Fat chancers

The SNP have U-turned on their ban on prawn crackers and poppadoms. They are considering bans on two-forone offers on unhealthy foods and drinks as part of an obesity strategy.

I have an idea. Holyrood bans all unhealthy food and alchohol from their buildings. Snacks will be vetted, as in schools. MSPS will be subjected to a weigh-in. Those on the obesity scale will be subjected to a health regime. As the public watch the change in our leaders we can have a consultation on the results before moving forward. Or is it a case of do as I say, not as I do?
