It's a shame that essayposting doesn't burn more calories because if it did, the fat rats in this Scott Alexander blog could rationalize themselves into a healthy weight

A couple weeks ago, Scott wrote a blog discussing the availability of GLP-1 agonist drugs like Ozempic and how the FDA's actions might price consumers out of the drugs they now depend on. Vaguely interesting, as are most of Scott's blogs on topics on the periphery of healthcare. But of course, being a topic about fats it also encourages fat logic.

One commenter named Bob gave the sage advice to consume less calories, which actually caused Scott to bite on the comment:

Buckle in, because now we're in longpostville:

Scott continuing to bullshit around what is being said and focusing on mass rather than calories

This person claims whether he goes over or under his caloric budget depends entirely on whether he licks his spoon clean of the last dollop of yogurt

This guy compares eating less to literal self flagellation. Surprisingly his comment was quite concise for an ACT post
