Santa is a public health hazard - promoting obesity and drink-driving, experts have claimed.
Overweight Santa 'needs a makeover'
Images of a fat, jolly and somewhat tipsy Father Christmas send out the wrong message and could damage millions of lives, they said.
Instead of sitting back in his sleigh and breaking the speed limit, Santa should get off and walk or jog.
Dr Grills denied he was a "public health scrooge".
"I wouldn't go as far as saying that Santa causes obesity - it's more about raising wider issues around advertising and public health," he said.
"Christmas is about a loving and giving. I would like to see us reclaim that part of Santa, not seeing him used as a pawn in a marketing campaign."....
.... Dr Grills wants a public debate on whether Santa's image should be used to sell products such as alcohol and unhealthy foods.
