"Magic shot" my ass. These weight loss drugs are just as harmful, ineffective, and fatal as all other weight loss drugs before them.

They still offer barely any actual weight loss when you look past the clickbait headlines and the flashy titles of research articles written by researchers paid by the drug companies selling the drugs. If you weigh 300 pounds and the drug helps you lose 5-10% of your body weight, congratulations. You're now 285-270 pounds. And the higher numbers unethically advertised by these companies who know that they're promising bullshit? 20% weight loss would make you 240 pounds. Welcome to thinness!

They still have countless negative health symptoms. Enjoy life with constant vitamin deficiencies, muscle loss, severe complications during anesthesia, kidney failure, the list goes on. Yes, these drugs also can kill you. And although it's 100% possible to live a fulfilling life while blind, going from seeing to suddenly blind out of no where because of these drugs would be distressing as fuck. And as somebody who's dealt with vitamin deficiencies due to anorexia, I can say that you Do Not Want Them. You don't want muscle weakness, motor and vocal tics, memory loss, damaged enamel, worse bone health, chronic fatigue, mood changes, a weakened immune system, nor any of the other symptoms of vitamin deficiencies. You may think this wouldn't happen to you, but it absolutely can and will.

They still require taking them for the rest of your life, if the drugs worked for you at all. You will gain the weight back. Yes, even while still taking the drugs. So not only will your tiny amount of weight loss fade away over time, you have to spend a fortune on these drugs for a lifetime. And there's no proof that even a lifetime of taking these weight loss drugs will manage to keep off those 15 minuscule pounds. You will gain the weight back, just like you will with every single diet, drug, product, exercise, program, surgery, food, and amount of "willpower."

You will not become a thin person by taking these drugs, but you also don't fucking need to become a thin person. The way out is educating yourself on fatphobia, diet culture, fat liberation, and weight-neutral healthcare. Now, are you going to use the exit door? Or are you going to keep harming yourself and other people by pretending thinness is the only way to have a worthwhile life?

And not just in the novel: After all, Melville had asked Nathaniel Hawthorne to his cottage. In 1851, while composing Moby-Dick, he wrote Hawthorne a series of letters as heated by mid-19th-century standards as any scene in Heated Rivalry. In inviting his own possible situationship to come to his home—in his first known letter to Hawthorne—Melville, like a doped-up, concussed Shane, affects a lightness that doesn’t disguise its own feverishness: 'I am not to be charmed out of my promised pleasure […]. Your bed is already made, & the wood marked for your fire. […] I keep the word ‘Welcome’ all the time in my mouth, so as to be ready on the instant when you cross the threshold.' This 'welcome,' pleasurably effervescent on the tongue but freighted with the unsaid, is Melville’s version of the Canada Dry ginger ale and Coca-Cola that Ilya and Shane stock for each other."
