@ScienceDaily 'Battle of the buldge' is a catchy phrase but the language has negative connotations, it is inappropriate & stigmatising.
@WorldObesity provide free language guidelines. Perhaps you could take a look for next time 👇

@ChannelNewsAsia it's great that you're re-publishing stories about #WeightStigma. However, the important message of the article is totally undermined by the stigmatising image.
Maybe next time check out the @WorldObesity free image bank.

We believe all governments, and relevant stakeholders must ensure mental health prevention, care and service delivery are integral to the policy and practice of Universal Health Coverage. unitedgmh.org/index.php/2018… #TimeToAct #HealthForAll #MentalHealthForAll

'Obesity affects people of all ages, geographies and socioeconomic backgrounds'. For too long the discussions around obesity has been fixed on individual responsibility. We believe this misleading narrative must end. It's time for a new #obesity narrative. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

One of the most powerful goals of #UHC is improving people-centred care by supporting health workers to meet the needs of vulnerable groups, treating people with dignity & addressing stigma. Check out this @WHO video for more: youtu.be/pj-AvTOdk2Q @EndWeightStigma #UHCDay

They influence our behaviour around food, they influence how hungry we feel, they influence the rewarding feeling we get from food, they influence how much and what we eat, and hence they influence our body-weight #GeneEating 🍐

On #WorldObesityDay 2018, we brought together our first Global Patient Summit thanks to many individuals and member organisations of ours. In this, we recorded many examples of stigma that they have received. You can find many of their stories here: worldobesity.org/our-network…

Good pick-up @EndWeightStigma and a great reference.
If one needs an image for these type of articles, probably should use a graph showing real data, rather than a meaningless, potentially offensive photo. It offers nothing of value. #obesity #obesitymedicine
Sky News please stop using stigmatising images in your reports about #childhoodobesity
T2 diabetes is an important issue, but inappropriate imagery undermines any important messages within this report
Next time perhaps use the FREE @WorldObesity image bank

Great opportunity for @HoopGroupUK @BrocqSarah and I to influence Parliamentarians and policy makers to improve their communication on obesity. #EndWeightStigma #Obesity

"You're wearing your disease on your sleeve". On #WorldObesityDay, we held a patient summit and were able to hear the views of many of those who have dealt with stigma. Here, @susieb16 delivers a powerful summary of her own experiences: youtube.com/watch?v=qImwwe3J… #EndWeightStigma
