Nothing will change until govt & NGO’s stop taking funding from the meat,dairy, pork , poultry industry’s and Big Pharma.We must move to a whole plant based SOS free diet. Imagine no obesity, no type 2 diabetes and no Chronic Heart disease. To paraphrase Hippocrates “Let food be thy medicine”.

BMI is outdated and ignores bone density, muscle mass and other determining factors of actual health. How about look into the background of using BMI.

Ozempic isn’t always the answer. Cut back on soda, alcohol, and fast food like KFC. Focus on healthier meals—you don’t have to go vegan to eat better. Try a Mediterranean diet and add some exercise. It’s all about burning more calories than you take in.

It’s way way way more complex than that. Healthful food is more expensive & junk food is cheap & plentiful. The more weight you gain, the more inflammation, disease & feeling shitty. So, the less energy you have. People turn their lives around, but it’s not easy. It’s hard. People need support.

Jp_manacor @jpmanacor.bsky.social

Junk food is cheaper and more convenient—it’s everywhere, and avoiding it takes effort. But it’s really about education. Anyway, my point was that the article ended with an ad asking, ‘Is Ozempic right for you?’ Before jumping to that, why not focus on changing habits first?

Annie B Kay @anniebkay.bsky.social

Sure. I work with lots of women who’ve been dieting unsuccessfully for decades. Once the comorbidities start piling up, weight plus hypertension plus plus plus, then yes, Ozempic is not a bad option. It’s always a big decision due to side effects & unknown longterm risk.

Friends, please check your privilege on this issue. Heathy food is expensive & unavailable for many. Stress is at unprecedented levels, and even working hard on weight doesn’t always work. Have a bit of compassion before spouting simplistic bullshit.

I think say that it still holds as a general metric for most people. If someone is obese according to their BMI I think it holds 9/10 times. The biggest downside is that it doesn't take lean muscle mass into account.
