@AaronBastani A sugar tax on lattes etc is a lazy, punitive policy. It targets ordinary people’s small daily comforts while doing nothing about ultra-processed food giants It’s another nanny-state tax grab dressed up as “health”, punishing workers instead of fixing the real causes of obesity
Views about the causes of obesity have polarised. Characterised by low carb and energy balance models. Last year NovoNordisk invited the protagonists of these models to Copenhagen to discuss commonalities and differences. The resultant paper has now been published in Nature Metabolism rdcu.be/dZryb
Yes, there’s a huge amount of judgment, and I think the discomfort with their success reveals significant prejudices about the causes of obesity. Many overweight people have spent years trying every possible kind of healthy diet & exercise with poor or no results. They are not lazy or ignorant.

@alphafox It's a problem, for sure. I'd bet money one of the leading causes of obesity is "comfort eating". People have replaced the love and comfort they used to get from social connections, kids, family, with food, and it's going to just make them more miserable in the long run. Food
Again for those who are struggling to grasp it. CICO doesn't solve for the underlying causes of obesity. CICO can predict weight gain and loss pretty well, yes.... But it doesn't even try to address the disease that is obesity. Therefore, it's not a model for obesity. https://t.co/TWaXsmdlM0

I would never deny an obesity drug to those who need it but... we have to address some of the underlying causes of obesity as well. Prevention should always be a priority and our current health insurance system does not encourage prevention.

One of the biggest causes of obesity, starting as a child, is the boredom and being lonely. Don't leave your children to their own devices. They don't have the emotional ability to choose wisely.

Also, I really trust his take on the “Big Two” causes of obesity. That, too, is well worth watching this video to fully digest.
The key problem is that those are, as you say, long-term solutions. Until the causes of obesity are fixed, not treating it with drugs is the same as not bothering to bandage a wound until it's healed.
It literally does make it better, though. Fixing the causes of obesity takes time, not treating it in the meantime is the same as not bothering to bandage a wound until it's healed.

I think I might be one of the main causes of obesity. Almost everyone I know is fatter than they were when I met them.
The root causes of obesity in the US, for example, are actually not well understood.
The benefits of exercise and the causes of obesity are well established, especially given the amount of time people spend sitting down and/or not moving, as one does when driving and on transit. Inactivity is linked to obesity.
I’m not suggesting we attempt to control weight during infancy, I’m suggesting we do more research during infancy about the root causes of obesity. I think research is generally helpful.

As @petersinger.bsky.social rightly addresses, we need to address the root causes of obesity in both high and lower income nations. It’s dietary, mostly, and the solutions would also impact planetary health (where beef agriculture has the highest harms). So plant-based, less processed foods. 2/3
Yes. The underlying causes of obesity are not what people might think. It’s a very difficult disease for which there has not been up until this, any hope. I have several friends who have struggled for decades with obesity. Some lost their battles
The causes of obesity are also metabolic. Weight loss medications address those metabolic contributors.
Skepticism toward Ozempic mirrors outdated thinking seen with food allergies or autism. Claims like “We didn’t need this before” ignore modern science and the complex causes of obesity. Ozempic represents progress, yet resistance to change prevents many from seeing its potential to help millions.
Tories never miss an opportunity to link obesity to “laziness” & people being a burden on the state. Disappointing to see #r4today whipping up stigma against a group of ppl that are already incredibly stigmatised? Why not focus on the root causes of obesity like poverty & mental health struggles?
First, the investment was made for diabetes. Second, would love your take on the underlying causes of obesity, cause it ain’t as simple as “eats too much”.

The causes of obesity are identical to the onset of an eating disorder. There is a use and also a hindrance, they should have consulted the greatest criminologist on earth. There is an interest in favoring individuals' diets to create control over their being.
I tell my medical students every year: weight loss is only possible if the patient has AS A BASELINE: money to buy healthy food, safe spaces where they can move their bodies, homes where they can afford their energy bills. Otherwise you aren't tackling key causes of obesity.
The gov't could tackle known causes of obesity by: raising min wage, funding councils to maintain parks & community centres, provide free fitness classes, make energy bills affordable--it would have long term benefits that well outstrip the short term gain of weight loss jabs.
I am not sure we have good data to rule out a common cause though; like Ezetimibe taught us about cholesterol levels, I think Ozempic might reveal that some of the causes of obesity (especially un-treated trauma) have been responsible for poor health outcomes in ways obesity doesn’t mediate.
