The Simpsons - Role Models for Good Health?
Son of a diddly! The British Government is going to promote The Simpsons as role models of good health. Yes, we're talking about Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie.
Evidently some researchers looked at Bart's exercise habits and Lisa's diet (she is a vegetarian) and decided that they actually lead healthy lifestyles. (Obviously, Homer's lust for donuts and beer was not considered....)
And less you think we are making this up, here is an article from the Guardian discussing the campaign.

It seems like a smart project, especially if the show is as popular there as it is in the US. After reading the article I didn't get that the Simpsons are being hailed as role models but as celebrity spokespersons endorsing making positive changes in your life.
