Mehmood Butt began eating tree branches and leaves 25 years ago because he was living in poverty and couldn’t afford real food. Now, despite having a job, he continues to eat the bizarre diet and claims to never have gotten ill from it.
I’m not one much for diets. Calorie-counting, portion-sizing and meal-replacing are not phrases that exist in my vocabulary, for better or for worse. But, reader, I stand before you a chastened woman, because I must admit I’ve been on a diet for the past week now. I’ve eaten two breakfasts every day, gorged on Special...

Noah Syndergaard was good, not great. And good by Syndergaard’s standards is still pretty impressive. He gave the Mets desperately needed length — seven innings, and 114 pitches. He struck out 10. His fastball hit triple-digits. He didn’t walk anybody — again. But he still came out the loser, 6-4, to the Phillies on Thursday...
