MODERATORS
It definitely didn't shift the blame on to the individual. In fact it calls for more personalised care and support.
I meant that the article points out it's a systemic problem, and the solution so far has been to shift the blame on individuals by telling them they should eat better and move more. It's good to acknowledge that and do better.
I'm honestly really happy with the article. It feels like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with the putrid scent of fatphobia.
