The STOP Obesity Alliance and National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) conducted a webinar yesterday on why weight is a health-related issue, the need for media and policymakers to more responsibly address weight-related issues and what barriers may be getting in the way of a more informed, responsible conversation. The webinar also unveiled key takeaways from a new guidelines document, Pounds and Policy: Building a Healthier Nation with Effective Communication and Legislation, jointly created by the Alliance and NEDA to help policymakers more responsibly address weight-related health issues.
Moderated by Alliance Director Christine Ferguson, JD, the panel discussion focused on why what the media and policymakers say matters when it comes to weight and health. In case you missed it, please find below links to several items related to the webinar that may be of interest:
