The Future of Fat

[vennie]

Here's the thing about keeping people from getting fat without having them diet and exercise: all that mass has to go somewhere.

It is literally impossible, by reason of the conservation of mass (a core principle on which the existence of the entire universe literally depends) to just freely remove mass.  You can change it and you can move it, but you can't just make it go away.  Unless adult diapers become fashionable, there will never be a pill that will let someone eat however much they want without gaining weight.

For reasons of physics, literally, it is conceptually easier to make being far healthy than to make being fat impossible (through medical therapy).

I'm not sure that holds up in light of the fact there are people eating the same amount but not gaining the same amount of weight. One will gain nothing, the other one will gain 50 pounds on the same diet, over time.

This proves there's another component to the equation you did not factor in.

You say conservation of mass. This is true. It's just that there's a variance in how much people take some of that mass and make it their own. Once they device a pill that controls that process (and they will eventually, because of the variance), we're fucked!

Or perhaps instead of medication regulating metabolism, there will be medication taking away the adverse effects of being overweight.

I have a suspicion that would turn out to be a tiny fraction of the population:

1) Most chicks who claim to like being fat are in fact simply reconciling themselves to the condition, and if it was easy to be thin then they would chose to be so.

2)  If everyone could be thin, then society would consider those who actively chose to be fat to be even more weird and perverse than they currently do.

3)  Even those girls who genuinely do like being fat often only arrive at this conclusion after a lengthy process of not liking it.  If there is a cure for fatness regularly available, the chances of them enduring years of being uncomfortable with their size before coming to terms with it are low.

Agreed.

We should bomb the company who is developing such medication.

2100? We'll have fully augmented reality by that point. I'll finally be able to live my fantasy of having Nigella Lawson lick butter off my cock.
