Let’s get constructively disruptive to improve the lives of people living with obesity!

📊 New Survey: 4 out of 5 Quebecers Call for Greater Support for Obesity from Government and Public Health. A Léger survey shows the majority of Quebecers want stronger government and public health support for obesity care. Obesity is a complex, chronic disease, and these findings highlight the need for better access to treatments and policy changes. Obesity Canada supports the need to shift societal and healthcare attitudes to recognize obesity as a chronic disease, ensuring equitable care and access to resources for all, as a matter of health equity and justice. #ObesityCanada #ObesityCare #PublicHealth #ChronicDisease #EndWeightBias
