Given the global changes we're experiencing due to #COVID19 our Marketing Manager, Talia Wiebe, warned us of another virus to be aware of. The other virus we need to talk about: the digital spread of misinformation: linkedin.com/pulse/other-vir… #covid19Canada #CriticalThinking

Learn About Taking Action! Obesity is a complex disease and is also often misunderstood and stigmatized which is why we need our OAC community members to help take action on issues that matter to them. Learn more about #OACAction: obesityaction.org/action-cen… #YWM2019

Wow @Telegraph - nice job with the Tanya Gold click bait. I look like that @nike mannequin, and I’ve done a 10k, a half, & a marathon this year. And there’s another 10k & a half coming up. If you think obese women can’t run you’ve clearly been living under a rock.

Correction - @TanyaGold1 is selling women a dangerous lie - full of weight bias and bigotry telegraph.co.uk/women/life/o… via @TeleWonderWomen

Obese mannequins are selling women a dangerous lie

I fear that the war on obesity is lost, or has even, as is fashionable, ceased to exist, for fear of upsetting people into an early grave.

Your mother has #obesity Your father has obesity. Your child has obesity. You have #dieted your entire life and you have obesity. When will society listen to the medical evidence... and stop blaming the victim and start treating the problems of this disease?

Excellent image in @seanwharton presentation at #6COS 🇨🇦 showing why failing to keep weight off after weight loss is NOT character or discipline, but pure biology. Have you ever dieted and then regained the weight back? Not your fault! Biology. #obesity #svmed #vårdpol

Good morning! Quick reminder from us: #weight is not in any way connected with your worth, beauty, intelligence, capability, personal hygiene ... the list goes on. Enough of the false assumptions. Enough of of the misinformation. Enough of the stigmatisation. #EndWeightStigma
