the downside is it allows us to continue to avoid solving the real problem

ideologues will tell you this is that all mankind suddenly lost their ability to exert self-discipline a few decades ago

science points to a broad combination of things like corn syrup and seed oils simply making food too addictivly-rewarding and calorie rich for our nervous and endocrine systems to handle.

so, do we reform the farm bill and fast food industries, or do we take the antidote?

No one is steering the ship. You have the same right to try to fuck over Pepsi (which owns like half of all addictive food brands) by taking GLP1RAs as they do to try to fuck you over by putting who knows what in their food.

Some of that stuff they put in food is probably designed to antagonize your GLP-1 receptors, you know. They didn't know what those were, but they did know when they put it in food, you bought more! *cough* Pringles

Solving the underlying problem has been amazing. I wish more people could do it.

I have given up helping others since my solution was to embrace a carnivore lifestyle. But then im just in a tribal cult with amazing health.
