Link of the day: Longrid The Huffington Post "Everything you know about obesity is a lie"
IN THE RUBRIC "LINK OF THE DAY" We recommend materials from other publications on topics that deserve attention.
Ask almost any complete person about the interaction with the health care system, and you will hear a story (and sometimes three) that is similar to Enneking's story: rolling eyes, skeptical questions, refusing treatment or delaying it. Physicians should be people who can be trusted and through which the patient's path to healing lies. But for obese people, visits to doctors are a source of permanent injury. No matter what complaint you come up with or how much pain you feel, the first thing they say to you is that everything will work out if you just put aside Cheetos packaging.
"Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong", The Huffington Post
The Huffington Post has released a longrid about obesity - and how the habitual approach to this diagnosis and universal fattopia interfere with helping people who have been given it. The long material contains stories of Americans confronted with discrimination - from humiliation at medical receptions, when doctors refused to see in them anything other than their weight, and automatically recorded them in "unhealthy" and "lazy" ones before abusive relationships with partners. In the text there is, for example, the story of a girl with an eating disorder, which the doctor persuaded to continue losing weight and starving, as well as the recognition of a woman who did not treat the inflammation of the bile duct, saying that she would recover if she stopped eating so much fried chicken.
Separate attention is deserved by the photos - all the heroes of the material themselves decided what pictures should be and how they want to look in front of the camera.
