Reusable straws (and water bottles with straws). They're so hard to clean. And who carries those around? At that point, I'd rather not have a straw at all.

When I bought a water bottle it came with one of these straw cleaners

These are really handy things. The drainage holes in my UPVC front door blocked up and these were great for cleaning the drainage hole so that water stopped flooding into my house when it rained.
Drainage hole?? Omg how do I find this thing? Two of my windows leak when it rains.

NYC. I wouldn’t say I hate it, but it is highly overrated. I lived there for a few years and the cons outweighed the pros, imo.

GLP-1s. It's really concerning how they're handing them out to seemingly everyone. There isn't a lot of long-term data. What happens when you go off of it? What happens after you inevitably lose muscle mass? What happens to your kidneys and liver long-term? Weight loss wasn't even the original intended use of the drug, which is also why it's concerning. It's also not solving the root of the issue: food quality issues, food supply chain issues, modern sedentary lifestyles, cost of living, etc. It's just a bandaid.

Yes, I don’t understand the mentality of these people. The long term effects are completely unknown and given the way they work these are unlikely to be minimal. But keep on injecting yourself rather than tackle the underlying issues.

It's the same with vaping. These morons inhaling who knows what like their life depended on it. And with zero research on the long term effects. Absolute idiots.

I work in Mental Health; what is really concerning is the increase in referrals we are getting for people who have stopped taking the medication due to either physical health issues or simply not being able to afford it anymore then the weight gain is causing anxiety and low mood. Self-esteem in worse than it has ever been.

They're aren't handing them out to everyone at all,not here in the UK. The criteria is extremely strict,and privately it's the same. Don't believe all you read. If people are using underhand means to get it,that's on them,not the fault of the prescriber. It doesn't matter if it wasn't the intended use either,plenty of modern day drugs weren't designed for the issue they now treat,so that's irrelevant. They've been in use for decades,they have enough data. Did you say the same about the COVID Vaccine ? It may well be a bandaid for people,but honestly what other people do to their body isn't my business, as long as they're transparent about it and don't lie,saying it's Slimming World etc. obesity is now classed as a disease,there's new adverts on TV here stating as much,so it's absolutely no different from being prescribed statins,or hypertension medication.It is and will save billions in the long term.

Yea, and even if people put weight back on (which lots of obese people will, yo-yo up and down with their weight), a period of time at lower weight is better for their body. Obesity has such a massive impact on so many aspects of people's lives that any ways to reduce weight should be encouraged, in my opinion.

Precisely,imo they should be giving it out more,not less.

It's VERY hard to get on the NHS. Have a wee google and stop judging people's choices.
