It's important you've written this. We need to have frank conversations about obesity. It affects a lot of people and a lot of people have very strong views on the best solution.

I'll focus on one area of your post: "They will have developed no good habits at all. They will not have a clue as to how to manage stress. They sure as fuck are not going to understand that exercise is important and necessary. They are not going to become discerning about what they eat...They will pop your pills as they suck-in a two liter drink with insane amounts of sugar and inhale cheap carbohydrates in their burritos, burgers, pizza, etc."

I want to emphasize how wrong you are here.

Fella is a 12-month program, with continued support for the rest of your life after that first year. The program is focused on:

- building resilience to stress & other testing emotions

- building a sustainable exercise habit which is enjoyable and sustainable

- building healthier eating habits which are realistic & sustainable

- building sleep habits which help improve metabolic health

In terms of the medication, it's really important to listen to obesity specialists here. They are trying to find practical solutions to help people. It's clear that moral indignation isn't working so far.

These are all legitimate concerns you raise. Know that I have researched this deeply, and genuinely believe this is the best practical solution to help the most amount of people.

Please let me know your thoughts.
