Pick it, Eat It. To your health!

iwz by iwz · Mar 26, 2004 · News · 297 views

As if we didn't already all know this, picking your nose and eating it is good for you!

According a top Austrian doctor, we should actually encourage children to eat their boogers. Little did we know, but, "eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body's immune system ... it works just like a medicine!"

Read more about the doctor's recommendations here: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_903083.html?menu=

Of course, you must be wondering how many people actually are doing this healthy, happy, joyfull, and yes, tasty activity. According to one survey, 8% of the respondents eat their salty nose nuggets.

So, get with it - Pick it!

Okay..picking them out of your nose is one thing (and should be done in the privacy of somewhere) but do not eat it!

true story: when i was in 3rd grade...i went to school with this tubby chinese girl who used to pick her nose and store her boogers on her stomach to eat later. we found out she did this when she was hanging upsidedown on the jungle gym and her shirt fell and exposed her (what we now know to be) healthy habit!

I pick my nose in the car, until someone drives up next to me.. and i look over to my right with my finger in my nose and i saw " oh, thats where i left my keys " and i magically pull it out of my nose . and the person in the other car always claps.
then they say " we want bunny bunny " . but i never put bunnies up my nose. i mean.. not on mondays

specialk specialkOG 2003

I don't know about boogers, but I had a friend who used to eat dry cat food and dog biscuits. That lasted a few weeks, and then she got really sick. her parents stopped letting her do that, from then on.

i heard this on z100 stupid news the other day. and then today they were talking about eating ketchup everyday would help prevent.....cancer i think. and kidney stones. something like that. what do ya know? stupid news ain't so stupid after all.

specialk specialkOG 2003

Yeah...ketchup has tomoatoes in it, which have Lycopene in them, which helps prevent cancer. Cool stuff.
