It's a wonderful idea: capital punishment through fatty foods and excessive carbohydrates. No needles, no appeals, just clogged arteries.
To: Y0K
Better get them on Weight Watchers
or they'll start looking like chubs.

Just like something out of Nazi Germany, the Soviet Gulag, or some mad regime like Pol Pot's.

Human rights groups attribute the weight gain to lack of mobility in the detainees' small cells. They also cited accounts of released detainees who said they were at times allowed to exercise fewer than three times a week. * sigh *
Of course, the fact that terrorists are getting fatter while in US custody is just more evidence that they're mistreated.

It probably also means they have been given medical treatment for parasites, ringworm and other intestinal disorders they probably had, not to mention clean water to drink and hot water and soap to wash their hands after they use a real TOILET rather than squatting in the dirt. All part of the modern world they find so revolting.
