> Ending the obesity epidemic will do more to bridge the class divide

My hope is the "waiting for the other shoe to drop" folks are just expressing sour grapes.

If it runs deeper and merges with the anti-vaxers, we've got a behavioural problem fuelling a class divide. That is my fear.



I’ve thought about this a decent amount.

My opinion has shifted over the years. At first I also thought it was largely just sour grapes re: accessibility and fear of the unknown, but now I’m thinking that a large number of people are going to be so far deep into anti-GLP opinions and hot takes they can’t backtrack out of it. Much like political or social beliefs you make into your identity. Too embarrassing to admit you might be wrong.

I know you’re alluding to the same thing, it’s just interesting to me someone else in the world seems to share these thoughts. I also think it may really delineate a multi-generational class divide that is hard to break.

Or all the folks on GLP-1s will develop some rare form of cancer and die early leaving the world to the so-called haters.
