But if we subsidized it and it reduced intake and thereby obesity the benefits to a less obese populace would outweigh the costs of the subsidy. So… if everyone was on it they might not buy this guy’s keto chips but they’d be better off.

And anyway people won’t go to the gym or eat less they need a pill to take and this is it and that’s why I will work.


It reduces intake but the proportions of nutrients are still bad. So people lose muscle and skeletal weight more than fat.


If they stay static. But maybe they feel so much better after losing weight that they get more active?
