vital stat updates to fight obesity
28 pink parrots, 32 sweating bungee-jumps or red kittens… and so on. You might have felt baffled lately seeing such status on your friend’s social media profiles. While it kept you guessing, only a few would have realised that this was actually a confession of their friend’s waist size! Surprised againIJ These status messages were inspired by a recent awareness campaign on the occasion of World Obesity Day, October 26, launched by health portal Healthyduniya.com which decided to observe the day and the cause with a unique and extended celebration, which serves more meaning than just another awareness activity. The campaign which was run through a ‘secret’ messaging on WhatsApp, Blackberry Messenger and Google Messaging called on people, to put up the size of their waist as their status on social media as a mark of confession so that those with additional weight can start towards reducing that.
