> If shaming did work, then it would have been implemented widely and obesity is solved. But it's not. We don't have anything that works as well as ozempic.
What kind of reasoning is this? This is only true if you believe good policies always get implemented. You'll notice other countries like Japan don't require every man and child to be drugged to stop eating food, and they have a much stronger sense of shame for being an undue burden on society.
It's pretty easy to believe that fat shaming would be widely implemented, since it is in fact widely implemented even without being policy.
No it's not. Official policy is to be nice to fat people and to pretend that they're not doing anything bad.
And reality is to mock them regularly and frequently. In media, in comment section, in real life.
