Responsible Dialogues: How we speak about a topic, how we portray it in images- frames our thought towards it. IFSO International Federation for The Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders has always been working towards a passionate advocacy for persons with obesity. The compassion towards the people living with the disease along with the maintenance of a scientific approach to obesity treatment has always been the motto. A new directory of acceptable terms in the obesity literature is a big leap in the direction. Along with the kind of imagery that the journal no longer finds acceptable- (no stereotypical/stigma: fast food, ill-fitting clothes, etc.).  Kudos!
