Obese people are eating themselves fatter so they can qualify for free stomach-stapling surgery, experts have claimed.

Government guidelines state that anyone with a body mass index (bmi) above 35 and a related medical condition should be given the surgery on the NHS.

Is this what the NHS is really for?

One of the best episodes ever! Doesn't he wear a mummu? Haha

Dr. Nick Riviera: Be creative. Instead of eating sandwiches with bread, use Pop-Tarts. Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon.
Bart: You could brush your teeth with milkshakes!
Dr. Nick Riviera: (pats Bart on the head) Heh, did you go to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too?

Perhaps Dr Riviera will find a cushy job in the NHS!

The NHS already has many metaphoric ones.
