[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's talk about the 'ridiculous' poster as though s/he isn't here.

I'm betting they are a fitness instructor or nutritionist or other sort of 'wellness' professional that sees the prospect of their business dying with weight loss drugs.

Or, maybe they are a person who lost significant weight and now has made that their identity (not incompatible with option 1).

My guess is someone who has endured a lot of psychological pain internalizing messages about hardcore calorie restrictions. Lots of dieting, food scales, and self-loathing. If the medicine works safely, all of that pain was meaningless. Therefore the medicine must be immoral and/or dangerous. [/quote]

Yeah but I went through a lot of psychological pain internalizing messages and dieting, and I think the medication is a gd miracle. It’s one of the great joys of my life right now to think that if my young child struggles with weight and blood sugar the way I have, there may be an alternative to the constant diet cycle and self-loathing.

I can see it work both ways! For example, take how people get wrapped up in the value of spanking children. Most people have come to understand that hitting kids isn't a good educational or behavioral correction tool. The costs of spanking outweigh benefits (if any). There are other tools and approaches that are more effective and less damaging. Even if these people were spanked themselves as children, they don't hit their own kids.

But some people just can't bear the thought that their parents, even the ones who meant well, hit them for no good reason. So they project value onto the spankings to avoid the cognitive dissonance they feel about their parents harming them unnecessarily. [/quote]
