Your findings from those articles are fascinating. Besides being culturally insidious, I wonder if some of the weight loss talk is SEO related (which doesn’t make it excusable!). This post was especially interesting to me as I just made my own first Substack post which in part poses the question “Does anyone have as much discipline as they want?” So to see the question you posed, “Why do we want more discipline?” was a great follow up!
Liina! I hadn't thought about the SEO part, and that's such a smart thought! Also, it makes me feel even sadder about this--I wonder if the writers truly had full control of any SEO language that may have been forced into the pieces before they were published! I am very excited to check out your post about discipline, too. Thanks for your comment. :)
