Simpsons as role models

Homer loves beer and donuts but as the Simpsons are a very popular family they have to come over with problems, we all have. So the British Healt Minister Gilian Merron decided, that with the familiarity of the Simpsons it would be possible to communicate the desires oft the government.

Healthy Eating and Fitness will be the first topic
For now, the Simpsons still eat unhealthy fast food, but this should be replaced with healthy snacks step by step. This will give advice on fitness and health.

What do you think about it? Could you imagine Homer without drinking beer and eating his donut?

  1. well ... homer is supposed to be the way he is ... thats why he is famous.
    the simpsons deal with a lot of problems anyway - by changing him ... or using him/them in commercials for healthier products or whatever they might damage his/their image.

  2. Homer Simpson and healthy food- no way..just like Mario said: that would destroy his image. As long as i can remember there has only been one big change...that was when Burney gave up drinking beer...but than he got immediatelly addicted to coffee. so that was no big improvement ;-)

  3. It wouldn't be funny if Homer was drinking mineral water instead of Beer. If people don't get that the Simpsons are poking fun at a lot of American stereotypes then somethings wrong with them. Basically, everything that you see Homer eating and drinking, you should do the opposite.
