Insurance dropped it for weight loss. You lobbied the wrong groups, apparently. I guess the “excessive weight is a health crisis” lost out to the “excessive weight is a sign of a defective person”. Again.

Alternate title: Economist unburies head from sand and catches up with the rest of the intelligent world.

Nope. Not gonna do that. The only way to win is not to play.

That was my first thought as well… That glare is a case study in deep seeded anger over having repressed one’s true being for a lifetime and then seeing others have what you thought wasn’t possible.
