This is the culmination of a trend in medicine that existed for decades. Everything becomes a disease and then there's a magic happy pill to make it all better.
I see it as a perverse and subtle violation of basic medical ethics, as it begins by basically lying to the patient, strips away their bodily autonomy through deceit, and ultimately violates the most essential ethical principle of all: "do no harm".
The challenge is rapidly becoming how can we possibly trust a physician, if he or she is willing to participate in such an ethically bankrupt system?
Obesity didn't jump from unhealthy to a disease, in between was a campaign to normalize it. Surely I'm not the only one that remembers all the ads about beauty coming in all sizes. Rogan and Maher did mention fat shaming, that was part of the campaign to normalize it.
I decided to change my life before it was too late. Let me tell you as a former fat person, fat people don't feel beautiful, they subconsciously despise themselves for having no self control. Realizing that I didn't want to spend whatever life I have left living on drugs I made a New Years resolution. I started eating carnivore, after a month and a half I swapped to Keto. I have very little appetite so I'm intermittent fasting because of it. I've lost 51 lbs, I sleep great, I feel great, and I just joined a gym and have sessions with a trainer. I can fit in clothes I last wore in the 1990s, now I want to build muscle and retain bone. I am lazy, and if I can do this anyone can. Just start by cutting grains, potatoes, and sugar. And stay away from seed oils! You will lose weight and gain self-esteem.
I just watched Footloose with my 14-yr-old and she couldn't stop talking about how skinny all the actors were. I actually noticed as well, even though I've seen it many times. I told her people were thin back then before all the hormones in food and processed crap and huge portions. I was born in '78 and no kids then looked like kids do now.
This idea of producing a product then garnish a market for it, in relation to Pharma and Allopathic Medicine, dates back to the traveling medicine shows.
In fact it’s very easy to draw a line that connects the more successful medicine show operators with the birth and growth of the pharmaceutical industry.
And that pharmaceutical industry’s steady manipulation of health control and information and regulation and education.
Just how do you get a doctor to realise that they are the duped prodigy of duped prodigy of......
We can go on about this world of studies that are only seeking proof. But when do we switch to studies that seek the truth?

Congratulations.
