There are cultures in which obesity is rare and yet they achieve it without drugs and surgery. That itself is pretty strong evidence that the claim that they're the only things that could possibly help is wrong. I'm glad those are options, because they certainly do help people, but if you take that and run with "welp, more pharma is the only way!" then you're not thinking very hard.
- ceejayoz 2y agoWell gee, if all we have to do is change our entire culture, that sounds easy!
- jpk 2y agoI mean, I didn't say it was. Most things worth doing aren't easy. Listen, all I'm saying is we should strive for something better than to be content with producing lots of obese people and then "fix" them with drugs. Pharma would love that, I'm sure, but it's a tactical fix that needs a strategic solution.
