Is there anyone who has ever eaten or even looked at a Percy Pig and thought 'there's a healthy snack!'.

I've managed to get to the age of 64 without ever having heard of Percy Pig, however, having looked at the packaging my mind said "not healthy".

Does this obesity campaign think they're not fattening enough, or is it in fact an anti-obesity campaign?
I came to realise that every time we recognise something human in creatures, we are also recognising something creaturely in ourselves. That is central to the rejection of human supremacism as the pernicious doctrine it is.

I could do with putting on a little weight at the moment. Do you think seeking out one of these Percy Pig things, which Like TV I had never heard of, and eating it is recommended?!!
