Facts about obesity are displayed in simple text with the sound of chewing and slurping in the background. The text says, “Children from Ages 5-19 are most affected by Obesity,” and “The main reason for childhood obesity is eating while watching television or doing homework.” The boy finishes his soft drink and the message appears, “Treat Your Body Right”. The PSA was made by Suhaila Al-Salem, a board member, and active leader within the civil society organization, Women Cultural Social Society. She wishes to educate both parents and youth about health complications caused by childhood obesity, a relatively new problem in Kuwait.
