Mr Meiwes told investigators he took Mr Brandes back to his home, where Mr Brandes agreed to have part of his genitals cut off, which Mr Meiwes then flambeed and served up to eat together.

Mr Meiwes says he then killed Mr Brandes with his consent – recording the two-hour event on video.

Prosecutors are seeking a conviction of murder for “sexual satisfaction”, as cannibalism is not technically illegal under German law!?!

Azad Singh and his sister Laxmi Yadav have not grown since they were five or six, and still look like little children. Neither of them, who live in Haryana, India, have been through puberty due to a rare hormone disorder.

Azad is just 3ft tall but is studying for A-Levels in English and Maths with the help of a tutor, and Laxmi, who is 3ft 3ins, is at high school taking the equivalent of her GCSEs.

They face being trapped in children’s bodies for their rest of their lives as treatment in the form of hormone injections would normally be given before the age of 16 or 17.

A simple, one-year, course of hormones costing just £18 per day could have allowed them to grow in height and develop sexually.

But the teens’ parents have always been too poor to fund the injections.

They now live in the constant care of mum Manju Bala, dad Bahadur Singh, a casual labourer, and sister Suman Yadav, 12, who is normal height.

Azad, who wants to train as an engineer, said: “I’m taking my exams in April. I’m doing a lot of revision and hard work.

“When I go out, such as to walk to my tutor’s house, my mum has to come with me.

“People think I’m still a kid and need looking after.”

He added: “If Laxmi or I go out alone, people stare and gather round us. Some unkind people even shout names at us in the street. So we normally have our parents or sister Suman with us.

“I cannot hang out with boys my age, because they say I cannot keep up with them. But I have two friends at school who spend time with me, and don’t mind that I’m small.”

Laxmi added: “When we were younger our parents had to change our school because the other kids laughed at us because of our size.”

Devoted mum Manju said: “I’m very protective of my children. If I do not accompany Azad when he goes out, people throw things at him on his bike, and might harm him.”

She explained: “When Azad and Laxmi were very young, they were the same size as other children. We didn’t realise anything was wrong until Azad was about five and we noticed he stopped growing.

“When Laxmi also reached five, she’d stopped growing too. We took them to the doctor but he had no idea what was wrong with them.

“Over the years we’ve been referred to many hospitals, but they all wanted payment for any treatment.

“We went to hospitals in Kalavati, Gangaram, but everywhere they were asking for huge money for the treatment. We were not able to afford it, so we had to leave.”

She added: “Once we looked into selling our house to get 15,000 rupees (2,910 pounds) for treatment. But the doctors at Gangaram Hospital could not guarantee us that the injections would work by this stage as Azad and Laxmi were older, so we decided no to go ahead.”

Finally, last year, the family were offered a lifeline by the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Dehli, who looked into providing free treatment for the brother and sister.

But when the Azad and Laxmi arrived at the hospital, crowds of patients, visitors, and even people from the street went into to the ward to stare at them.

“We could not face all those people,” said Laxmi. “It was too frightening for Azad and me. We felt we would rather stay as we were than go through that.

“We decided we did not want the treatment, as doctors said there was only about a 40 to 50 per cent chance it would work.”

I was reading on the Reader’s Digest website about shoes today. I haven’t thought about shoes in this way, it struck me so hard. You can read the whole article if you’re interested, but I’m only going to focus on the 3rd part, titled “Shoes As a Better Business Model”.

The idea for Toms Shoes hit Blake Mycoskie on a trip to Argentina in 2006: Sell a pair, give a pair to a needy child. “I met so many kids there who didn’t have shoes and had nasty scrapes on their feet,” he recalls. Mycoskie launched a line of simple, colorful canvas slip-ons modeled on the traditional alpargata worn by local farmers. Within a year, the concept had taken off (especially after celebrities like -Renée Zellweger started wearing Toms)–and Mycoskie organized his first “shoe drop,” a tour of rural Argentina on which he handed out 10,000 pairs. Since then, he’s given away another 100,000 on four continents. “The joy the kids express is hard to describe,” he says. “They laugh and cry-and run around playing soccer.”

This is such an amazing story, and showed me again what change a single person could make.  I wish I could find the ideas and ways and means to make something like this happen, and then I realize that it is within my reach, I just have to grasp it.

Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables?
A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these?
Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than an efficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your
system. Need grain? Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafy vegetable).
And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended daily allowance of vegetable products.

Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake?
A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. Brandy is distilled wine, that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even more of the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!

Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio?
A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. If you have two bodies your ratio is two to one, etc.

Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise program?
A: Can’t think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain…Good!

Q: Aren’t fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!! …. Foods are fried these days in vegetable oil. In fact, they’re permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables be bad for you?

Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You should only be doing sit-ups
if you want a bigger stomach.

Q: Is chocolate bad for me?
A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It’s the best feel-good food around!

Q: Is swimming good for your figure?
A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me.

Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle?
A: Hey! ‘Round’ is a shape!

Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had about food and diets.

And remember:

‘Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and
well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways – Chardonnay in one hand – chocolate in the other – body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘WOO HOO, What a Ride’

AND……

For those of you who watch what you eat , here’s the final word on nutrition and health. It’s a relief to
know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.
5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks
than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you…
