Because it's man made and completely avoidable. Look at tobacco for example, it was the exact same thing until it wasn't because we woke up and decided to act on the issue
Helping currently obese people to get out of the loop is good, breaking the system we built that make more and more people obese would be better.
Also, being obese is only a part of the complications of eating shit and not exercising, the rest of the symptoms will catch up eventually, there are no magic pills
- HDThoreaun 4y ago> breaking the system we built that make more and more people obese would be better. The system exists because people like it. I don't think it's possible to break it at this point considering how people normally react to having their life made worse. You can't stop people from eating what they want, but these drugs make it possible to change what they want.

You can also regulate things you know, like not having your entire daily sugar requirement in a single can of soda Btw if you still eat the same garbage you'll still absolutely wreck your body, obese or not, you'll need a diabetes pill, a cardiovascular disease pill, a blood pressure pill, a kidney boosting pill, &c. You are what you eat, quite literally.
