Weight and health are deeply connected. Our WeightWatchers mission is all about achieving true weight health—and that looks different for everyone. That’s why we’re proud to support the the #ObesityBillofRights, which was introduced yesterday by the National Consumers League (NCL) and National Council on Aging to the public and policymakers. This Obesity Bill of Rights is a call to action to reduce weight bias and stigma, and to ensure individuals living with obesity receive a specialized, inclusive and compassionate standard of care—from access to trusted information to quality health providers and treatment coverage. We are committed to advocating for a future where everyone has equitable access to quality care. Learn more here https://lnkd.in/ejYiETAY
