I don't think "surprising" is the right word here.

If anything is surprising, it's that it took "fat activists" this long to go after Ozempic with the same fervor they do a pediatrician who suggests going for a walk after dinner. Maybe they didn't know what Ozempic was other than an annoying jingle that made you want to stab your brain with a Q-tip until it went away.

I'll be honest, all Big Pharma ads blend together and sound like an adult from Charlie Brown cartoons. O-O-O-Ozempic could have been an H1 inhibitor or something to help you prep to not get AIDS (other than not having sex with someone who has AIDS) for all I knew.

We now know it's the trendy new weight loss drug, and it's making fat activists big mad. Also, whatever "fat studies" "scholars" are

That’s because advocates and “fat studies” scholars want to destigmatize and accommodate fatness—their preferred term—and push back against the view that overweight or obese people are somehow abnormal or diseased.

“Ozempic is 100% making things worse for us,” said Tigress Osborn. "It’s created an even louder public narrative that you could just solve all your problems by taking this magical drug, and if you don’t take it, well then, you deserve what you get.”

This is Tigress Osborn.

“People think that if everyone can just take this expensive, dangerous drug, we can get rid of fat people,” said Marilyn Wann, 58, a longtime fat activist in the Bay Area. It just creates more work for fat activists.”

Fat activists and scholars argue that a causal relationship between obesity and its associated maladies has yet to be definitively established, and that obesity itself is not a disease. In their view, it is inaccurate and unhelpful to stigmatize overweight people as inherently ill. Fat people, they point out, can be just as healthy as thin people.

Like most conservatives, I am pro-science, so I am comfortable in saying that, no, fat people can not be just as healthy as thin people.

That doesn't mean I'm pro Ozempic. Miracle drugs or treatments are rarely miracles and do nothing to treat the problem. Just ask all the people who got lap band surgery.

The only effective way to lose weight is by eating less and moving more (calories in vs calories out). If you don't change your lifestyle, you will find all the weight you lost. I say this as someone in his third weight loss era (down 60 pounds) because of his two "you fat f*ck" eras.

It's been years, and I'm still shocked that anyone takes "fat activists" seriously. If you want to be an unhealthy slob in the comfort of your 5X-sized moomoo, bully for you. That's not enough for these activists. Instead, they want to stop people from getting healthy just so they feel better for their poor life decisions. No one is forcing you to take Ozempic. It's not an mNra.

Not every opinion needs to be taken seriously and amplified in the mainstream media. Fat activism is up there with Democrats who think Sydney Sweeney is a eugenicist.
