Our archbishops and our political paragons of virtue seem to share that definite need to adress their long observed obesity problems.

Perhaps like the children, they should get out of their state of the art chariots and walk more. I'll contribute a voucher for free bread and wine to the first poster of a photo of a cleric or TD on public transport. Unlike many of their constituents, they should be able to aford the bus-fares.
