Transcript:
Goat: Did you hear the federal government is changing the labels on food to make certain dietary info clearer? Pig: Really? Goat: Yeah...check the label on your cinnamon bun. Pig: "Your arteries are clogging faster than the lone exit during a fire at a fat guys' convention." Goat: Well, now that 's an interesting visual. Pig: My people have their own convention?

I’m amazed buns have labels on them. Better peel it off before you eat it or you might choke.

That label is so wrong, on so many levels! And Pig just plays into the stereotype!
Shameful! Shameful, I say, Cartoon-Boy!

This flies in the face of conventional thinking,which says cinnamon buns end up on the hips.

I would have to encourage pig not to go to any convention. The menu would quite probably upset him.

My local TV news station hosted a fitness convention with a bunch of booths hawking Fitbits, gyms, protein shakes, and heart-healthy diets… set up in the food court of the local mall. Right next to the entrance to the show was the Cinnabon place. Nice planning there.

Aren’t cinnamon buns healthy?? They keep telling us how healthy cinnamon is for you. That’s the part I hear anyways.

Maybe people would pay attention to labels if they all used those visuals.
Apparently, over 30 countries post actual pictures of lung and mouth cancer on cigarette packs.

On cigarette packets in the UK. There is a picture of damaged lungs after a lot of years of smoking.
I didn’t have to see the damaged lungs to decide that I don’t want to smoke.
