salad dressing. Let's get down to the real issues: eating boogers.
Picking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor.

Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies.

He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up.

Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner.

"And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system.
You pay your money, you take your chances. Kids are resilient for a reason, and while I don't claim to know why that is, maybe the booger munchin' theory has some credibility.
