I'd rather not fry my kidneys. Have muscle problem, just take steroids?

I think that bird thinks GLP-1 and anabolic steroids are similarly dangerous.

Unironically, yes. This, or grind for decades, or both.

This is the key for all addictions and compulsions.

I feel like the author is generalizing by assuming that everyone who is fat has an "obsession with food".

Yes. The emotional is the part of addictions that many people miss, and one of the primary reasons it can be so hard to break out of them. Addictions are almost always fulfilling some emotional need, or covering up some emotional pain, and if you remove the addiction without addressing the underlying issue, you almost certainly will either relapse or replace it with something else.

It's not about willpower.
