The elephant in the room. The ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM.

I cannot even. I just cannot.

I knew Novo Nordisk wasn’t being altruistic acting like it cares about fat stigma, but WOW, they really aren’t even trying to hide this eugenicist agenda.

So I took the drug that is this campaign is about for diabetes management. When news came out that it was being approved as a weight loss drug at MUCH higher doses than for diabetes management, there was a sense of incredulity in online forums. A side effect of the diabetes drug was weight loss and I remember seeing someone post "yeah you lose weight cause you can't eat." It did bring my blood sugar under good enough control that I was able to get off of it in a few months but it was HORRID to be on. Nothing about this surprises me. The fact that they took a honestly horrid side effect of a drug and decided to market it tells me all I need to know about their intentions.
