UK Conservative
leader David Cameron spoke out today against the scourge that is single-handedly sending U.K. obesity rates through the
roof: half-priced chocolate oranges. The ones sold by W.H. Smith, especially. Oh, and cut-rate giant chocolate bars sold
in train stations.
With so many researchers and standards boards getting all technical on our oversized butts by blaming high fructose corn syrup and transfatty acids, and U.S. schools cracking down on vending machines and bake sales, it's good to see someone has it all figured out: chocolate oranges. That's the culprit!
I feel so much better now that the crisis has been solved.

Ugg! When I was 12 I ate 4 of those in a row, and I was so sick for 6 days that they thought I had appenticidis (shooting pains in my abdomen) - I couldnt eat chocolate for 3 years without the pain. Those choc oranges still make me cringe.
