Honest to God looking at this video I can see the weight loss. Like I know I’m heavier than I was in 2022 still. But damn I almost look like a human being pic.twitter.com/N1YCrPLsvZ

The Economics of Obesity

Americans got fat because of marketplace innovations—but they can help us slim down too.

There’s an economic explanation for America’s obesity problem. High-calorie foods are cheaper than ever, and changes in the way we work have created a sedentary nation. Happily, the market is generating a solution: medical innovations that can reduce obesity. But insurers and the government are limiting coverage for these treatments because of shortsighted business calculations.

Obesity afflicts 42% of the U.S. population. Many attribute America’s weight problem to genetics, addiction or culture, but the analysis Richard Posner and I began in 1999 demonstrates that the problem is an economic one driven by technological change. Agricultural innovations have increased output and cut the price of food dramatically. Historically, it wasn’t feasible to produce all the food necessary for an obese population this large, but today we can do it easily and cheaply.

At the same time, innovations that increased productivity in other areas of the economy, such as automation and computers, have made work sedentary. When more Americans worked in manual labor, they exercised for much of the workweek and got paid to do it. Now many Americans sit as they work and have to pay for exercise in gym fees and lost leisure time. Total calories spent a year has fallen nationally as more people have shifted to white-collar jobs. Even someone who is diligent about going to the gym only gets a few hours of vigorous exercise a week, while a manual laborer rarely stops moving.

These changes have overall been hugely beneficial for the U.S. and the world, but the side effects on weight gain are regrettable and hard to combat through behavioral modification. Aggregate food consumption has fallen even during some periods of obesity growth in the U.S., such as during the postwar period. It isn’t only a U.S. issue. Many economies where food is cheap and work isn’t physically taxing are dealing with the same problem. The World Health Organization estimates that about 650 million people world-wide were obese in 2016 and the World Obesity Federation predicts that almost a billion will be in 2025.

It isn’t hard to see how obesity could become so widespread. There are strong incentives pushing Americans to gain weight. But this also means there is now a large global market for obesity treatments, which has inspired innovation.

Two drug companies have recently marketed drugs for obesity and diabetes that regulate hormones to reduce appetite. The Food and Drug Administration approved Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy in June 2021. It has been associated with an average of 15% weight loss. Eli Lilly’s Tirzepatide was approved last month to treat diabetes, but trial data show a weight loss of 22.5% after a little over 16 months. Those results beat those of many behavioral interventions, which tend to produce only short-lived effects, as the same economic incentives persist after the pounds come off.

Photo doesn't quite get across the sheer size here but look at those comically small hands, feet and phone to get a better sense of what a monument this one truly was.

Very epic doe

This day the hunger predictably set in. Though it doesn't really faze me as im pretty resistent to the urge at this point. I feel tired but that's probably an after effect of the 1 hour Thai massage and not the fasting. Could be a combination of both.

My weight this morning: 77.6 kilos. Thats 2 kilos less than yesterday.

BMI: 22.7. Thats minus 0.4 BMI.

Anyway tomorrow will be the last day but probably also the easiest one. Pinging @RPD in case he got anything to say. Also another opportunity to mock @dont_log_me_out complete that 24 hour fast you fat butt r-slur. Lack of willpower makes you a pathetic redditor or a w*man. EW!

He's unironically funny. Or Ironically? Idk what irony really means but nikocado avocado makes me laugh.

THAT'S MUH DISABILITY MOBILITY

Hey guys this one is a modern day classic. She doesn't upload anymore but watch as these cars almost KILLED HER. OH MUH GAWD.

Very worth watching in my opinion. Enjoy some highlights from some lady in a rascal, dubbed Mobility Mary by some of the more insensitive of you trolls.

Ok so I started this 3 day fast together with @RPD. This isn't my first time fasting as I do regular 1 or 2 day abstinence periods for gut health related reasons. I gained around 1 or 2 kilos on holidays in a really good Austrian hotel/resort (its a buffet/3 course menu mix frick you I paid too much not to pig out at the opportunity) so this is just me trying to loose it.

I drank around 3 or 4 liters of water today and some Red Bull energy zero (luv me caffeine simple as) and I feel fine. Hunger should set in tomorrow and then subside on day three. Anyway taking the opportunity to absolutely mock the shit out of @dont_log_me_out lmao fat butt wigga.

My weight morning of day 1: 79.6 kilos (frick you mutts wont type lbs) 23.1 BMI
