New miracle diet pill has interesting side effects

There's a new drug in America that's selling like hotcakes. It works as a fat blocker or inhibitor, and lardos are taking to it with gusto, as it means that you can still spend your days sitting on your couch eating fried chickens, tubs of butter and cookie dough, as the drug alli actually stops you from absorbing most of the fat in the meal.
