A couple of things this week caught my attention this, but I haven’t had a chance to follow up or watch yet, so I store them here to come back to.

This is a documentary called “All of Me” which “shines light on our attitudes and prejudices about obesity — its causes, challenges, and the intense psychological struggle so many have with food that no surgery or diet can cure. The Girls take us through their food addiction and emotional eating with a searing honesty. For a group so often vilified, joked about, or ignored, All of Me provides a platform for their stories and encourages viewers to take a fresh look at our own prejudices and complicated relationships with food, fat, and our bodies.”

I also came across these article, which report on the STAMPEDE (Surgical Therapy and Medications Potentially Eradicate Diabetes Efficiently) trial. A colleague and I are very intrigued with the use of “efficiently” and “eradicate” in the title and also the acronym.
