it was amazing

Incredibly good writing that explores the nuances in all the conversations that society is determined not to have about this medication, fatness, and access to food. Each topic is interwoven into a compellingly compassionate explorations of the pros and cons of the medication. This is one of the few things that have talked about this medication in a productive and helpful way.

I hear complaints about this not being unbiased, but that’s simply not a real thing anyone should either believe in or expect

Kaitlyn Ooo! This has been on my list, but I was worried about what kind of perspective it would take. Glad to see this review.
