You’ve heard the urban legend: in slumber we swallow, on average, 7 spiders a year. Now here’s a spider that you’d swallow intentionally.

Having once gone from 275lbs to 135lbs, I’ve become quite attentive to monitoring physical health and diet over the years. I can’t help but get excited at the thought of a digital interface doing all [...]
