Los Angeles Times: COVID-19 has 'brought into sharp focus' the battle against the fat acceptance movement

The coronavirus is very, very unlikely to kill you, although the risk is higher if you’re elderly and/or have underlying health conditions … such as obesity. The Los Angeles Times recognizes this problem and has taken a look at how COVID-19 has brought back fat-shaming and thrown in sharp relief the battle between the medical community and the fat acceptance movement.
