This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing! I received this question from reader Jeremy: “I’m in healthcare and I was recently in a training that was talking about O-word as a chronic disease (eye-roll) and then they used the term lifelong relapsing remitting obesity but didn’t elaborate what it meant, can you help?”
It seems to be in the same vein as the term "ob*sity paradox." Rather than admit the foundation of the concept of fat people as an aberration that need to be "solved" is ridiculous and untrue, they just come up with more terms to reinforce the anti-fat status quo.
i snorted tea out my nose when i read the bill shakes quote - oh - i enjoy this newsletter
So true and entertaining to read!
