[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if people's visceral negative reactions to these drugs come from feeling threatened that now they won't be as special being one of the rare thin people. The majority of society is obese. Being slim and fit truly does set you apart and confers so many advantages in one's personal and professional life. You look better, you garner more respect, you are treated much more nicely. Now formerly fat people are shedding pounds at a feverish pace and joining the ranks of the thin and good looking. If being fit and slim becomes ubiquitous, there goes the special treatment for the skinnies![/quote]

This is just an extension of victim complex. People feel they are a victimized by "conditions" when the put themselves into a place of being obese in the first place. In analyzing this pharmaceutical that does the work for them, they figure out another way to be victimized.

Beyond this, you can definitely be slim using these drugs. But you won't have much in the way of fitness. At least not at a level that is admirable anyways. Fitness comes from real work. These drugs have the opposite affect with regard to strength development and muscle hypertrophy, among other things. [/quote]
