At some point and time someone needed to take a stand.

http://www.obesitythunderbay.ning.com is in complete support of response from these trend setting doctors .

Lets build a community based action plan to address obesity. In the pot we can add integrity , dignity , respect, kindness , and some spice called TRUTH.

NOW WE ARE COOKING.

My model is called SHARED ACCOUNTABILITY , and I am confident a community can lead us into a healthier outcome.

We seemed to be lacking in certain ingredients , but thanks to the doctors , we may have stumbled onto it.

Lets raise awareness on Obesity Dignity and lower fat hatred in the media. I am calling for a National Obesity Action Plan, and you can play a key role .
We need to demand a little truth and integrity for the media. Obesity is rolled up into many many parts . Poverty , education,level of income and mood altering with sugar and salt to name but a few.
I am 2fat2fly on twitter and I hope you come by and give me a follow.

Thanks Paul

Thank you for sharing this – unfortunately it is not a story many people will pay much attention to.

It is amazing to me that eating healthy in this country is really a counter-cultural act.

No, the doctors so not lose their professional credentials. Credentialing is managed and maintained separately. Membership in a professional organization is a matter of person choice.
