Right. On this issue:


Ever-Widening Butts Cause Movie Theater Havoc!

Government Acts
The Issue
Several festively chubby people were lodged in their movie theater seats for hours, as Red Penguins's Fire Department worked to free them. Health organizations in are now expressing concern over the problem of obesity in Red Penguins.

The Debate
"Clearly, we have to do something about the expanding obesity problem in Red Penguins, er, no pun intended," remarks Buffy Wu of the National Health Bureau. "The government should implement an extensive exercise management program and make it mandatory that all Red Penguins citizens participate in some kind of exercise at least once a week."
[Accept]


"Mandatory exercise! Get out! I don't have the time!" snorts nationally renowned TV chef Pip Utopia. "How about banning those greasy fast food joints and drive-thrus? I mean, seriously - if you can't get out of your stupid car to walk in and get a meal, how sad is that? Ban fast food, and make junk food more expensive - that way, people will have to think about whether or not they want to spend ten [Unknown: currency]s on a snack cake."
[Accept]


"I don't see why it's anyone's business but my own how I kill myself," said Jazz Washington, a pleasantly plump computer programmer, stuffing a chili dog down his throat. "My weight is my own business, and if I don't feel like exercising, that's my choice. Sure, it'd be healthier to lose a few pounds, but my priorities lie elsewhere. Leave us alone, and we, the citizens of Red Penguins, will decide what's important to us and what we want to eat."
[Accept]


"What about government-funded liposuction?" asked a hopeful Alexei Barry, stuffing two chili dogs down his throat at once. "If I could get the fat sucked off of these hips, that would give me the willpower to stay thin. Obesity would be a thing of the past! Just think of it! Nothing but svelte, beautiful people everywhere! Ah, bliss!"



On choice 2. This occurs...

"Mandatory exercise! Get out! I don't have the time!" snorts nationally renowned TV chef Pip Utopia. "How about banning those greasy fast food joints and drive-thrus? I mean, seriously - if you can't get out of your stupid car to walk in and get a meal, how sad is that? Ban fast food, and make junk food more expensive - that way, people will have to think about whether or not they want to spend ten [Unknown: currency]s on a snack cake."

Erm.. I don't think it should be like that....

I would have thought it'd be [@@nationscurrency@@] or something close.

Just thought i'd bring to your attention.
