Liveline: Thread with no name, Host with no shame

"I'll swap you 1mg Ozempic for 10mg Versatis."

I must say the caller Molly is symptomatic of the deluded society in which we live.

Her mindset is confirmed by her letting slip that 'I'm eating more now on Ozempic than I did when I was dieting for 35 years'

And, 'theres a reason for weight gain outside of high intake and low exercise and underlying conditions that we know exists but science hasn't identified it yet'

That's because love, it DOES NOT exist. The science of expending more energy in the form of calories than you consume through food and beverages, meaning that your body does not convert and store the excess as fat, is settled. Put to bed.

It's an old cliche, but you'd never see an overweight captive at Auschwitz or a fat PoW in the jungles of Burma or Vietnam?

Why, because they were mostly starved and made to work while being so.

No exceptions, no mystery. Overweight people without any chronic conditions are overweight because they consume too much and/or work off too little.

And I know it because I am one. If I cared enough I would cut down on sugars and empty carbs and up my exercise. And so would Molly.

I have heard it said that all you have to do is take a look at a photo of the crowd at Woodstock or the spectators at the launch of the Apollo moon mission to get a sense of how far we have come. There are simply no overweight people to be seen.

The Irish equivalent would be a look at the crowd in the Phoenix Park when Pope John Paul visited in 79.

There is little doubt that the development of hyper palatable convience foods and probably seed oils, originally developed as machine oils, has done a lot of the damage.

Joe is getting a bolloxing on Drive Time for telling de national that only diabetics to be getting de drug.

Well I got a package today from in post so it was right but I didn't expect it today so thought it was dodgy text.

So some scams are not scams at all at all. 😊

But Googling the site it seemed odd.

I think this medication will be the new Versatis patches and will go on for weeks.

But there is potential as there is different groups wanting it.

"I have diabetes I need it and that is what the medication is for. "

"I'm overweight I need it."
