What do you say when a weight-based joke, food comment or stereotype enters the conversation? You don’t need a speech to challenge weight bias. Read our latest blog for simple phrases and questions that can help you speak up and change the conversation. bit.ly/4dp8wnM

You cannot know someone’s health just by looking at them. “I’m just concerned” does not make assumptions or unsolicited advice appropriate. Learn what to say when judgment is disguised as concern: bit.ly/3Vyvi6q

Restricting coverage for obesity treatment while covering the same medications for other conditions creates an inequitable standard of care.
Tell @Starbucks to stop weight bias. Protect equitable access to obesity treatment now: bit.ly/46QWwYs

Cutting care? That falls flat. PepsiCo is reportedly ending GLP-1 coverage for obesity for employees beginning in October. Obesity is a chronic disease, and its treatment deserves equitable coverage. Tell PepsiCo to reverse the decision: bit.ly/4x9AsmF

Weight bias can be the joke someone laughs off, the chair someone avoids or the appointment where symptoms are dismissed. These moments shape whether people feel safe and respected. Take the quiz to learn how to spot it: stopweightbias.com/quiz/

#PSL is back. Obesity coverage should be too. Pumpkin spice may be seasonal, but employees living with obesity deserve access to science-based treatment year-round. Starbucks, it’s time to reconsider the decision to end GLP-1 coverage for obesity. bit.ly/3TY7Vml

Weight bias can show up in health care policies that limit access to obesity treatment. @Starbucks is ending GLP-1 coverage for weight loss for its employees. No Bias. Extra Equity. Tell #Starbucks to protect equitable access to care: bit.ly/4gb9TbC #StopWeightBias #GLP1

People with obesity deserve equal protection in drug safety. New research presented today at #ObesityWeek2025 show that:
➡️ 86% said the FDA should require obesity-specific testing before drug approval.
➡️ 88% reported feeling angry about this gap in oversight.
➡️ 99% agreed that manufacturers must update labels when obesity alters drug response.
This isn’t a niche issue—it’s a public health gap. Read more: bit.ly/47o1iOh

The media doesn’t just report stories — it shapes them. Too often, that means reinforcing harmful weight stereotypes. That’s why @ObesityAction is proud to exhibit for the Stop Weight Bias campaign at AHCJ Health Journalism 2025 in LA, May 29–June 1. bit.ly/3ZFl3fR
The OAC is showing up to share facts and challenge the weight bias that still shows up in headlines, photos and soundbites. Learn more about weight bias in media: stopweightbias.com/weight-bi…

Did you know some medications, like Rexulti, are commonly prescribed to people with obesity—but weren’t properly tested on them?
This isn’t just an oversight. It’s a dangerous form of weight bias. People with obesity deserve safe, effective treatment. bit.ly/4ixCje0

It’s #PatientExperienceWeek—a time to celebrate respectful, inclusive care. But for many, especially people with obesity, healthcare doesn’t feel safe. 1 in 5 adults face weight bias from providers. Let’s do better: bit.ly/4jFvOa4
