How come I'm told if I have a tuna fish sandwich twice a week I'm going to get mercury poisoning meanwhile Japan eats fish three meals a day and they are fine? I like tuna guys. I want more of it.
What's the mercury poisoning rate of Asia?

No idea but if it was high I think we'd all know!

95% percentile sounds like a pretty fat kid.

Oh, maybe not. That's just obese obese, not morbidly obese.

To be honest, I find it very difficult to not look at fat people as a lesser species.

It's not hatred, not at all. Just disgust.

Read it again but swap “obesity” with “gender dysphoria” and see if you feel the same way about the critique of the guidelines

I got that. Assuming stuff is approved as safe and effective, I'm fine with offering treatments to obese kids and pushing it for morbidly obese kids. So, what's laid out in that article is too permissive IMHO.

This might be the first good thing to happen during the Trump administration

Before: Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound — $900–$1,400 per month
After: Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound — $50–$149 per month

This could save many lives.

Now let's get people affordable insurance...

I hope this is real, and not just Trump lowering prices by 1500%.

Interesting that the body positivity movement went quite as soon as you could get skinny taking a shot.
