"No, no, no, you don't need to change a thing. Keep shoving your face with greasy, subsidized corn-oil fried fast food. Just take this hormone-disrupting injection (only 48 easy payments of $126.89/month (plus interest)) and you'll never get unproductiv- um, I mean, fat!"

It's actually even worse than that. It's once a month for the rest of your life, because studies have shown that you gain the weight back when you stop taking it.

Oof, screw that. If I wanted to lose weight I'd do it the old-fashioned way.

That being said, there are diseases like Down Syndrome where this is better than the alternative; they're genetically predisposed to overly harsh weight gain and can't lose it naturally.

This is the internet, how the hell was I supposed to know that when the news is globally applicable?
