# 346 - Obesity shouldn't be a blame game - Dr Yoni Freedhoff
Dr Yoni Freedhoff is an associate professor of family medicine at the University of Ottawa. In 2004, he became the founder and medical director of the Bariatric Medical Institute which provides
non-surgical weight management. He is one of Canada's most outspoken obesity experts, and what follows is an insightful conversation about obesity. A conversation which, if I
hold my hand up, certainly gave me a greater appreciation of its
complexitities. My stance on obesity hitherto, had erred on the side of the need for greater education and application of personal
responsibility.
We hear about the current state of the obesity
epidemic, whether there is a role that eductation can play in
changing behaviour at population level.
We learn the doctors thoughts on the failure of governments when it comes to the obesity crisis.
We hear that obesity shouldn't be a blame game, that genetics
play a large role and in some cases obesity drugs are essential, and we learn about the role exercise can play in peoples lives plus we discuss the misleading marketing of milk and its supposed benefits.
