The food industry is right there with corn subsidies and HFCS laden food. Betcha they’re in ka-hoots.

And, if they’re insulin resistant, they’re by definition diabetic.

I’m not saying there aren’t real diseases that some drugs can help. What I’m saying is big pharma has created a lot of BS diseases (fake) just to treat them using their drugs.

Covid being a prime example of a nothing disease that was manufactured and a ready and waiting gene therapy (NOT A VACCINE) that does more harm than good. It’s BS.

As for:
Lots of overweight people suffer from bullying or other abuse that then turned towards food to self sooth.

That’s a self imposed psychological issue which in layman’s terms is they’re too weak to handle “life” which sucks for a lot of people but many turn out fine. There’s lot’s of trauma in life. It’s how you handle it and drugs are just a crutch for most of these issues.

Lot’s of fat people are fat because they like to eat so there in lies the problem it’s that simple.

Look at the current generation, they can’t figure out what sex they are because they’re to F’n stupid, as are the parents that put up with it, yet big pharma has all kinds of drugs that do nothing but mess them up even more and now government is trying to sanction it. This isn’t a disease it’s brainwashing from schools and institutions.

………………….

That’s absolutely a gross and vile statement. Children can’t process sexual abuse, rape or domestic violence. So often food addiction and other addictions come from early trauma. Because one person can deal with trauma one way doesn’t mean everyone else can.

I get what you are saying about big farm but you have got to watch out for big brush statements. Pain from trauma is real and it’s no wonder people have a difficult time healing when others invalidate their pain and experience.

So I’m guessing you’ve had some trauma.

Explain to me me where any type of psychological trauma requires any drug? Physical trauma resulting in an actual injury is one thing, psychological trauma is completely different and may require psychological help but drugs are NOT the answer. Anxiety?? Deal with it.... hit the problem head on. Drugs are a crutch.

I’ll stand by my vile statement. As far as the psychological help if it’s real it’s one thing but enough of the coddling BS because to me that’s the same thing as safe spaces, coloring books and puppy petting. Anyone needing that shxt is a pussy.

The current woke society needs to grow the F up, deal with life and grow a pair.

Rape is a psychological trauma, narcissistic abuse is trauma…. The flight or fight response goes into over drive after those events, otherwise called C-PTSD. In many cases people do require drugs, most often people will self medicate with what ever is around them. There very few therapist that willdeal with trauma patients because of fear of re- traumatizing the patient.

You truly lack knowledge on trauma and lack empathy which tells me everything. If it doesn’t happen to you, it doesn’t happen.

There were as many mentally ill people historically as there are now. They were managed differently. Locked in basements and attics. Killed either surreptitiously or lynched or in prisons. The state mental hospitals were considered a great and kind bonus for the mentally ill.

Based on today’s society a large portion should be locked up in mental institutions.
