[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t have any problems with people taking a long term drug to get healthy. Plenty of people are on long-term statins, thyroid meds, mental health meds, BP meds, etc. why not these drugs? It’s not a moral failing to have thyroid problems or depression is it? Now that we have these drugs, however, is there any excuse for the obese to not take the drugs and give them a try? What if they’re happy at their size 28 and choose not to take the drug?[/quote]

Then they don’t have to take it, obviously. Not sure what you’re suggesting. [/quote]

That there are morbidly obese people who like being that way. Smug about their Instagram worthy lifestyle and not seeing that they even need to lose weight much less get on a drug that gets rid of their appetite.[/quote]

They…don’t need to lose weight if they don’t want to. You’re just mad about people being fat on Instagram now?[/quote]

It’s the body positivity they’re trying to market. Like they want people to know how beautiful and fun it is to be super morbidly obese. For the vast majority of people, morality does not come into play and these drugs are the only thing that has made a dent in weight loss goals. I celebrate that. But for a number of people, they glorify their fatness. Wouldn’t change a thing.[/quote]
