Some friends and I all have Twitter and we usually use it throughout the day to put stuff about our diets or workouts.

One imaginative friend started a "story" about the fight to exercise and eating correctly. Here is how it goes.

BREAKING NEWS: Tensions erupt as Blizznow declares war on the Eatinabits!
By Franklin Wizzlebang aka President Walter Kusto
Mere minutes ago, President Walter Kusto of the country of Blizznow issued a formal declaration of war against the Eatinabits.
"The time of oppression has come to an end! We cannot afford to ignore the oppression any more. We must act quickly, we must act decisively!" said President Kusto at a televised speech in which he explained his rationale and issued the declaration of a state of war between Blizznow and the Eatinabits.
Relations between Blizznow and the Eatinabits had been relatively calm over the last few years as the citizens of Blizznow largely ignored the faction. However, things got tense when Blizznow attempted to pass legislation to control the growing faction which, according to Vice President Jara Oanna, "Was growing wildly out of control, and imposing a drain on both the economy and they well-being of the populace." Though the legislation failed to pass a largely Eatinabits sympathetic congress, Eatinabits responded with disruptive protests throughout the entire country, sparking violence in some of the more populated regions.
President Kusto further enraged the Eatinabits by stationing troops in various activity centers of the country, including the critical city of Exricisa. With help from local police, order was restored in that city and others, and the Eatinabits were largely expelled from the city. "We are experiencing the greatest recovery in decades. Our people are at employed, they are healthy, and enjoying life," said Exricisa Mayor, Chriss Umaah.
The peace was short-lived, however, as the Eatinabits banded under a new leader, Jenko Frido, and forcibly seized the megalopolis, Sweetssonville and it's sister city Breadonburg. While there was little violence in the seizure, both cities remain firmly under the control of the Eatinabits. Citizens viewed the occupation from a different perspective.
"This is great! Every night, Jenko gives us free donuts! And all the soda we can drink!" said one citizen with two glazed donuts in hand.
"I got a free extra large Javachip Frappachino for blowing Jenko a kiss! He's such a dream boat!" says another woman. This seems to be the general sentiment among the populace, but Blizznow General Crispus Vegetus has a different opinion.
"It's revolting! Absolutely revolting! Those poor people will be dead in weeks if we don't act quickly," he says.
The tension came to a head late yesterday evening erupting in violence between local police and Frido's ruffians, leaving twelve police dead and six wounded. President Kusto issued an ultimatum, demanding that Frido surrender the cities and turn himself into custody. Frido accepted a diplomacy session and the two leaders met to reconcile their differences. Things went south though, when Kusto allegedly offered Frido a glass of purified water. Frido took it as an insult, flinging the glass to the ground and vowing to retaliate with "All his power."
"I will destroy the government of Blizznow as you know it! And you will be my servant! We are mighty!" he screamed as he stormed away from the table.
"There can be no negotiations. It pains me, but force the only way to restore order. We must do what is best for the Blizznow people, " said President Kusto, in a comment about the incident. President Kusto has the support of Vice President Jara Oanna, and other leaders in the world who have dealt with the Eatinabits.
"We stand by our ally, President Kusto, and are here to offer whatever assistance we can. This is a battle that he can win, and will win," said President Jack Seven of Cannadio, who over a period of six months launched a devastating and bloody campaign against the Eatinabits, successfully uprooting the faction from his country. He is leading the way as a bastion of hope to others seeking to conquer the Eatinabits.
"We now have a common bond, and we will draw strength from one another as we seek victory against our mutual foe," said President Jennifer Sugarwith of Edgemonton, who is several months into her own campaign against the Eatinabits.
The President divulged no details about what comes next, but he promised that it will become evident "Very Soon." Vice President Oanna has enacted several initiatives that will reduce supplies to the Eatinabits and the President has already mobilized forces from Exricisa. More details as the story unfolds.

Breaking News: Statement from Kusto on Eatinabit Occupation
By Franklin Wizzelbang aka President Kusto

To anyone who can read this, please read this note very carefully. This is your President, Walter Kusto, addressing the nation. Please be comforted, both me and the Vice President Jara Oanna are safe and sound here in our underground bunker. It has been a very long month and I apologize that it has taken so long to get the word out.

As you well know, our bold declaration of war against the Eatinabits led to a surge in enthusiasm for our cause and was punctuated by a marked increase in public popularity for our just action. In the immediate days after, we held firm control of Exricisa and a few other cities. I confess to you, that in my impetuousness, we let our guard down, and could not have expected the events that ensued.

Assuming that you only have limited knowledge of the truth of the events of the past few months, let me begin by saying that our surge was quickly repelled by a suprising and massive uprising of hidden Eatinabit soldiers. It is true that they overwhelmed our forces in Exricisa within a matter of weeks and quickly swept through the country, crushing our forces wherever we met. The devastation was widespread. I was personally taken, in the immediate days after, to see the destruction of our various military installations and I am here to tell you that our situation is dire.

All too quickly, people are realizing the true intentions of rebel leader Jenko Frido. He wasted no time in siezing control of the country and its borders, and set himself up as Despot. I understand that he employed a deadly new weapon, a devestating railgun on cutting edge of technology, nicknamed the M&M. He wasted no time in turning the weapon on the people, using it to crush the few attempts at resurgence that I had tried to orchestrate with our military. I am saddened to announce that the four-star General, Krispus Vegetus, has gone MIA and is suspected to be a POW under the Eatinabits. Scattered intel reports that he has a simple message to deliver to the citizens of Blizznow, "The Cake is a lie." Our best people are trying to decode the message, but we have not been able to make sense of it yet.

