Santa refuses to wear pillow under his suit

Old dude who dresses up as Santa Claus in a shopping mall in Edinburgh refuses to wear a pillow under his suit because he believes it promotes child obesity. Yay! Santa 1 Obesity 0. From BBC:

"The parents and kids have been asking why I'm so thin and I say 'Santa's been on a diet' and everyone is in agreement that it is a good idea.

"I have always eaten healthily and have run a healthy eating course in the past. I gave up cola years ago when I saw what it did to a penny.

"I hope other Santas across the country follow suit so that parents start taking responsibility for their children's diets."
