Fails are a way of life. This week on the Daily Fail: 

• The apocalyptic pollution from Canada’s wildfires frightened many a New Yorker — but did you know it was actually mostly dangerous for your skin? 
• A dangerous fad diet helped a perimenopausal woman in Australia lose a lot of weight in an unsustainable fashion, as crash diets are wont to do*
• Melting chocolate in the sun is a genius foodie hack, Maura has a… meltdown… about it 

Be sure to give a listen to our friends at What A Creep – they chronicle the who’s who of the absolute worst people, and we think you’ll love it.  *If you or a loved one are struggling with disordered eating, you’re not alone — and you can find lots of resources from the National Eating Disorders Association.
