Our Mounjaro diaries: 6 months on, has it changed our lives?
I have never eaten as many dates as I have since I jabbed my first 'starter dose' of Mounjaro last November, writes Harriet Walker. With a blob of peanut butter inside and pumpkin seeds on top, they are basically a Mars bar. I'm actually not sure I could eat a whole Mars any more — not something I struggled with previously. When I had pappy white bread for the first time in ages recently, it tasted as sweet as a Chelsea bun — and not in a good way. I also didn't realise, when I started on 'the pen', that I would never order a pint again. Weight-loss injections didn't stop me drinking (although, nearly), but they did help me realise that half a

Man Says His Roommate 'Stole' His Cake, Then Demanded He Pay His Hospital Bill After Having an Allergic Reaction
A 24-year-old man says his roommate had an allergic reaction after eating cake that didn't belong to him from a fridge in their apartment The man, who shared his experience on Reddit, says the roommate is now insisting that the Redditor cover his medical expenses The Redditor says he is refusing to pay for the roommate's medical bills, adding, "he stole my cake without even telling me" A man says his roommate stole his cake and then had an allergic reaction to it — and is now demanding that the man pay his medical bills. The 24-year-old detailed his experience on the popular Reddit forum 'Am I the A------?' a place where people can go to seek advice about interpersonal dilemmas. In his post, the man says that he and his 26-year-old roommate — who he says were 'friends before living with each other' — share a two-bedroom apartment, and that they agreed they would not share groceries. 'We have separate mini fridges in our rooms so you [can't] even eat or drink something that isn't yours on accident,' the Redditor explains. However, the man says that he recently came home and found his fridge empty and a 'plate in the trash.' He says that his roommate — who it turns out is allergic to peanut butter — had gone into his fridge and helped himself to some cake. The roommate's face soon became 'puffy and red as a tomato, so he called an ambulance,' the original poster (OP) continues.

While the roommate was ultimately fine, the OP says that 'after he saw the cost of [the] ambulance and Epipen' he 'asked me to pay for it all because apparently I 'posioned him.' ' The man says he told the roommate to 'F off,' and reminded him that 'he stole my cake without even telling me.' The man says that the roommate told 'all' of their mutual friends about the incident and says they are now telling him he should 'at least help' with some of the costs. 'So, aita [am I the a------]?' the Redditor asks at the end of his post. Post commenters were quick to assure the man that he should not feel obligated to help the roommate pay his own medical bills — and that he has every right to feel resentful of the demand. 'NTA [not the a------],' said one person. 'This is no different than if he'd had an adverse reaction to your medication. It wasn't meant for him. You didn't give it to him or agree to him having any. This is 100% his fault and his problem.' The same person added: 'Not only do you not owe him a dime, you need to make it very clear that his medical bills are not an excuse to fall behind on rent or utilities because there is a 100% chance he's going to say that he needs you to cover those if he has to pay his own medical bill. Plant your feet and don't back down.' The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'NTA. Absolutely not,' agreed someone else. 'He went into your fridge, took something that was not his, and ate it. This is a well-deserved, expensive lesson for him.' 'Technically, he's a thief and owes you a cake,' said another person.

