World Obesity Day (March 4)
World Obesity Federation awareness day on March 4. More than half of adults in Germany are overweight (Destatis, microcensus 2021: 53%). Being overweight costs businesses through absences and productivity losses. Low-threshold education without stigmatization.
Idea to get started
Info booth with healthy snacks plus BMI/body composition measurement (body scale). Invite a nutrition counselor for private, confidential consultations. Display flyers for GKV-funded nutrition courses. Communicate without moralizing!
