The first European Obesity Day takes place on 22 May 2010 and aims to help
overweight and obese citizens and encourage them to reach a suitable healthy
weight. Its motto is "5-10 for a healthier Europe!" which aims to encourage
overweight individuals to lose 5-10% of their body weight and therefore improve
their health. On the day, citizens will be able to contact the medical communities and
politicians involved directly.
