ABC News' Love Letter to Diet Drugs - Part 2 Sell the Premise, Sell the Bit

In part 1 I started discussing the ABC News article “GLP-1s work but when they're stopped, the effects stop too: Expert” We discussed the fact that in order to buy the claims their “expert” makes, you first have to buy the dubious claim that simply existing in a higher-weight body, regardless of actual health status, is a health condition requiring treatment (which I wrote about in detail here and here.) We also learned about Dr. Louis Aronne, the “expert” they are quoting who, prior to taking over a million dollars from the companies that manufacture these drugs, wrote three books over three decades claiming he had the secret to permanent weight loss. Today we’re going to talk about the contents of the article. As always I’ll indent the quotes from the article, you can skip them and still get the gist of this article.
