I understand that on population level we can't just tell everyone "get on a diet", but when talking to you in particular, why couldn't you... just get on a diet?

Personally, I love food. I can't live without stuffing candy in my mouth. But I also have a tendency to get fat, so I weight myself every day, and based on that I either have a diet day or a cheat day. Moreover, I do a lot of physical exercise every day. The idea of having to depend on a drug to live is scary to me.

Having said the above, I'm sure that one day we'll create a drug that makes life of majority of population better, and we'll be able to administer it to everyone without major consequences.
