NEW YORK, (Reuters Life!) - Santa has one message to calls this Christmas for him to set an example for children by losing weight — no no no.
The bearded, rotund Santa has in recent years been accused of being a fraud, an interloper and even politically incorrect but now he also faces accusations of being unhealthy and a bad role model as child obesity rates soar.
Santa has come under pressure to get rid of the wobbling belly under his red suit with Santas at a British shopping center — Bluewater near Dartford, Kent — ordered to attend a month-long boot camp with exercises before greeting children.
