Chocs, Cults and Cats

1 July 2001
Tried searching for health on the web? You never know what you might find. If you're fazed by the weirdness of it all, The Culture Slut will be your guide…

Well, dumplings, in the end it always comes down to food, doesn't' t it?

While some of us may balk at the idea of black fungus broth, or wheat grass shots, there're three gutsy chicks who are out there telling us how to eat well and thin down. At www.3fatchicks.com you find the experiences of three actually barking women who have, um, lost weight. But it's quite entertaining and we all love fat women anyway…

…if you're looking to change your diet you might also enjoy the adorable www.healthyfridge.org. Hang on a minute - a dot.org??? I love the idea of this being a serious organisation. Personally, I can have the most healthy fridge in London. I'll just keep my chocolate in the cupboard.

If like me you have a habit of losing things, and you're stuck with the munchies and can't find your favourite Dark Lindt bar, simply click on www.psychicreadingsbymedium.com. This catchily titled site will use its psychic abilities to locate your lost items, like said choccy bar, and heal you spiritually while they're at it. Such efficiency! You'll also find a similar service at www.yellowcloud.net, but from someone with big hair standing by a tree. Never accuse us here at Dimsum of neglecting your spiritual health.

The best doctor is of course the glorious Doctor Who, erstwhile BBC export, soon to be Spielberg star. If you're feeling like a bit of nostalgia might do you good, go to www.bbc.co.uk/cult/doctorwho.

Finally, those icons of self-sufficiency and gleaming health…cats. Our feng shui exploits will always lead us back to cats eventually. They know more than you think. At www.catsincharge.co.uk you will discover all you need to know about feng shui and our feline friends. They are actually feng shuiing us, you know. And while we're on the subject, at www.bitboost.com/pawsense you can download a piece of software which stops your cat standing on your keyboard. Yes, really.

Last word goes to the Japanese, who have come up with perhaps the worst feng shui idea in history. Ever fancied storing your cat in a small bottle? www.bonsaikitten.com Happy pickling…
