  I’m not normally one to call for harsher sentencing, however, four months, suspended for two years doesn’t seem like nearly enough of a sentence. The absolute horror of what she did is mind bending.

  Exactly, well said.

  3. Not sitting on your arse all day

  This kind of moral judgement type of advice really doesn’t help. As for the other two, that’s true if you want to drop a few Kgs. Obesity comes with hormonal changes that work like a conveyor belt dragging a person towards more weight. It takes more effort to stay still than I think you believe it takes to lose it all.

  On top of that, dieting triggers a hormonal process that seeks calorific foods and holds on to more of those calories. This has evolved to help us survive food shortages, but is backfiring on a population wide level now that food is no longer scarce. If dieting were the answer then Weight Watchers and Slimming World would have solved this problem decades ago. Instead they encouraged people to fall into the yo-yo diet trap that leads to ever more weight going on each time the cycle completes.

  This is all hormonal, not willpower driven.

  What GLP-1 inhibitors do is to shut down or quieten this hormonal response. This means that people can then do the obvious bit of eating less and moving more without their own bodies sabotaging them.

  This is the most evil comment I’ve seen in a very long time. The thought of someone burdening themselves with high interest debt. Debt that they don’t have the money to pay back. because if they don’t, they’ll die. That’s sickening.

  Unless of course you think it’s a serious solution. Then it’s just plain ignorant. Clinical idiocy levels of stupid.
