Now that big pharma has a weight loss “wonder” drug (ozempic, wegovy etc…) watch the fat acceptance movement virtually disappear overnight.

Obesity will be reclassified as a disease, insurance will pay for semaglutide drugs and our mainstream culture will swing back to fat shaming as the norm.

I bring this to your attention because it’s important that you understand Incentives run the world.

And culture is not a spontaneous or organic phenomenon but a second order effect which resides downstream of monetary incentives.

I love this line from the authors bio: “She harbors unhinged opinions on goldfish, Garfield, and The Strokes.”

She makes an interesting point that changing beauty standards are really just a way to display one’s wealth.
