@MichaelMossC Hey, Michael…please use person-first language. Ppl w/obesity and not “obese ppl”. @UCalgaryBodyBS

@lisajdubreuil

@UCalgaryBodyBS @MeganCharlish Sorry, no. Plse do not assume fat pple want “people first” language. Many find it stigmatizing. 1/2

@lisajdubreuil

@UCalgaryBodyBS @MeganCharlish Many disabled pple don’t like it either. “People first” language is controversial for many. 2/2

@DrSuePedersen @UCalgaryBodyBS Telling me I am ill **because of my body size** is stigmatizing in and of itself. #nothelping

@fatnutritionist @UCalgaryBodyBS I don’t think fatness is good. It’s a disease :)
