REUTERS: The Australian Government has announced a new program aimed at increasing activity and healthy eating habits amongst our increasingly overweight dolphin population."Dolphin obesity rates have soared in the past decade - with recent figures showing a quarter of all young dolphins are now overweight or obese,” a Government spokesperson said.
"This figure is unacceptable, which is why over the next four years,the Government will be spending $6.5 million on anti-obesity initiatives amongst smaller cetaceans. Our initiatives will include changing their diets from mackerel to garfish, and an education program.”
Translating for Reuters, a dolphin whisperer said an old dolphin told him that these days younger dolphins were spending less and less time doing tail stands and balancing balls on their noses, while expecting bigger and fatter rewards.
"Eee eee eee eee eeeh," the spokes-dolphin concluded.

It's sad that only the pole-dancing dolphins are staying in shape. The rest are just sitting and watching. Some say that since PETA started advertising that stunning and eating other fish was wrong, many of the working dolphins have just lost their will to remain employed.
