I came across these incredibly odd Thai physical activity PSA’s earlier this week and had to share them. They are funny, weird, non evidence-based, and more than a little disturbing. But they are still pretty awesome.
Have a great weekend!

COSDawg85 (Sam Callan): @sweatscience @TravisSaunders however the obesity rate in CO is still rising. We are just rising at a slower rate than other regions.

Very, very interesting.
It’s interesting that since Thailand is a country with (probably) fewer overweight people than in western countries, a clearly skinny, underweight man was in the first commercial. Here in North American, everyone’s first instinct would be to show an “overweight” person as being automatically unhealthy.
I love your website. I have actually used this Thai clip in the Exercise Psych class I teach at PSU!
This makes me want to take up arm-wrestling.
These are fantastic. I will be sure to share them. Thank you!
