International T Day (Get Thin Day) Set by President Obama?

I read that 90% of Americans are overweight. I read 70% of Europeans are overweight. I live in Bangkok and judging from what I see about 30% of Thai people are overweight. I have seen thousands of Muslims wearing Islamic robes and most of them are overweight. It is a not a problem; it is an international pandemic. It must be having a huge impact on the world economy. I am not a statistics expert but it seams to me an equation could be formulated which estimates the cost of obesity based on US Dollars. It may be 3-4-5-6 trillion dollars per year of wasted money worldwide. #1- It impacts health insurance costs. #2 - Lost worker productivity. #3 - It causes deaths – #4 – Billions are spent on diet control books, medicines, weight loss programs. #5 – Billions are wasted on food that is not needed by fat people who overeat. #6 – Fossil fuels are wasted during the billions of extra car trips fat people take to satisfy food cravings every year. You can probably think of a hundred other ways obesity impacts the world financially. If we could add it all up it would be a staggering number. I think President Obama should set a “T Day” which would initiate an international effort to reduce obesity. If fat people had an internationally recognized day to begin their diet and fitness program it could give them a stronger resolved and increase their will to get thin. Everyone who is overweight can buy the T Day arm band kit for a few dollars. The armband kit would have plastic numbers 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 included to show the number of pounds lost since T Day. Each person could self edit the arm band numbers as they lose weight. If you see a lady at the Mall wearing an armband with the number 12 on it you would know she has lost 12 pounds since T Day. You could make a comment to her like: way to go…you look great…keep it up. You could encourage her even if you are a skinny person. People who are searching for the pion to lose the weight can receive positive reinforcement from society at large each time they leave the house. Weekly or monthly meeting can be held so everyone who is trying to get thin in the T Day program can have fellowship. The meetings can be held in every village, hamlet, city, county, province, state, and nation of the world! I think if President Barack Obama was the person to set the “T Day” starting date it would have the highest impact on the world. What do you think about my concept?
