Of course not. I just don't like how most conversations about health get subsumed into the much less productive conversation about how destructive obesity is.
- consteval 2y agoI mean obesity slowly kills you. It's no different than being an alcoholic or a smoker. There's really no healthy way to be those things, the thing itself is destructive. The reality is, to me, obesity is born of addiction. Which is why ozempic is exciting. Because it's not a solution that relies on moralizing or fatphobia or shaming.
