You know what’s really interesting? I was put on a medication this year that is one of the ingredients of a diet pill that the FDA just said no to. (I was put on it for something other than weight loss). I have lost about 45 lbs since April WITHOUT dieting. I have not tried to lose weight at all. I simply am not very hungry.
Now, I’m not suggesting pills for everyone who needs to lose a little weight (even for me). However, if you are morbidly obese, what is worse? A pill that might have some bad side effects, or being morbidly obese? Give people the information and let them make their own decisions. Sometimes I think the govt WANTS us to be fat and unhealthy.

“Sometimes I think the govt WANTS us to be fat and unhealthy.”

Government just wants to grow, like all cancers. Regulating the unknown (such as effects of foods on obesity) allows maximal opportunities for agency growth.

And yopu thought they were concerned with your health, didn’t you?
