Obesity UK - BBC

This was a very interesting watch and worth catching on IPlayer.

It was mostly related to WLS, but it discussed interesting point about how many people are being denied other operations when they are over a certain BMI. It addressed apparent prejudice from within the NHS as well as from the media and general public. It was a thought provoking programme - recommend.

yep watched it @Daisy and not surprised, in the country of Brexit we are quite happy to fat shame …

but as we know thats not the underlying issue and no politician is willing to take that on.

Watching it now @daisy, it’s making me feel angry.

That Sun columnist is a vile woman.

She was totally vile. Great how the presenter got her to change her POV though.
