I think he’s more saying that if you’re fat and you want to lose weight (and keep it off) you have to develop an obsession with food — that it requires an enormous amount of constant attention and effort, unlike the relationship with food that normal-weight people can enjoy. This is why GLP-1s are so interesting. They suppress hunger, but more importantly they suppress “food noise” — the state of constantly thinking about food. You can separate this effect from appetite suppression due to its seemingly global (although still anecdotal) effect on ALL compulsive behavior, from drinking to smoking to shopping.

For me, the problem is that it's a lot more work and effort to find healthy foods in a society where unhealthy foods are the norm. I want to be able to go somewhere and order fresh healthy food to eat for example, because keeping things at home leads to risk of spoiling and mold, and that leads me to avoid keeping them at home, but when I go out to eat, I don't know how to get that healthy food, only fast food, but my doctor already says that the oils in fast food are killing my liver which is very bad. I wish I could just go to a restaurant style place and just like order fresh fruit or something.
