Obesity all the fault of cut-price chocolate oranges

chocolate oranges, the key to all our obesity troubles 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.
