Bob Williams says we need to get back into the car, for the good of the environment:
It comes as a major surprise to many of us that storing energy in human fat is actually a valuable way of reducing our impact on the environment. Government may be introducing plans to extract this fat by large scale liposuction programmes and storing it underground but we all have a responsibility to reduce our participation in ecologically hazardous physical activity.
Of course, it's not going to be easy:
"But what about the cost? I mean cars cost thousands of pounds and thatís just to buy one. Then there are all the running costs and insurance and tax and the hassle if they break down and so on. And, on top of that, if I stop taking exercise and put on weight, Iíll probably be shortening my life as well. So youíre offering me the opportunity to have less money and die sooner. Itís not very appealing."
But don't worry, Bob's mate "Jeremy" has all the answers…
