Liverpool City Council is to consider banning the word obesity in its literature aimed at children.

Apparently, it can “de-motivate” the salad dodging kids.

The BBC helps to illustrate the problem by posting an image of someone shovelling chips into their pie-hole.

Yes but that assumes they do not have fathers. I would have thought that lardy arse would be more appropriate. :D
