So, Americans have a known problem with obesity.

Do you think it'll help to use gas made from bacon, sausages and ham?

Imagine your morning traffic jam, with that 'breakfast is ready' smell. You look to your right, you see a man drooling behind his wheel. You look in your mirror, you see men trying to suck your car exhaust.

Whew!
