Green Tea Will Save Us

I was copy-editing this morning, when I came across a curious spiel about the health benefits of Green Tea. After extolling Green Tea's promise as an anti-cancer agent (evidence: "Japanese and American scientists say"), a weight-loss aid (evidence: few fatties in China and Japan), and its potential to vivify the Georgian economy, the writer got to his point:

"The time has come to state the purpose of this letter: it is to promote the development of a tea growing rehabilitation program in Georgia, and to request that the government of the USA invest in its implementation and purchase the final green tea products for the prevention and treatment of weight gain for their corpulent population."

This made me inexplicably happy.
