David Ricks, says: "We have 44,000 employees, who wake up every morning wanting to make America healthy."
I have never met an obese person, or a person with obesity, on these drugs, who didn't tell me, how horrible they felt while taking them. Depression was a big symptom. Just the addiction alone, would make that person, feel what a big mistake it was to begin with, when they finally stop.
I like what RFK Jr. recommends, but it isn't enough to overcome obesity organically. To lose massive amounts of weight and keep it off, it takes a list of: diet changes which support slowly overcoming the addiction to food, soft exercise like walking, and walking in a pool or a level body of water everyday for at least an hour, meditation, psycho-spiritual counseling, supplements such as Vitamin C, Sunshine, and NAD; Minerals such as Magnesium, Zinc, ionic mixtures; Herbs such as milk thistle, dandeloin, yellow dock also ginger, garlic, chili, black pepper, turmeric; and homeopathic remedies which address the liver, pancreas and intestinal tract such as Chelidonium--a brilliant remedy., Berberis and several others.
I have coached many people lose weight through fasting, which with the above physical, mental, emotional and spiritual support, helps them change their mental-emotional state and hormones gradually while losing the necessary weight in balance with a working metabolism.
Getting hooked on a weight loss drug means years of using precious income, having emotional anxiety, including moodiness with hormones completely out of synch, and being dependent.
There is no magic bullet which is safe when it comes to healing any disease, especially when a person has had it since they were little. Unfortunately our society is impatient, and the drug companies completely take advantage of that.
Truly comfort foods as a coping mechanism are replacing our true need for relationship. Thus: "just stopping certain foods or drinks / drugs" does not work over the long term for most.
Tim it is complicated for many people who want to lose weight. The main complication is they have another persona which has taken over them; like entities, which/who they--just as you say--replace relationships. But the initial relationship which is first taken over, is the relationship with Self.
Our society needs spiritually centered, compassionate, balanced individuals who know and trust him/herself, who can help those who are totally committed to "healing themselves".
Unfortunately, the responsibility we are talking about, for each person, is rare. Either the helper has conditions for profit, and a big ego, or the person healing is too scattered, self-defeating and dependent.
For healing to take place--just as any good relationship--the two parties need to create a grounded, rich, trusting and safe center.
Great article! Also, never trust a gal who is pictured gripping what might possibly be my testicles, also known in the streets as 'performing air-balls'.
There is no way, barring rare disease states (so not applicable as an excuse for the current rates of obesity) to grow obese other than to “sit around and eat low-quality food”, and a lot of that, to boot.
As someone who did not grow up in the US I notice with more glaring clarity than my native-born compatriots how most of what “typical” Americans eat isn’t food, it’s a simulacrum of food. You can’t eat shite without feeling like shite, and no amount of drug injections is going to change that. Go Bobby!

Thanks, Ben, for this catalyst.

An institutional man, or a man who should be institutionalized?
One of my dear friends was taking that crap and fell backwards from standing position to dead . No way to revive him worked.
