World Obesity Day was created to position obesity as a chronic disease that needs you to spend money on drugs.The organisations behind it have been funded by pharmaceutical companies for thirty years. And the American Medical Association classified obesity as a chronic disease in 2013; overruling their own science council who said there wasn't enough evidence.In this pilor episode, Liton Ali follows the money, from the IOTF's founding in 1995, through the pharma funding trail documented by the British Medical Journal, to Novo Nordisk's founding partnership in the lobbying network shaping obesity treatment policy today.
