    The up coming weight loss drugs. I’m moderately over weight and been fighting it 20 years.

    Having some help there would be a god send for a lot of people and I’m slightly optimistic on this round of drugs.

      We’ve literally wasted decades because we’ve treated obesity as a personal failing rather than researching the problem.

      Yeah, companies starting an obesity epidemic by pumping us full of government subsidized corn syrup, only to solve that by getting us reliant on an exorbitantly expensive drug that you have to inject every day. How I love capitalism.

        God fucking forbid we take any self responsibility.

        I eat pretty much zero processed food and it’s incredibly easy and inexpensive.

        I’m fat because I eat and snack too much and it’s 100% my fault.