78-Year-Old Woman Died After Eating Mislabeled Grocery Store Cookie. Now, Her Family Is Suing
Peggy Bryant, 78, died of a severe allergic reaction in April 2023 after eating a peanut butter cookie from Safeway that was mislabeled as an oatmeal raisin cookie Bryant was preparing to celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary with her high school sweetheart in a few months when she died Now, Bryant's family is suing Safeway over the fatal mix-upPeggy Bryant was preparing to celebrate her 60th wedding anniversary when her life was cut short by a mislabeled cookie. The 78-year-old had just been shopping at a Safeway grocery store in Duvall, Wash., on April 7, 2023, when she decided to enjoy one of the snacks she had purchased — and one of her favorite treats — an oatmeal cookie, according to NBC affiliate KING-TV. 'My mom loved oatmeal raisin cookies,' Bryant's daughter, Lisa Bishop, told the Seattle outlet. But after just one bite of the Safeway brand baked good, Bryant noticed that the treat was something else entirely, Lisa claims. 'She realized that the cookie she was eating was actually a peanut butter cookie,' she told KING-TV, 'and she's deathly allergic to nuts, peanuts.' Bryant was rushed to a nearby hospital, but died within the hour, Lisa recalled to the outlet. A coroner's report later confirmed that anaphylaxis — a life-threatening allergic reaction — was the cause of her death, according to her son-in-law, Greg Bishop. 'When they got the blood results back, [the coroner] said it was clearly anaphylaxis,' Greg said. 'Her blood vessels had basically broken down.' Months before she could celebrate 60 years with her high school sweetheart, Bryant's life was not only cut short, but her final moments 'were tragic and awful and painful' — an upsetting end for someone who was 'always filled with joy and fun,' Lisa told KING-TV. Now, two years later, Bryant's family is taking legal action. After the fatal mix-up, the health department carried out an inspection, which led Safeway to issue a recall, according to the family's complaint. But the family says it does not want any repeat incidents, especially because Bryant's death was so preventable. "I knew that we just had to do something,' Lisa told KING-TV. So the family filed a lawsuit against the grocery store chain. Albertsons Companies, which owns Safeway, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment on Saturday, May 10.

The family's lawsuit, which was filed in federal court, seeks accountability for the error and aims to highlight the critical importance of proper food labeling. "Do the right thing,' Lisa told KING-TV. 'I don't want it to happen to anybody else. Labels are there for a reason, and I don't want anybody else to die from mislabeling.'

My roommate wants me to pay his hospital bills after the food he STOLE from me 'poisoned' him
A young man has sparked a debate after revealing his allergic roommate demanded he pay hundreds in medical costs - all because the roommate secretly ate a slice of his peanut butter cake. The 24-year-old, who lives in a two-bedroom apartment with a 26-year-old friend, said the pair had been mates before moving in together and had set clear ground rules, including a strict policy of not sharing groceries. To avoid confusion, each of them keeps a separate mini fridge in their rooms - and even installed locks to prevent any mix-ups. But things quickly escalated when one of them ignored the arrangement. 'One day I was out with friends and craving the cake in my fridge for when I got home,' he explained on Reddit. 'When I came back, I saw the fridge was empty and the plate was in the trash.' His roommate had eaten the cake - which contained peanut butter - and suffered a severe allergic reaction. 'Turns out he was allergic to peanut butter, saw himself in the mirror all puffy and red, and called an ambulance,' he said, adding, 'Nothing serious happened to him.' But after receiving the ambulance bill and being hit with the cost of an EpiPen, the roommate demanded compensation. 'He asked me to pay for it all because apparently I 'poisoned' him,' the man continued. 'I told him that he stole my cake without even telling me and told him to f*** off and went home.' The allergic roommate then told all their mutual friends - and now, they're piling on the pressure, saying he should at least help pay. The fridge, the poster added, was locked - but the key was sitting on the desk beside it because he thought he could trust his roommate not to steal his food. Online commenters were quick to defend the original poster. 'This is no different than if he'd had an adverse reaction to your medication,' one person wrote. 'You didn't give it to him or agree to him having any. This is 100 per cent his fault.' Another added: 'Your roommate stole your cake and now wants you to fund the consequences of his own snack theft? The audacity is almost impressive.' 'Peanuts aren't a subtle seasoning,' one user pointed out, 'how do you not taste peanut butter?' Many agreed it was a boundary violation and warned that the demand for payment could just be the beginning. 'This won't stop at the hospital bill. It's the beginning of a pattern if you cave,' one wrote. Others were baffled by the roommate's lack of preparation. 'He knows he has a serious allergy and still blindly ate something he didn't buy?' one asked. 'He should have already had an EpiPen - especially if he's prone to stealing and eating random food.' 'Even if it was actual poison, it would still be his fault,' another concluded. 'You wouldn't steal someone's car, crash it, and then blame the owner.'
