@dalias@hachyderm.io @shafik@hachyderm.io I suspect drugs that just waste-burn calories are really difficult to come up with. Because there would be a huge market for these.
No need to see malice here. GLP-1s are the closest thing we came up with, and only now are we seeing the result of their use. Of course there were going to be side effects.

@ska@social.treehouse.systems @shafik@hachyderm.io Well they can be very unsafe too (see other branch), but it doesn't even have to be burning. Inhibiting absorption, or triggering the body to dump/burn, are other viable non-puritan-bs ways to approach the same problem. I'm not familiar with details but I believe there is a good deal of viable research in this direction that's constantly overshadowed by "lol u eat too much that's sinful take this drug so you stop sinning" mentality.
