Introducing ... Passive Obesity

We knew it was coming. The only uncertainty was how the righteous could possibly contrive to justify it.

Many obese people face an increased risk of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer. On average, their lives will be shortened by nine years.

But some might be unwittingly putting the lives of others at risk too.

These additional fatalities are occurring not in Britain's cardiac units, but on the country's roads, due to people falling asleep at the wheel of cars and lorries.

Bingo!

Ripped straight from the pages of the tobacco control prohibition manual, behold the brand new health threat on the block. Passive obesity.
