This would, I presume, affect the coverage of the Olympics.

Not only is one of the world’s biggest junk food pedlars the "official restaurant" of the Beijing Games, but they have been advertising relentlessly.

If we were to believe their ads, the key to our athletes’ success is by Aussies sitting around on their posteriors eating burgers.

Somehow Jared Tallent, for example, can tell how much grease we have consumed and adjusts his walking pace accordingly.

The "restaurant" also has the nerve to attack that great Aussie icon: the barbie.

For goodness sake, next they’ll be saying eating their burgers is better than going to the pub.

But this junk food propaganda goes further than just the Olympics.

The AFL, which regularly attacks and fines its players over behaviour it deems inappropriate for these "role models", has an official burger.

It seems the AFL sees a burger as a good role model of what the kids that watch our great game should eat, but frowns on fully-grown men going out and getting drunk.

Glasshouses and stones.

For all the obvious advantages of the Greens’ legislation, there is one major downside: it would slow down Australia’s quest to steal the crown of "World’s Fattest Nation" from the infidels.

Now we don’t really want that to happen, do we…
