[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of people who are normal weight but simply can’t grapple and have such a problem with those of us taking these drugs is astounding. [/quote]

I don't have a problem with people taking the drugs who need them.

I am concerned with the [b]idea that we should encourage people to eat whatever and however much they want[b] (because there is "no evidence" that telling them to eat healthy and exercise does any good).  Then, when they eat their way to obesity, "don't worry, there's a drug for that."  [/quote]

Are the people encouraging this in the room right now?

Literally no one is saying this or doing this. You have completely made that up. You know there are benefits to health-seeking behaviors like eating a nutritious varied diet with limited processed foods and exercising even if they don’t lead to permanent weight loss, right?[/quote]

People are literally saying there is no use to telling people to eat healthy foods and exercise because studies show it doesn't work for weight loss.

Fully agree we need to keep pushing the message to eat healthy and exercise for both health and weight management.  Sure, once you are too obese it might not work and then you need drugs.  But before that point, we should encourage it.[/quote]

NP. I agree with you. In fact, my dd got confused with her messaging at school. We're normal weight and haven't talked about weight at home. We only stress vegetables and nutrition, so the kids know why they need to eat vegetables. DD is 6 and didn't get why people are fat or what leads to being fat, so she straight up asked us. She'd asked her teacher and her teacher said some people are born like that, which dd was upset about and wanted to know if she was born like that. DD also thought wrongly that people were fat from not eating vegetables.

I think weight gain is very complex, especially as you get older and hormones mess with your weight, but for kids it should be simple: calories in vs calories out. [/quote]
