A pill to fight weight gain? Not so fast

Still hoping for a pill to cure your too-fat?

"'I don't think money is going to be enough' to crack the problem of obesity by pharmacological means, says Mike Cawthorne, director of metabolic research at the University of Buckingham's Clore Laboratory. 'Fundamental research, insight, brilliant chemists and probably most of all, a sleight of luck will be necessary.'"

You have no hope.

Especially with crap like this being touted as truth by the MSM:

"For an activity that seems to come so naturally to so many Americans, getting fat is actually quite complicated. Not surprisingly, then, so is developing a pill that will help reverse that process."

Weight gain is simple.

More Calories in than out.

By suggesting a more complicated means, the MSM and others of the nutritional homicide ilk, are preventing you from doing the one thing and one thing only that is necessary and will always be necessary to lose weight.

Consume fewer Calories than you burn.

This is insurmountable.

As are the side effects:

"Drugs that target the brain to promote weight loss have two potential weaknesses. For starters, because they act on a complex organ with many other functions, these drugs can trigger a wide array of unforeseen side effects. Second, scientists increasingly suspect that the brain is not the controller of appetite-related signals, but a switching station for them; if that's the case, then drugs that work on the brain are more easily circumvented by the body's natural tendency to hold onto or regain fat."

You have to be an idiot to expect this stuff to work.

You have to be an idiot to expect it to work before your overfatness ill-effects you.

But then you prove you are an idiot by being so fat that you are pinning your hopes on vapormeds.

"The hunt for such a drug, researchers say, will help reframe obesity as a chronic condition that needs lifelong management."

And lifelong contributions to Big Pharma and the sick care industry.
