  I can see where Bullyland might exist among regular people, but not among doctors given that M6L is literally run by Dr. Now’s son and overweight + obesity is approaching the number 1 preventable cause of death in the US. I guess I just have a different perspective than most?

    If said doctors participate in something that is oriented to appease the public of bullies, I don’t care about their good intentions – they’re accomplices.

    The producers don’t care about reducing the health crisis in the US. They care about viewers and the money they bring.
