Big Pharma behind "Body Positivity"? - An observation.

[ロボ﹏§¤r﹏h¶rœ]

The only way to disarm the Big Pharma is to create a socialised (universal) health system. Consequently, the state will tax, limit and prohibit unhealthy vices. For example see: junk food being banned from schools, the Sugar Tax - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drink_tax etc.

Imagine believing that "sugar tax" and other so-called vice taxes are meant to do anything beside making even more money of the backs of taxpayers.

U wot m8, the NHS is a fucking beast that demands to be fed consistently on a diet of pure debt, it alone is worth 8% of the entire UK's GDP and is constantly rising.

Old thread but here it goes. Three years later with the Ozempic craze I think now big pharma is cashing in on selling a "skinny drug" to obese people so now it's the opposite.

However, they did make a killing on sick people with obesity related illnesses for the last three decades so who really knows if they were trying to keep people from losing weight.

Body positivity was a disaster. And it was NOT supposed to be what it became. Body positivity was about accepting body flaws originally. Let's say a pear shaped woman with no breasts and big hips learning not to hate her body as it was. Instead the movement morphed into a celebration of obesity by 2015. Oddly enough Ozempic culture is making thin in again.

You eventually learn how to navigate the terrain, but running up against that wall is going to drive you insane.

Shit. Can you make a thread about your findings?
