Mmmm… Tiny Chocolates

By: Nicole Kurokawa Neily

The British government has a new proposal to curb the obesity epidemic.

From the Daily Mail:

The Government is set to order manufacturers to shrink the size of chocolate bars and fizzy drinks.

Health Secretary Alan Johnson will tell firms such as Mars, Coca-Cola, Britvic and Nestlé that smaller versions of their products should be available in all garages and corner shops to help stop people piling on weight.

I think a better idea would be to genetically modify the human race to be bigger (so the candy bars seem smaller.)

Or, you know, maybe just remind people that what they eat directly impacts their weight. Whatever.
