[obeliskprojectEU @ObeliskProjectE]

Weight stigma represents a serious societal issue that devalues individuals with overweight or obesity.

Stereotypes erroneously label people with obesity as lazy or unmotivated. The Obelisk project considers that obesity is a complex disease driven by various factors.
