Topic Tuesday for Burnout

On this weeks Topic Tuesday Meredith picks a quote from page 113 of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagoski.

“[G]rotesque discrimination means that it is dangerous to be a fat person in the world—not because of the fat, but because of the daily discrimination, exclusion, and stigmatization.

Reasonable people may disagree about the specific relationship between weight and health. But there is no reasonable case to be made, no evidence at all, that stigma is anything but actively harmful.”
