    You’re just a bigot looking for people to hate.

    You’ve gone your whole life convinced that you have a moral superiority to people fatter than you are. That YOU have the knowledge. That YOU know what a healthy diet is, and they don’t. That YOU have more willpower than the slobs who have a hundred pounds on you.

    But really all it is, is that you were born lucky. Or you got lucky in the foods you were exposed to in early childhood. Your satiation reflex gives you a hunger level that keeps you at a weight below that of the obese people you take such pride in denigrating. But if you were to receive the same reflex they do, you would quickly find yourself at the same weight they are.

    And now, thanks to the miracles of modern medicine, we have invented a way to cure these people. We have discovered the means to help millions, to extend lifespans and healthspans by decades.

    And you can’t stand it.

    Because, now all those evil fat people are going to be a healthy weight again. And how will you know who to cast your judgments upon then? Those damn lying, dishonest, evil fat people! Now they’re hiding their fatness from you! They aren’t any more moral or willful, they’re just hiding their evil!

    There is something rotten in your soul.

      okay, first of all i apologize. i wasn’t talking about the people who actually need this drug, and i’m sorry for that. i live in a small world, and a lot of my exposure to these drugs have been about people who use them for vanity. those are the people i was talking about, but i didnt’ state that and i understand and appreciate your reply. i feel like a dick now, but it’s not your fault and i thank you sincerely for pointing out the crappiness of my post.

      edit - i’ll be more conscious of my “jokes” in the future. feels like it wouldn’t be a real apology if i didn’t include this.
