Psychosocial origins of obesity stigma: toward changing a powerful and pervasive bias (2003, background): “With documentation of the stigma of obesity as early as medieval times (118), growing awareness of the pervasiveness of this stigma in present societies, and signs that the stigma is intensifying (33), the situation may worsen if steps are not taken to alleviate negative attitudes.”
