		<description><![CDATA[reminds me of an episode of the Simpsons where Homer is a food critic, and the chefs of the area plot to bump him off when he gives too many gratuitous bad reviews.  A french pastry chef pumps a buttery eclair full of poison and Lisa overhears about it, runs to tell her father and warns him that it&#039;s going to kill him.  He shrugs and is about to take a bite when she cries, &quot;DAD, NO!  It&#039;s... it&#039;s LOW-FAT!&quot; 
 
Homer: &quot;NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!&quot; *throws it and it explodes, leaving a sizeable crater* 
 
I think we can count on Homer Simpson&#039;s support to oppose this! :P ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[nobody thinks about the poor overweight people of colour, though, their minds are on the 300+lb stereotypical &quot;redneck southerner&quot; that exists on a diet of grits, bacon, ham, and 3 cakes a day.  So they THINK that this is going to affect the poor fat white people without taking anything else into consideration. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[how ironic that the left, which claims to find racism everywhere but within its own ranks, would promote a fat tax here in the USA.  a fat tax would affect blacks disproportionately, since they are fatter than whites.  
but to the thin white academics who dream up these procrustean notions, the fact that  black men love women over 200 pounds is of no concern whatsoever.  pursuing the utopian ideal of a lean, well toned body for all is what matters most. ]]></description>

I have to tell you, David, that without getting my news through a satire-filter, I think I&#039;d be depressed. You help me keep it together by letting me laugh at the absurdity. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[excuse me, plenty of fat PEOPLE in the UK as well. I recall a recent BBC article that put England&#039;s, or maybe it was the whole UK, overweight level at over 50% 
 
actually here it is:  
In the UK an estimated 60.8 per cent of adults and 31.1 per cent of children are overweight. According to figures from 2009, almost a quarter of adults (22 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women) in England were classified as obese (BMI 30kg/m&sup2; or over).
