And also I’m righter than Steve Bannon. Just because someone think’s different than you doesn’t automatically make them “liberal “ which is a tired and much overused as well as understood term.

i didnt say you were a liberal i said that view point was a liberal talking point and it is akin to saying black people cant get ID's. As in black people cant drive to a grocery store. despite what you may think, its racist essentially saying black people are not capable.

As usual you’re taking an all or nothing scorched earth opinion. Which is all it is-an opinion.

I’m not naive enough to believe there are not plenty of our population that is obese by their very own accord. This is true and we all know it. And that part of your argument is correct and valid.

But to lump, well…99% of “fatties” (and now poverty stricken) people overweight and poor through simple poor choices of their own is a cop out and fricking stupid.

bro if it wasnt a choice to eat less than this medicine would not work. all this medicine does is control insulin and make you less hungry so you eat less

less than 5% of the population have real thyroid issues expected to rise to around 12% in next 25 years.

genetics dont make you fat, eating too much does

metabolic- true metabolic as in thryoid...sure. its not a very high %

hormonal- doesnt really cause weight gain, causes loss of energy and cravings. again...eat less, move more

advertising....again choice

Parents are not providing healthy lifestyles maybe because there is no parent or that parent is working 2 jobs or any of a hundred different reasons.

takes 15-20 min to cook a healthy meal. Its a choice and a priorties

And fwiw I lift light 4 days, cardio 6 days, stretch 7 days and eat as clean as I can most days but I’m old so I have the time. It is a conscious choice and one that could easily not fit into many people’s lifestyle for whatever circumstance. It was not always my lifestyle but one I chose and while it can be affordable it can also not be

your lifestyle is a choice. really glad you lift so much and you should join us on the H&F board

But hey-eat less and move more.

glad you could see the light

that would have been fine. IM a believer that if the shoe fits, wear the mother fricker

telling the truth inst really being a dick though, its more people are just not used to hearing it

I 100% support this medicine and think it is a super drug. But what it does is make it easier to make good choices.

you talked alot about jobs and essentially what is normal in society. unfortunately it has become normal to not exercise and being strong and looked down upon. All those things are choices.
