## Resource

I’ve received a lot of reader emails like the one below from reader Jeannie. I feel like I’m seeing so many people, including dietitians and doctors, who used to be staunchly non diet getting back on the weight loss bandwagon. Suddenly they’re all “you can fight weight stigma and promote weight loss” and “o-word is a metabolic disease” - and “use people first language” and it’s like they were claiming to be non diet but it was only because they didn’t think they could shrink us but now they think these drugs can and they are showing their true (anti fat) colors and people (including doctors) I thought respected me and believed in non diet care are showing me that they’ve always thought I would be better thin, or that my fatness is a disease, they just didn’t think they could make me thin (or not “diseased”) and now they do. Is there anything we can do to fight against this? Get full access to Weight and Healthcare at weightandhealthcare.substack.com/subscribe
