Co-opting Weight Stigma

The relentless push for weight loss drugs, particularly by Novo Nordisk, is infiltrating media narratives and grassroots movements. Experts quoted in major publications often have undisclosed financial ties to these companies, raising ethical concerns about the integrity of the discourse. This manipulation extends to co-opting anti-weight stigma efforts, framing access to these drugs as the solution to stigma while sidelining genuine advocacy.
