Is this the turnip’s health care plan to make Murica healthy? All one big ruse to give people a target to fight against?

You’re going to try and compare lack of understanding about a mental condition to people physically getting wider?

Didn’t care about the specifics of a particular one over another. My take is that promoting the ‘fix’ of something via chemical intervention that wasn’t a widespread problem until relatively recently is the wrong approach.

This is not something caused by genetics or some novel disease targeting the USA public, it’s a change in recent decades of our diets and lifestyles.

Pills and shots of any sort are only masking the underlying issue, regardless of their mechanism.

Which is quite a lot of words to say eating too much no-nutrition highly processed fast food/easy-prep bullshit.

I’m not disagreeing in the least that the mass of HFCS and salt laden garbage is a big driver of it. However, those things only are allowed to become the staples of our diets that they have because people are too complacent and willing to open the freezer rather than do a bit of whole food kitchen work.

I’ve made it a point to learn what I can to avoid the loss of capability to make decent food for ourselves. As I say to my kids, I worry there’ll be a day when Grandma’s famous thanksgiving pie comes in a box from Sarah Lee.

The workings of any particular variant are largely irrelevant.

In effect it still promotes the idea that rather than eat better and live healthier that your problems should be solved with a pill or shot.

Edit: Since diet and exercise are so unpopular here, I’ve yet to see anyone explain how it is that the average obesity rate in the USA has grown so significantly over the past century in anything beyond a ambiguous ‘medical condition’ or ‘genetics’.

The makeup of the human species hasn’t so dramatically evolved over the course of a few generations, that’s simply not how evolution works, but somehow despite supposedly nobody overeating and everyone getting plenty of good exercise we’ve gotten to a point where Americans are globally stereotyped as being big fat slobs.

Maybe? I dunno, seems a way for people to treat it as a get out of guilt free card. Some types work as stimulants to promote burning more calories rather than helping minimize intake.

The guy is an over eager would be tyrant, and the rest of his party knows they’ll be the ones in firing range when people finally get sick of him. Slowly it starts to show that he’s lost the plot and needs to be ousted…

So keep jabbing yourself full of weight loss drugs so you can consume more empty fast food calories.

In the mean time, vaccines bad and should be hidden. It was less than a year ago when the health department made some sense.

Not that I pay attention to the platform, but I gather these where prominent accounts claiming to be real muricans who totally supported prez turnip but where entirely fabricated. In theory an account either needs to be legitimate, or marked specifically as a parody of some sort.

Given Alabama’s rep as the punchline of incest jokes I’m not sure ‘One Alabama’ is a great slogan. We’re all one big family…
