Let us know when it is published.<br /><br />I wanted to share with everyone a link to an interesting article on fat shaming in bariatric rehabilitation, and one therapist's battle to stop fat shaming there. Overall it's a good article.<br /><br />http://www.leaderpost.com/health/Obesity+expert+rejects+shaming/9173879/story.html Well-Rounded Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04129621631406155340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4738062031052371885.post-10585609959811791682013-12-21T18:32:37.822-08:002013-12-21T18:32:37.822-08:00Last month a call went out for non-medical people ...Last month a call went out for non-medical people to offer an article for an upcoming issue of "Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics." The topic is the AMA's decision to declare that obesity is a disease. <br /><br />Much to my surprise, my abstract was accepted. The point of my abstract is that by declaring obesity a disease the AMA has effectively given license on the further abuse of fat patients, many of whom are already struggling to get decent health care.<br /><br />Part of my article will be information with references just like these. Part is my own narrative, but I am just one voice in the wind. <br /><br />Any thoughts or advice is welcome. you can reach me via the email address tied to this comment. Thank you. :)<br /><br />Related: It's well known that Yahoo! news articles are a haven for trolls and the ignorant. Try, just try, to comment there to point out that obesity does not kill people and that HAES is the way to good health. You'll be voted and shouted down by ignorant boobs who are sure they know better. After all, some talking-head Doctor on the tv says so, right?
