Pumping us with weight-loss drugs.
Resulting in unemployment for those working in cake shops.
My GP (they’re nolonger my GP) sent me to see an NHS Dieitian. The dietitian told me that she didn’t know why my GP had sent me as l wasn’t obese!!!!
I’ve recently been told I’ve lost a lot of weight. At work we have all lost weight, less so some, due to doing a physical job, going to the gym, lots of protein drinks/bars, energy drinks and herbal tablets.
13 and half stones to a tad over 12 stones.More guilt-tripping of unemployed wage-slaves; and the danger of being forced to take dangerous drugs, when all genuine physicians tell us diet and exercise are the only safe options for weight-loss, not pills.
I’m surprised there hasn’t yet been an article in the Standard about ultra-processed foods and the profit motive that creates them.
Here’s a couple of articles on this sort of subject:
I guess that’s a start, but from over a decade ago. The recent press about ultra-processed foods isn’t just about added sugar though, but how certain industrial production methods – driven by the need to make a profit – have led to a widespread decrease in the nutritional and satiating value of food. You can see the causal link between this and the, very real, obesity crisis.
Actually, if the words “low sugar” are printed on the packaging of a food item then that is a good indicator that the food is a UPF. They’ve just swapped the sugar out for some artificial sweetener – which are now increasingly being linked to bad health outcomes.
One day perhaps. In the meantime here’s a talk from medical doctor and bestselling author on the subject, Chris Van Tulken
I want to make the case that obesity and diet related disease is therefore commerciogenic, it’s driven by profit incentives and more and more my research focuses on working with economists and with agriculturalists to understand how financial incentives drive this pandemic.
There is no obesity crisis. It is a myth. At one time someone who was obese could be seen in a side-show at a US fairground ( the Fat Lady ) or someone who, when they died, had to be passed through the bedroom window removed by the fire-brigade.
When obesity was redefined, critics pointed out that George Clooney could now be called obese. Like the unit of alcohol ( no-one knows what it is) and secondary smoking ( which does not cause lung cancer ) the obesity crisis it is an invention of bodies like Public Health England in search of increased funding. Journalists are happy to go along with the dodge because it helps fill space in their miserable newspapers.
Put the word ‘ultra’ before ‘processed foods’and hey-presto! another health ‘crisis’ is born.

And they could force us onto it under threat of stopping benefit.
We no longer have EU protections for workers, so Westminster can do anything it likes to us.
