i would recommend this article for children. it is easy to read and is interactive! the author explains what is healthy, and then asks kids to write down what they eat to see if they’re incorporating “colorful” foods! https://t.co/CgFD0HWSF2 @beh353 #beh353

the thing that stuck out to me the most was Corissa’s doctor enabling her eating disorder just because she was obese. as a PA i will make sure no matter who u are, ur disorder will be taken seriously @beh353 #beh353

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

@KyraScott22 @beh353 i agree! it is very sad to learn how much someone’s appearance affects their care. @beh353 #beh353

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

this article was interesting to read. as aspiring medical professionals it is important to understand what language makes our patients feel more comfortable/ more inclined to seek medical attention! @beh353 #beh353

[Nancy Clark MS RD @nclarkrd]

What words to use when referring to people with obesity: https://t.co/XrxUZ6opxx #ObesityWeek

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

fat shaming an individual is not the way to fix the obesity epidemic. education and availability of healthy foods is a step in the right direction, but shaming only pushes backwards. @beh353 #beh353

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

@Doheon15 @beh353 i agree. often when i get my coffee in the morning i try to find healthy food options, but coffee shops lack that option. @beh353 #beh353

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

the barrier i relate most to is lack of time to prepare meals. being a full time student as well as working, exercising and finding social time, i do not prepare meals as often as i’d prefer/
should. @beh353 #beh353

[Christina Marotta @cmar0098]

this article is a great way to understand why it’s important to limit red meat / processed meat consumption!! @beh353 #beh353
