Definitely. People should absolutely have mental health care provided for them as needed, and in this context a good physician should at least be able to figure out what each person needs. Their recommendations could be helping someone reconsider their relationship with food.

But it seems to me the majority of people who are obese are not extreme cases in the sense that it's the outcome of trauma or hormone imbalances. If that is the case they need individualized treatment plans. But I think, and I could be wrong, the 30% or so of obese people aren't especially mentally ill or suffering in that regard. What's changed isn't the people, it's the food around us. Unless somehow we have more incidents of trauma induced food addiction? Now again, I could be wrong so if you have specific data I'll take a look. But you're right, people are now surrounded by terrible choices.

But I do believe, on some level, even when  it's hard, a person has to decide, do I buy a 2 liter of coke or bananas and kiwis and drink tap water. I get it, income is a major factor. That's why I fully support basic income, subsidized healthy food restaurants as common as McDonald's and taco bells, etc.

But I do believe that we cannot remove personal responsibility from the equation, no matter how hard it is. Because on some level, I don't want to teach children that they cannot control their emotions and desires. We must teach them how, and help them make smarter food choices **and** change the environment fundamentally.

All schools need to have healthy, nutritious, tasty, and hopefully local food. But we still need to get people physically active. Reintroduce national fitness programs so all people can be strong and fast and fit.

Even if there's no gym around, almost everyone has access to free workout videos on YouTube you can do at home.

Basically anyone, no matter how poor their diet, could reduce their caloric intake. But it will not be easy. And many will fail.

And that's why I'm absolutely not opposed to ozempic when a physician, given a proper assessment of all the factors, has determined that for this individual person this is the best decision.

I hope that came across as sensible as it was in my head. I would never blame anyone for a food addiction, but I also would not absolve them of their free will to do something about.

Now Robert Sapolsky would say they don't have free will🤷 so who knows.
