Well, nobody really likes porking a porker, or being porked by one.

Can’t say nobody. Given the polymorphous perverse nature of the human sexual instinct and its ability to render shoes, genital reassignment and a ketchup bottle in the anus as objects of desire, chubby chasers are definitely out there.

The holy grail of weight loss. 🤞

After reading his diet book, one of the guys on The Behavioral Panel credits his weight loss to imagining Dr. Phil asking "Are you really going to eat that?"

Just imagining Dr. Shill is enough to replace appetite with nausea.

Listened to Emily Oster interview some doctor lady about Ozempic. She said it impedes fertility. Something to do with insulin.

Wouldn't it be the opposite--i.e., obesity/crap diet fueled the decline in fertility, and perhaps GLP-1 will help raise it?

One of the many Ozempic's side effects is infertility.

"There’s a big drop in fertility going on in much of the world. Perhaps Ozempic is related to a decline in appetites for sex and/or children?"

Um, what?

The fertility drop is associated with capital L liberalism, and has been widely underway for some time

Depends on whether protein or sugar is the bigger contributor to desire for sex and children. My money is on protein.

Numbers time.

(Didn't want to clog up the comments with charts and things).

So, it appears the worldwide dive to less-than-replacement levels of fertility began well before Ozempic, et. al., were available.

Now, a case may be made that the infertility effect will be exacerbated/accelerated. Time will tell.

I predict a floor of 1.0 and the advent of robots to mitigate all this horrible mess.

I don't think Ozempic use has been widespread enough for long enough to explain the fertility crisis. I would guess it's probably also used more in older people, not necessarily of childbearing ages. It does seem to rein in compulsive behavior though. Maybe they're fulfilling the cereal guy's (Kellogg?) mission who wanted to chasten the licentious youth with his cornflakes! lol

Agree. These drugs are too recent.

???? Ozempec is actually causing infertile women to suddenly become. Raw Egg Nationalist noticed it in studies.
