Doctors who fail to disclose an interest should lose their license. The SEC doesn't tolerate such shenanigans for finance, why should the FDA permit it for drugs?

We've tried and failed to get people to "eat right" and exercise for the last century or so. We've put a stunning amount of effort into that option, and failed.
My dream career was urban planning. We used to design walkable cities and now we design a world that is car centric. Designing exercise into our daily lives used to be part of the urban planning profession. Paris was redone to put a stop to health issues in overcrowded slums. Nutritional value of produce has gone down for decades while we strip mine our soils and try to make up for it with chemical fertilizers. I don…
1. there are plenty of obese people in rural areas where they have all the walkable space they might desire
2. do you even know how little energy humans need to walk? a single candy bar is enough for a three hour hike
3. pick a random chinese/japanese city, find a youtube video with visible crowds, and count the number of morbidly obese people you see. it would take you a while to find a single mobility scooter tier flesh golem, if you can find one at all
"lecturing people like they aren't trying hard enough to starve themselves" is the only solution for the obesity crisis, because the only reason for the obesity crisis is vast abundance of cheap, artificially tasty empty calories. 300+++ lbs blobs of fat virtually did not exist before Standard American Diet

If you believe this you should vote for RFK Jr. He’s the only presidential candidate that has actually taken on industry. The VO has pledged to open up all the data in the FDA and CDC for transparency. We need this.
I hope X will add some quality control to ads they are showing.

> The research team points out that while some may see the practice of being paid to endorse drugs as unethical, it is not illegal and does not affect licensing. Does the US have no transparency laws for this? As in: "if you promote a product, then you must disclose if you're paid for it"? Even for things like "sponsored posts" on Instagram this is required; e.g. from the FTC: "Do you work with brands to recommend or…

cool story bro, but: 1. there are plenty of obese people in rural areas where they have all the walkable space they might desire 2. do you even know how little energy humans need to walk ? a single candy bar is enough for a three hour hike 3. pick a random chinese/japanese city, find a youtube video with visible crowds, and count the number of morbidly obese people you see. it would take you a while to find a single…
Rural areas are much less walkable since stuff are so far away, and thus are significantly fatter than walkable areas.
When it is easy to walk to places you need to go to people often walk, and such areas have much less obesity.
