You can't still be hungry?!

Corange
A new Swedish-engineered computer is helping fight the UK's growing epidemic of fatties, Sneak has discovered. Apparently the ingenious system works by placing a plate of food on a set of scales, attached to the computer. If said child is eating too quickly, the mandometer (yes, that really is its name) will have a go at the poor porky. And if they snarf too much too quickly, said technology will ask "are you still hungry?". Great. Sarcastic computers; is this what the 21st century is going to be remembered for? Might as well hook the kid up to a tazer and be done with it.
