▍原文

Obesity is not a choice and making people feel ashamed results only in them feeling worse about themselves, a report by top psychologists says.

It calls for changes in language to reduce stigma, such as saying "a person with obesity" rather than an "obese person".

And it says health professionals should be trained to talk about weight loss in a more supportive way.