Vice President Jara Oanna would like to reassure you that she is doing everything in her power to weaken the hold the Jenko has on our great country. Her efforts to cut off the supply lines, while hindered, are still largely in place due to their secretive nature. She has also overseen the opening of several safe houses throughout the country. If you seek to be free from Jenko's rule, you will be contacted. Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to locate the safe houses.

To those of you who continue to live your life, enjoying the free hamburgers and hot-dogs offered daily by the Eatinabits, please do not continue to indulge in their offers. The nightly french-fries and milkshakes program that he implemented may seem like a good plan on the surface, but it is to ensure your destruction. The donut trucks that roam the cities offering free donuts to anyone who asks are not there to help you! They will destroy you! Rest assured, the Eatinabits are not your friends. They do not wish to help you! Abandon Jenko and return to the roots of hard work and temperance that made Blizznow the great nation that it is today.

To those who see the true nature of our situation, our situation is bleak, but not lost. Hope remains anew each day, and we can cast off the tyranny of Jenko with perseverance. I have appointed a new and very able General to oversee the mustering of new troops. Interim General, Lowf Atmalk will be overseeing our military initiatives in the short term, including an impending operation to liberate General Vegetus. I have the greatest confidence in General Atmalk and his ability to take what little we have of our forces and organize them to become a resistance force to free our people.

I remain hidden in an undisclosed location for the safety of the country, and as a result, I have had difficulty contacting the international community. Rumors have emerged that President Sugarwith of Edgemonton will be issuing a statement on her own operation against the global menace that the Eatinabits have become. I can only hope she is faring better than we are. I am also happy to report that President Jack Seven of Cannadio managed to meet with me personally, through an elaborate conspiracy that allowed him to elude the Eatinabit border guard. He provided valuable information that helped him free his own country from the menace, and we plan to employ the strategies he suggested. Our intel sources report that he did actually make it home safely and rumors suggest he may release a statement to the international community on our behalf.

Your President stands for you, the people. I pledge to resist the Eatinabits as long as needed and we will be free from Jenko's tyranny. Please remain strong and support one another in these difficult days. Until next time.

State of Edgemonton today
by President Sugarwith of Edgemonton aka Jen Stephens
President Kusto,

This will be short but I wanted to give you an update on the state of country. It has been a hard few weeks since my Edgemontons' joined the fight for the independence from the Eatinhabits. With gusto the Eatinhabits have attacked both the southern and middle regions of my country and have waged a deep war against our efforts. While they have attacked you with the M&M's they have unveiled a new terror upon us.

The Emotioneze have ravaged the land. When my people are at peace the Eatinhabits unleash this deadly weapon to lull us into self-satisfaction. When we are angered they attack harder. When we are saddened by the many losses in our force they attack with an unparallel force. My people are weary but continue to fight.

We are sad to see hear that General Krispus Vegetus has fallen into the hands of the enemy. He has been successful in one small area in Edgemonton as he sent Farmer Mar Kets to our area and has been able to nourish my people with fresh produce. Of course, Jenko Frido's people have infiltrated but have been fought back with our own crude weapons that were brought to us by the workers in Exricisa.

We will not give up the fight though and will continue to work for the common goal. We pray for you and Vice President Jara Oanna and your ability to keep up the fighting.

If any word can reach President Jack Seven of Canndio it would be appreciated that he gives us any reinforcements that he can spare.

For Blizznow! For Edgmonton! For Cannadio!

Sincerely,

Sugarwith of Edgemonton

Update from President Seven and the Nation of Cannedio
by President Jack Seven aka Jack Seven aka A. Cannedy

Hello friends

It's been several months since our last report and I'm pleased to report that everything is going well. It's seems since action has been taken against the Eatinabits, many insurgents and rogues have made themselves known. They have dwelt amongst our people for so long but since the new policies have been enforced, they have come to light and have been driven out. We had so many members of the Eatinabit regime present, that they made up a good portion of our nation's population. Since action has been made against these terrorists, significant damage has been done to our city.

With the help of AE Construction, we're able to build smaller yet more defensable strongholds. We are actually in negotiations with A&F Construction as well in hopes of some collaboration but they are presently above our pay grade. Once we get rid of more Eatinabits and our stocks increase again, then the collaboration will look more promising.

Regrettably, we've seen a rise of vigilante Eatinabit groups that have made themselves known and have halted progress. In a recent election, current Secretary of Defense Xavier Thorton was defeated by Shaun Zannity. Thornton will leave office in four weeks and Zannity will assume the position as Cannedio's new Secretary of Defense. Both these men have great tactics against the terrorists and the citizens of Cannedio will never forget the contribution made by Thorton. Even though Thorton was defeated, Zannity offered Thorton an assistant position to Thorton; to which he agreed. But the remaining Eatinabits are proving to be the strongest of the mold. Therefore, the nation of Cannedio has a new motto: "Going from extreme to insane against tyranny and insurgency."

May the Lord be with President Kusto and President of Sugarwith.

The battle rages. Fight on.

President Jack Seven of Cannedio
