#Obesity prevalence among US adults has soared from 14% to 42% since 1980, but mean calorie intake has not changed much in population. In fact, people are eating less relative to their body sizes. This finding was confirmed in paper using multiple databases

The word ‘#obese’ is now considered unacceptable by the world’s academic community and should be changed by the @WHO to #obesity - because: a person has a disease called obesity and that person is NOT the disease itself. @pattynece @Eggface @PaulDavidsonPhD @ConscienHealth

Unfortunately the word ‘obese’ is still used as a medical term but many journals are NOW dropping it and editing content to the NEW correct terminology when referring to people, which is “person with obesity” @Nature @NEJM
