@ack:
While not as opinionated, I used to think along similar lines as you.
I then discovered that not all weight problems stem solely form gratuitous over-eating.
I wouldnâ€™t wish the obesity experiences on the average person, but in your educated yet glib case, I pass the baton to you.

@nyokki: @jediadept: Tapeworms used to be a very common ailment in the US. They are fully symbiotic if managed properly (keep them small/young). Like I said - if your a fat-ass, it is a good solution. Stomach banding also works, but that's invasive and frankly an unnecessary surgery. Additionally, unless you are disgustingly fat, your medical insurance will not pay for stomach banding. Ingest a tapeworm segments. Purge your intestine every 3-4 months. Repeat until you have your weight at a normal level. Cost? Hardly anything. Besides this there is a positive psychological element to the tapeworm. The concept is disgusting, so a person is less likely to become addicted to tapeworms. Tapeworms are a viable medical option to treat obesity. Not nearly as good a solution as putting down the fucking fork, but still a very good solution to as problem.

@nyokki: Be glad that you can't; itâ€™s unimaginable unless you've been there. Tapeworms, used in this way, are more symbiotic than parasitic. @nyokki: Users may become anemic, so it's recommended to take vitamins.

If you can get past the icky wiggle factor;
Bovine tapeworms cysts are safe, and work quite well for inducing weight loss in humans. Though, it is recommended to remove them every four months; before they reproduce to control their size.

Wildly advertised in different preparations (dried, bottled, chocolate coated) in the 20s, a tapeworm consumed such ways would have been dead long before they were in your digestive system. Live cysts should be eaten to gain the desired effect.

Under NO circumstances should one purposely ingest pork or fish tapeworms; they can really mess you up!
