[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

DP. How is this relevant to people trying to lose weight who want to use Ozempic?

I mean, yes, there are people who won't want to go that route but ... how is that relevant to the discussion we are having?[/quote]

The body positivity people who wear size 28 and up are celebrating a lifestyle. I agree that the semiglutides are a game changer and takes away the stigma of obese=lazy, weak, insert body shaming language. It is a scientific breakthrough that works and that erases decades of CICO that didn’t work for most people. Now that there are these drugs, is there any reason for the vast majority of people to be obese anymore? I think these drugs put the body positivity people on the defensive. Their influencer income might be affected if people don’t need plus sized clothing anymore. Theirs is the moral failing. No one else. None of the obese people who are taking charge of their health and bodies are a moral failure. [/quote]

Nobody is a moral failure because of their health or body size, you psychopath.[/quote]
