Japan's average population is getting older and everyone, including the government, is worried about the nation's health. In that sort of climate it's only natural for everyone to be constantly on their guard against Metabolic Syndrome (metabo in Japan) a combination of medical conditions that act in conjunction to increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. To help Combat Metabo, metaboinfo.com is now offering a service that is bound to help. The 'Virtual Wife' service is aimed at middle aged men who have a weight problem and need a nagging wife to remind them to eat well. You get to choose from four different virtual Japanese wives that will contact you throughout the day with 4 mobile emails reminding you to eat healthy.
Choices include a Japanese maid, a dominating business woman, a motherly nurse type, or a fashion conscience nail artist. Users then input their height, weight, and lifestyle habits and the emails you receive will be written in the style of your chosen wife.The service also allows you to use a meal management tool that will keep track of your daily calorie intake.
That's one way to fight obesity!(via Jesse)

hysterical, I love it.
I worked for a company with a weight loss drug and we spent a day brainstorming what tools they could offer on their website to support people's efforts to lose weight and avoid weight-related health issues like metabolic syndrome. We were NOT creative enough to come up with this!
