Mags Steele @msteele.bsky.social · 25/02/2026Public health researchers (like myself) want to take an upstream view of obesity, focusing on environmental factors rather than individual behaviour. In this talk, I argue this is not possible with obesity. Whether we like it or not, obesity just IS an individual and moralised concept. 083

Mags Steele @msteele.bsky.social · 27/11/2025Nice summary of @thelancet.com series on #ultraprocessedfoods #upf. My take: the problem is not individual foods, but: (1) changes in dietary patterns driven by (2) undemocratic corporate influence which (3) narrows options especially for those on lower income. theconversation.com/the-ultra-pr...theconversation.comThe ultra-processed foods problem is driven by commercial interests, not individual weakness.
