People really are fucking stupid.
Are you suggesting that capitalism will just allow something like that to exist?
The same capitalism that destroyed (and continues to destroy) the climate even though there are "cures" to the problem.
The same capitalism that pushed cigarettes on the public knowing full well there was a "cure" for everyone developing COPD and lung cancer?
The same capitalism that hates Ozempic because people are buying less junk food?
I'm not necessarily saying they have a cure for obesity. But you'd have to be pretty fucking naive to think it wouldn't be fought/suppressed if there was. Go ahead and look up Ozempic and the snack food industry. Tell me there aren't people spending money right now to keep Americans fat.
