Of course, saying "fat people should simply eat less" is by no means novel. It's the same as "have you tried _not_ being addicted to [drug]?" or "Why doesn't he just [obvious but impossible action]? Is he stupid?"

For some people, "eat less" is easier said than done. Their body, for whatever reason, makes them suffer when they don't eat. Maybe it's easy – or hard, but possible – for you, and that's great. But don't assume that simply because you've never experienced it as impossible, doesn't mean others don't (or that they simply lack some kind of strength that you possess).

If anything, the effectiveness of this medicine appears to demonstrate that – much like other "chemical imbalances" such as ADHD or depression – obesity might be a symptom of biology that simply doesn't make enough of a certain chemical, or makes too much of another.

Also, I see you posting your website link on a bunch of threads. I read it. This isn't the place for a discussion about it, but I do want to point out a major rhetorical flaw: you appear to assume that _no_ patented invention is _ever_ actually useful. I think this nullifies most of your argument, because it's demonstrably untrue.

> much like other "chemical imbalances" such as ADHD or depression

Interesting that the examples you bring up are also things that turned out to be misunderstood and were not actually chemical imbalances.

> you appear to assume

Where do I appear to assume this?
