    I love the media rhetoric about childhood obesity. “It’s those videogames and social media!!!”

    Maybe its because we punsihed them when they followed their natural instinct to move their bodies.

      Yeah but the obesity craze didn’t kick off until the 70s. We’ve been forcing kids to sit down at school for a lot longer than that.

      They were more active outside of school before that, yes, but mostly they didn’t eat an ultra-high-processed diet rich in simple carbs. We know why it happened, we’re just so addicted to the problem that the solution is only now coming, in injectable form.

      I say that as a thin person who takes a small GP1 dose because of the long-term sugar addiction I’ve had since before I can literally remember…
