This was hilarious because it was as well founded in science as any of the “real” news stories are, which is to say not at all.

And that was brilliantly funny. Cheers for the link!

I think that’s probably a mark of good satire, so I’ll just take it how I want to.

They’ve captured the hysteria sooooo well and the pie chart was a nice flourish :)

Wouldn’t exactly call it a fat-friendly publication — but I do love this piece.

Seriously, think about it, if any of us had written it everyone in the fatosphere would be cracking up and doing high fives. I not only found it hilarious, I really wish I’d had the wit to think of it first.

I just cursed the onion out. The onion has a lot of fat jokes, so, it’s hard to tell.

Composed it over there, then copied it to here. Oops.
