    “Eat less, move more” is the goal, but many obese people have massive hurdles to go and do that. Be it time, mental health, social circle, etc. It’s insanely hard to be able to even take time to reassess your daily routine and even more so to actually try to get out of your patterns.

        Nope, I didn’t take the time yet, but I assume that’s the point it makes. I’ve experienced it first and second hand, so it’s good to see that point being acknowledged.

            Just did, it’s a systemic issue with the blame shifted onto the individual then. One more to the pile !

              It definitely didn’t shift the blame on to the individual. In fact it calls for more personalised care and support.

                I meant that the article points out it’s a systemic problem, and the solution so far has been to shift the blame on individuals by telling them they should eat better and move more. It’s good to acknowledge that and do better.

                  I’m honestly really happy with the article. It feels like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with the putrid scent of fatphobia.
