I wonder if these medical professionals in the study are even self-aware that they hold the anti-fat bias?

and

It would seem that the study implies indirectly if these professionals have the anti-fat bias, (lazy, no will power, etc,) then will they be more willing to prescribe medications (ephedrine, amphetemines, etc,) or order surgical intervention like Bariatric procedures... which, of course, only hides the problem, not solve it.

I hope they have more low carb studies and research planned and executed in the near future in a 'reputable journal' so medical professionals have other avenues to deal with the obesity epidemic, other than following a govt. recommended protocol for treating obesity.

Well, at least somebody conducted this study to show that bias indeed does exist in the medical profession against obese individuals.

Just my intepretation,
Korry
