Vanity?? 70% of Americans are too big-- and 60% are obese. MORBID OBESITY is our fastest growing category. Maybe some of those huge bodies should have had bariatric surgery where your stomach is reduced to s the size of a toddlers.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I have a friend who went on one of these drugs (obtained at a pop-up strip-mall clinic) to lose 20 lbs. That was what I meant by vanity. I know most Americans are overweight or obese but I don't think these drugs are necessarily the way to alter the landscape unless obesity/diabetes is more of a threat to one's life than gastroparesis, and I'm sure it sometimes is.

Why would I be offended other than I have spent 83 years looking at ugly bodies. In fact, Americans are so messed up because of their gluttony guilt -- one of the SEVEN deadly sins-- and their hatred of their appearance and their nonstop lying-- no dieting without lying-- so Trump is appealing. This issue is so much more than anyone knows. I have watched my entire life.
