TV medic Dr Eva Orsmond warns Irish public not to ignore health risks linked to obesity

Telly medic Dr Eva Orsmond has backed RTE’s Operation Transformation urging the Department of Health to return to sponsoring the reality show.

The dietician, who became a household name as part of the initial line-up of experts, warned we cannot ignore the health risks linked to obesity.

She told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “For all these different movements of body positivity, they’ve forgotten how important healthy weight is. It’s fine that we don’t judge people. But we’re not talking about physical appearance, we are talking about health.”
