Is the world ready for extremely effective weight-loss drugs?

The news about the drug aside, there is some crazy /r/fatlogic in that article.

Many people are under the misconception that their weight can be completely controlled by diet and exercise.

Uh no, eating less and exercising more will make you lose weight.

Bro. I work out like mad and I'm down to eating zero calorie noodles with vegetable soup and a small amount of pressure cooked defatted chicken for all my meals (going on two years) and I still have a fucking hell of a time losing weight. Also regardless if I eat this or straight junk I am RAVENOUSLY HUNGRY 24/7.

But my insurance won't cover the tests necessary to figure out what's actually wrong with me and docs won't just prescribe stuff willy nilly that could help.

So I just look schlubby.

I have a diagnosed autoimmune disease so they just blame everything on that and as long as I'm not dead they're ok with it.

So respectfully piss off.
