The phenomenon of stigmatizing obese people is paradox in many ways: Although the rates of obesity are rising, stigmatization does not decline. Furthermore, stigmatization does not change anything to the good, it does not help us to assess people correctly, and it does not motivate obese individuals to lose weight. Prof. Steffi Riedel-Heller, director of ISAP, therefore, stresses the "importance of integrating the scientific findings in the development of anti-stigma-campaigns and of more appropriate obesity-programs."
