"Weight discrimination is rife in modern Britain" - new research published on #WorldObesityDay

New research released today suggests that weight or obesity is the UK's most common form of discrimination. 81% of UK adults polled believe people with obesity are viewed negatively because of their weight. While 1 in 4 admitted they would hire a candidate with a healthy weight over an overweight candidate. But - can you really compare discrimination due to weight, with discrimination over something like gender, age or sexuality? Is it ever ok to criticise someone because of their weight? Stephen got the views of Liam Sartorius, personal trainer and weight loss coach, and commentator Siobhan O'Connor who is also trained in nutrition and personal training.
