You do realize some people need medication and they are not overweight. Genetics.

Very few, but of course.

Weight is not the only factor in metabolic health

Is this ignoring things like antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and other mental health meds? Or are you? I wouldn't say that accounts for "very few" prescribed medications.

You and the OP seem hyperfocused on medication for obesity. I understand that's your obsession, but hitching your wagon to someone who claimed 99% of prescribed meds are for obesity doesn't help the perception that you have little credibility.

I bet 99% of drugs taken by people under 50 are due to obesity and women on SSRI's.
I know this is hyperbole, but the prevalence of ADHD medication alone makes this impossible.

I’ll be 60 in a few months, and I take two. Seems pretty good when I compare it to other people I know who are my age.
