Keanu loves Indian food
Keanu Reeves just can’t get enough of the hot, spicy Indian food and he proved that recently when he treated his buddies to a lavish Indian dinner at a restaurant in London. The Speed and Matrix star Reeves took five of his close pals to a restaurant called Tamarind and binged on Indian delicacies there.
The menu included 17 starters including lamb, chicken, aloo tikka, salads and scallops, and the main course consisted of lobster karikudi, murgh makhni, malai tikka and saag paneer! The elaborate meal was washed down with a bottle of £95 Chassagne Montrachet and a £90 bottle of Tour Du Pin Figeac wine, as well as beer, vodka, whiskey and seven glasses of diet cola. They finally completed their meal with six generous servings of traditional Indian coconut ice-cream.
And for all this he merely shelled out a good £1,200 followed by a generous tip to the waiters. You definitely know the way to his heart now!

Fast food predominantly made up of corn
If the adage, ‘you are what you eat’ is to be believed then most Americans are an ear of corn, suggests research. A chemical analysis of popular fast foods reveals that some form of corn appears as a main ingredient in most items—especially beef.
Research also denotes that the molecular makeup of hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and french fries purchased from some popular fast food chains in six U.S. cities. Corn’s dominance in US fast food is well known, however the chemical analysis proves that corn’s pre-dominance in a big way. French fries for example are often cooked in corn oil, and cows and chickens eat either corn or feed fertilized with corn.
