@Grannell_ I believe actually, they need to go with someone living with obesity to a non-obesity clinic and see what someone experiences. A cardiac clinic or a gynae clinic.
Go incognito and watch how they get treated. You will be horrified and learn everything.

The smartest people we know tell us that the search for a singular big villain is unlikely to explain what we're seeing. More likely it is a convergence of changes in the environment that is driving fat mass higher across the population. 5/5
“We just need enough people to care about people with #obesity to make the changes that are needed.”
Damn, sometimes I even impress myself! 🙃

At #OMA2023, @LutherLiz is giving a powerful account of the #WeightStigma and #bias we take into our hearts from implicit bias that envelopes us. Stigma turns obesity from a medical condition to an overwhelming personal challenge. So grateful for Liz's leadership @ObesityAction.
Powerful thoughts from @Lutherliz abt ways patients can overcome #internalized#weightbias and how important it is to talk to patients about the complex, multifaceted condition bigger than their own willpower & that its not their fault or theirs alone to cure #oma2023@OMAsocial
