'Fat shaming' does not help people lose weight, experts say

"Fat shaming' does not help people lose weight", says expert


 yeah sure, and  ...

"fat-acceptance (apologetics) does not help the obesity / health crisis", says anyone with half a brain

small minds and corrupt manipulators always frame a debate as:
“one dimensional extreme A > versus > one dimensional extreme B”

its the insidious use of the highly subjective / judgmental term "shaming" that is most interesting

adds zero to the informed debate

meanwhile in the west:
    •    public health costs skyrocket
    •    there is a massively profitable “private health industry” supported by the millions of fat unhealthy people
    •    expenditure on so called health “services” now out-strips solutions research by 500-600 %

so  if there is any outrage and shaming over the topic of obesity - how about harnessing it to pursue massive class action litigation against those who should really bear bear the responsibility ( ? ), ie:
    •    insidious, money-grabbing, cynical food companies
    •    corrupt and incompetent health authorities and health sector professionals
