“Nibblin’ on sponge cake” may have sounded like a harmless lyric to an inoffensive ditty, but when it became a fad diet, it turned deadly. Medical experts are warning that the recent death of folk hero Jimmy Buffett is another example of the on-line phenomenon known by followers as ‘the Parrothead cleanse’, consisting of a massive intake of sponge cake followed by a liquid diet of nothing but Tequila and Fresca. “Sure, its fun at first,” said Harold Ventnor, a 62 year-old podiatrist from Orangeville, Ontario. “I mean, I loved the lifestyle, beaches, drinks, easy living, but this diet has to be exposed for what it is… deadly! I got out while I could.” If you or a loved one are dealing with the Parrothead cleanse diet, consult your family doctor.
