The article is much better than the headline, and details how companies are trying to make the devices less of an ecological problem. But the framing in the headline just made me think of this.

Yep that's what I meant to say lol. Also a healthcare worker, and I agrew on the obesity problem. I've seen a couple different work comp claims for nurses that were injured trying to move/help very large patients, and it's a bit messed up. When we reach the point that we need mechanical assistance to move you, something’s gotta change. Trying to shame people into changing their habits demonstrably doesn't work, so we need to be looking at other options.

...like trying to get people to change their habits without shaming them maybe?
