Well there's your problem. You're failing to believe and listen to the people who actually experience the problem, and insist that it simply can't be true.

I would overeat because the pleasure signals never stopped.

But sure, over 40% of Americans are obese and it's a personal moral failing, not something systemic.

> Again some discipline would go a long way rather than a pill

I lost about 40lb 10 years ago through diet and exercise. I did intense exercises at least 3x a week, and watched what I ate strictly.

Guess what: it all came back and then some, because I was white knuckling my way through life, and it was unsustainable.

You know nothing about my level of discipline, so you ought not comment on it.

> Let's see where all this medication puts this generation down the road

My bet is longer and healthier lives.
