Summary

In this conversation, Prof Clare Collins and Prof Louise Baur discuss the complexities of obesity, particularly in children, and the need to rethink the definition of the word 'obesity' and why is should be considered a chronic disease. The discussion covers the evolution of childhood nutrition, impact of marketing on food, stigma associated with obesity that undermines getting appropriate medical care, and the importance of healthcare professionals in managing weight-related health.
