Carina :
well considering that childhood obesity is on the rise, it would make sense that childhood weight loss medication prescriptions would also be on the rise

Would you withhold meds from children with other health conditions like diabetes, cancer etc? Why is it even a question?

This is concerning. It’s important to address the underlying issues and promote healthy habits rather than quick fixes.

when do we start holding parents accountable? It starts with them 100% of the time.

This is an important issue to address. It s crucial to have open discussions about the potential risks and the impact it can have on young people.

“Nothing is working” aka parents don’t care enough to figure out how to feed their kids anything other than snack cakes. Fat is excess calories and those don’t appear out of thin air

kids shouldn’t be on weight loss drugs until they’ve finished growing or gone through puberty. minors should NEVER be given weight loss surgery.

if only parents cared enough to take care of their children’s nutrition that they wouldn’t have to turn to this

The increasing use of weight loss drugs among children is a concerning trend. It's important to address the underlying causes, such as societal pressures and unrealistic beauty standards, and to promote healthier lifestyle choices and mental well-being.

🇺🇸 How the U.S. Used “Free Markets” to Extract Wealth Globally 1. Dollar Hegemony + Debt Empire After the dollar unpegged from gold in 1971, the U.S. exported inflation and printed money to buy global assets. By making the dollar the default reserve currency, it forced countries to hoard USD and buy U.S. debt—America ruled by borrowing. 2. “Free Market” as a Weapon Through the 1985 Plaza Accord, the U.S. forced Japan and Europe to strengthen their currencies—crippling exports. Korea and Japan were pushed to open their financial sectors, letting U.S. capital buy into top assets. Using trade sanctions (like Section 301), Washington pressured allies to abandon protection of state firms. 3. Controlling Global Institutions IMF and World Bank loans came with strings: privatize, deregulate, let U.S. capital in. The WTO pushed “free trade” rules—but the U.S. kept protecting its own sectors (e.g. agriculture, defense, tech). 4. Neoliberal Indoctrination + Regime Influence Washington exported ideas like “small government” and “privatization,” weakening state control in Japan, UK, and Korea. It backed pro-American politicians and even used “color revolutions” to reshape foreign governments. 5. Financial Harvest + Tech Monopoly With global stock markets opened, U.S. funds bought controlling stakes in key firms across allies. Meanwhile, the U.S. never shared core tech—instead using patents, export bans, and licensing restrictions to stay on top. 6. Destroying State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Allies were pushed to privatize state assets: Thatcher’s UK sold off utilities, Japan privatized postal banks, and Korea was forced to break up chaebols. The result: national wealth flowed into U.S.-linked private hands. Europe’s Forced Liberalization for U.S. Gain • Under the name of “free market reform,” the U.S. demanded Europe fully open its markets and reduce regulations: • In 1986, the UK launched its “Big Bang” deregulation, allowing Wall Street to flood into London’s financial markets. • The EU was pressured to privatize, making state assets attractive targets for acquisition by American capital.

With child obesity, Diabetes type 2, fatty liver etc on the rise, ithink it’s great. If we aren’t getting help to but healthier foods then this would do, all those diseases have bad effects on their bodies so a little relief is essential
