Japanese Health Ministers Blog Their Weight Loss Live
Two top officials of Japan's health ministry have been put on a public diet that they'll blog about to show how to take action against obesity.
Vice-ministers Noritoshi Ishida and Keizo Takemi, neither of whom are particularly chubby, have pledged to shed at least 11 lb each over the next six months.
The posts (in Japanese) will include information on how much exercise the men take each day and what they drink. "I can't run or hide any longer, once the blog starts," Mr Takemi said.
