I don’t understand the bizarre haters that show up in every GLP-1 thread.
America is fat, and the health consequences of that make COVID look like a regular Tuesday.
“If people just X” clearly isn’t working, we need results and we need results fast. The state with the lowest obesity rate in 2025 is higher than the state with the highest obesity rate from 1990.
- Me1000 2y agoI'm not a hater (or OP), but I think it's because GLP-1s are often talked about as if they're a kind of miracle drug. And it's very rare that drugs don't have some kind of side effects, especially after long term use. They might not even be universal, and we might not know what they are for years. Yes, I understand there's an obesity epidemic, I also understand that GLP-1 drugs can have benefits outside of overeating. But with any drug, it's worth being thoughtful about its use.

- skeaker 2y agoYou're absolutely right. As we all know, the perfect must be the enemy of the good, and so we must shun and ban anything that might be helpful until we spontaneously reach a utopian society where there are no problems at all.
- thefz 2y agoObesity is self inflicted, which means very low self control. Being obese and taking the easy way out signals zero willpower. It's laughable.
