Brit farmers don't like couch potato term

Weird TV news of the day: British farmers are protesting - and I mean really protesting, with signs and everything - the use of the word "couch potato." They think it makes the potato seem like an "unhealthy" food. They held the protest in Oxford, England, because the protestors had written a letter to the Oxford English Dictionary asking that they reconsider their listing of the word and the definition they used: "a person who spends leisure time passively or idly sitting around, especially watching television or video tapes." They want the term taken out and replaced with the term "couch slouch." But doesn't this discriminate against people who slouch? And what if your last name happens to be Slouch? 

By the way, by the above definition, every single person who writes for TV Squad is a couch potato.
