We all know that weight loss in obesity is good- but why does it help? And why is weight regain afterward harmful? 🤔

Russ Vought wasn't lying when he said he wanted to inflict "trauma" on our public servants.
This is what he is doing...with RFK Jr.'s permission at HHS. Last night, they destroyed our nation's ability to track and report emerging diseases/potential pandemics, among other things.
This cannot stand.
