'Foodscaper': The landscapes that look good enough to EAT|奇妙的食物造景 任何你看到的都可以吃


At a glance they look like images created by Hollywood CGI wizards – but they’re actually landscapes created entirely from food.

The incredible creations are the work of ‘foodscape’ artist Carl Warner, who makes them using sweets, fruits and vegetables – plus some pins and superglue.

猛一看,你可能還以為是出自哪個好萊塢電腦繪圖大師的作品,但它們真的全都是用「食物」建構出來的景象!

英國藝術家 Carl Warner,擅長用糖果、巧克力、蔬果等食物,做成色彩繽紛、奇幻逗趣的風景畫。Carl Warner 以別針和強力膠,搭造如同建築模型的立體食物造景,再用相機拍下。

Best diet news ever? Eating plenty of chocolate can keep you SLIM|最新研究指出「吃巧克力減肥更有效」!
























It seems like news that really is too good to be true. Rather than being a major factor in piling on the pounds, eating large amounts of chocolate is one of the best ways to lose weight, a study has found.

Spanish researchers examined the diets and healthy activities of 1,500 teenagers aged between 12 and 17 in nine European countries, including Spain and the UK. They found that people who admitted eating large amounts of chocolate had, on average, far lower levels of fat over their bodies. In particular, they were trimmer around the stomach area - regardless of whether they had an active lifestyle or were on a diet.

Chocolate was also found to have a positive effect on circulation, blood pressure and heart health. The study, from the University of Granada, backs up earlier findings from the University of California that suggested regular chocolate eaters have less body fat. This may be because while chocolate contains more calories than many other foods, it appears to make the metabolism work harder, offsetting the fat that otherwise might hang around.

There's also the issue of denial. A recent poll found that 86 per cent of slimmers who carried on enjoying their favourite treats successfully lost weight.

如果這項消息是真實的話,那麼對嗜甜如螞蟻的我們真的是一大福音啊~ 西班牙研究人員調查歐洲9個國家共1500名12-17歲的青少年,其飲食與健康活動。他們發現承認吃大量巧克力的人,其體脂肪遠低於平均值,尤其是胃部周圍的區域。
