Australian Medical Association Backs 'Measure Up' Campaign

Scum down under.

"AMA President, Dr Rosanna Capolingua, commended the government on the launch of its 'measure up' campaign.

The campaign, which was launched today, is aimed at helping people understand the health risks posed by carrying excessive weight.

'We are pleased to see the government is highlighting this important indicator. It is also vital people understand they need to see a doctor to be advised on not only the cause, but the management of the issue.'"

The last thing that is "vital" is for people to "see a doctor."

Clearly, bad doctor advice contributes to the number one reason why diets fail.

But when there is a buck to be made by Big Sick Care, patients be damned.
